Rosemarie came highly recommended, and surpassed what was expected. She was extremely helpful, and able to answer any questions and concerns we had. Not only that, she was available at all times and easy to reach. She made the purchase of our home a smooth transaction. Her knowledge in regards to real estate law was impressive and I feel like we learned a lot, due to her patience in explaining the process and walking us through it. Best attorney I have dealt with in my lifetime so far, and I highly recommend her to anyone!

What can I say about Rosemarie? She is brilliant, professional and confident in herself. Most importantly, Rosemarie knows the law. Rosemarie represented me in a criminal matter a number of years ago. I was completely humiliated and Rosemarie reminded me that my mistake did not define me as a person. She has a beautiful way of reaching out and touching others. After making her ingenious argument before the court, all charges were dismissed and no permanent criminal record would be forthcoming. I will be in her debt forever as I should be. Pure excellence. Thanks Rosemarie.

My father had passed away and my mother was ill. The family needed to get our affiars in order and a friend recommend Paul Fellin. I along with my siblings decended on his office with 1000 questions, in need of new documents and on a time crunch. He was wonderful, gave sage advice, got the documents completed in a timely fashion , even drove 25 min to meet with my mother in her home. I have reached out to him here and there for advice on matters he is not even handling for me and he always takes the call, responds quickly to email and just takes care of things.. I could not recommend him highly enough.

I had a small claims matter that most attorneys would not bother with, but Joe was most empathetic and helpful. On calling, Joe gave me expert advice, spending time to walk me through the paths that my case could take. He then edited my offer letter to give it the professional polish it needed. The cost was reasonable. It was such a relief to get expert help when i needed it and when most others wouldn't bother with it. Thank you Joe!

My wife and I put off doing a will and estate planning for years. We never felt comfortable to discuss those difficult questions and disclose that much personal information to someone. From the second we spoke with Joe we both felt extremely comfortable. His friendly demeanor and knowledge about what we needed now and what we could put off was exactly what we were looking for. We highly recommend Joe and his firm.

My experience working with Mr. Tramontano was nothing short of exceptional. His intellectual acumen was glaringly apparent and I was treated with the utmost respect and care during my time of need. Paul's knowledge of information technology, diligence and expeditious research efforts, upfront and honest communications left me with the peace of mind that my attorney was second to none. I would definitely recommend and do business with Paul again.
