I sought the services of Tracey for the sale of my home based on the recommendation of my real estate agent, who I trust without question. Lucky me. Trace was responsive, attentive and experienced. Her advice was frank and direct, which I appreciate, and her team worked seamlessly. I would not hesitate to engage her again.

Tracey handled both our sale and purchase and was incredible all the way through. Both transactions were complicated to say the least and she gave us very sound advice and guidance in every step. We have the most trust in her and cannot imagine we would have made it to the same end point without her.

You wont find an attorney who is smart, and empathetic at the same time as William Cooper. I have spoken to many personal injury attorneys who would go no further than a phone call. Mr. Cooper took the extra step and made inquiries for me just to try and help me with an issue that's been unresolved. He is patient, clear and concise in conversation and does not rush, he waits until you have a full understanding of all aspects of the situation. Don't waste your time searching for the right personal injury attorney, look no further than William Cooper. He is a rare find!

Joe, as someone else said, is "The best of the best" for estate planning purposes and estate matters. He is extremely busy so sometimes he comes off as being abrupt. My parents used his services, their friends used his services and now I use his services. You will do yourself a big favor using Joe for your estate planning - he loves what he does and he does it so well.

I'll admit that I felt a little reluctant to let Randy handle my case. He's very young and I was concerned that a lack of experience would hurt me. I needed a lawyer that could make sure the ethics issues related to my bar admission wouldn't stand in my way. And I thought Randy might not be the person to handle it. All of my concerns were unfounded. Randy was the perfect lawyer for me. I have no complaints whatsoever and have nothing but good things to say. I gave a 5 star review, so obviously, he handled the legal aspects appropriately. But more than that, Randy recognized that being a lawyer requires something that doctors would call "bedside manner." Each case may just be a case to a lawyer, but to the client, it's their life. And he made it seem like my case was as important to him as it was to me. I can look back now and admit that there were times I behaved unreasonably or irrationally. This case was a big deal to me, and it elicited big emotions. Randy did an incredible job of making me feel like my response wasn't absurd, while also directing me toward behavior that was more helpful to my situation. I'm a lawyer now, in part, due to Randy Tesser's efforts. And I can tell you that it's rare that a lawyer is so capable of commiserating with his client, while also pushing them appropriately, while also excelling at the law. I highly recommend him.

I am one of thousands of out-of-state attorneys licensed in New York State who had their license unknowingly suspended en masse by a court order years ago after leaving the state and no longer filing bi-annual registrations. In my case, the NY license was not required in my new state of practice, where I also had obtained a license by passing that state’s bar exam., so my suspension persisted unbeknownst to me. Upon learning of the suspension, which was extremely unsettling to me, the best thing I did was engage Randall Tesser. He has extensive experience in the reinstatement process. Randall clearly outlined an approach and was highly skilled in successfully reinstating my license according to the accelerated timeline he laid out for me. Along the way, I found his counsel, advice and work product to be highly skilled, empathetic, judicious and very responsive. I highly recommend Randall Tesser to anyone finding themselves in a similar situation.

As a first time home buyer, trying to navigate purchasing a co-op in New York, Louis was crucial in informing me about all the nuances and deciphering all the legal jargon to help me feel comfortable along the process. Although it was a long road to get to closing, Lou stayed patient and helped keep me calm even though I'm certainly prone to freaking out about everything. I can't thank Lou enough for handling everything pre, during, and after the whole co-op purchase process! It really made all the difference in making my first real estate purchase a positive experience.

Lou has helped our family through many legal matters, estate matters, purchase of a new home, selling of an apartment and much more. We would have been lost without Lou’s guidance and expertise. In addition, if Lou is not an expert in a legal matter, he will point you in the right direction. Never leaving you to fend for yourself, he will introduce you to credible and trustworthy resources to help you with any matters you or your family are navigating. We are grateful to have found Lou and we hope he never retires !

Brett handled both the sale of our condo and purchase of a new home. He was very knowledgeable and approachable. He was very responsive and promptly let us know about anything unusual or risks that we as seller or buyer should be aware of. He took care to explain the key points of real estate transactions. He handled the communications on both ends very well. He has a very deep knowledge and network of realtors and real estate industry contacts in Westchester. He was able to coordinate both closings and the closings went smoothly. For real estate transactions, I highly recommend Brett and his team.

You were the best and most qualified in all my searches. Your reviews were stellar and stood apart. My lawyer friend vetted you further and said you were the “real deal” and so we chose you.

Navigating a complex and deeply personal legal matter was one of the most challenging experiences of my life, but Kimberly Catala and the Filippatos Law Firm were truly exceptional every step of the way. Kimberly was not only highly skilled and professional but also deeply compassionate, which made an immensely stressful time feel much more manageable. Her meticulous attention to detail, clear communication, and genuine care for my well-being left me feeling confident and supported throughout the process. I am incredibly grateful for the outcome of my case, which reflected the recognition and validation of my experience that I had hoped for. If you're looking for an attorney who combines legal expertise with empathy and understanding, I cannot recommend Kimberly Catala and the Filippatos Law Firm enough. They turned an overwhelming situation into one where I felt empowered and heard. Thank you, Kimberly, for everything!

Lou is personable, knowledgeable, and pays close attention to detail; on top of that, his pricing was very reasonable. We would use him again and would recommend him to anyone looking to buy property in the area.

My wife and I were in need of an attorney when purchasing our first home. I spoke to a few attorneys, but Lou came via way of a good friend. Lou came across as fair but firm, knowledgeable, and experienced. My wife and I knew he would get the job done and he was the type of person we needed to help us close on our first home. Lou was extremely professional, responsive at all hours of the day and even on weekends, more than patient with our many questions, and meticulous and thorough as he guided us through the closing process. Everything went smoothly -- much smoother than we ever could have expected for our first home purchase -- and we couldn't be happier. Thank you, Lou!

I had the good fortune of retaining Lydia Milone for my divorce proceedings in 2019, and I say this with the utmost respect and gratitude- Lydia is a lioness; ferocious in her client’s defense and protective of their needs and emotions in what are for them, very turbulent times. Lydia shepherded me through one of the most difficult experiences of my life- listening to my concerns, protecting my interests and offering sage advice through the entire process. I’m eternally grateful that it was she by my side through such conflict, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of assistance traversing the legal system in matters of divorce and family law.

John Jones was so great! We'd been working with another law firm to try to close on some land in upstate NY. The closing date was supposed to be in September 2020. We switched to working with John in January 2021 and he was able to do in 4 weeks what had taken the other firm over 4 months. If only we'd switched sooner, perhaps we could have avoided the extra time spent, interest paid, and all the price hikes on building materials. However we are SO SO SO pleased with how diligently John worked on our closing. He was responsive, informative, and thorough. Thanks John!

I found the communication to be less effective than I had hoped. There were instances where my questions went unanswered, and I felt a bit lost in the process without sufficient guidance. I believe there may be opportunities for improvement, especially when assisting new buyers, particularly within the Hispanic community. I do not recommend him

Brett handled both the sale of our condo and purchase of a new home. He was very knowledgeable and approachable. He was very responsive and promptly let us know about anything unusual or risks that we as seller or buyer should be aware of. He took care to explain the key points of real estate transactions. He handled the communications on both ends very well. He has a very deep knowledge and network of realtors and real estate industry contacts in Westchester. He was able to coordinate both closings and the closings went smoothly. For real estate transactions, I highly recommend Brett and his team.

What a Probate Lawyer Can Do for You

A probate lawyer assists with the legal process of administering a deceased person’s estate. This often involves guiding executors (if a will exists) or beneficiaries (if no will exists) through the probate process to settle the estate according to the deceased’s wishes or applicable laws. Probate lawyers can help validate the will, distribute assets, resolve disputes among heirs, handle outstanding debts or taxes, and ensure the estate is legally and efficiently administered.

Whether you’re an executor of an estate or an heir facing probate proceedings, a probate lawyer can help you navigate the often-complex legal process to ensure the estate is settled correctly.

When Should I Hire a Probate Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a probate lawyer when you are responsible for managing the estate of a deceased individual, especially in the following situations:

  • The estate has substantial assets: If the estate includes significant assets like real estate, investments, or business interests, legal assistance is often necessary to handle the distribution properly.
  • The will is being contested: If there are disputes among heirs regarding the validity of the will or the division of assets, a probate lawyer can help resolve the conflict.
  • The estate includes complex or unclear provisions: If the will contains complicated instructions or there are no clear beneficiaries, a lawyer can ensure that the estate is administered according to legal requirements.
  • There is no will (intestate estate): When a person dies without a will, the estate is subject to intestacy laws, which determine how assets are distributed. A probate lawyer can help navigate this process.
  • Debt or tax issues exist: If the estate owes significant debts or is subject to estate taxes, a probate lawyer can help ensure debts are paid appropriately and taxes are minimized.
  • Probate disputes: If family members or other parties are disputing the distribution of assets or challenging the executor's actions, legal representation is crucial to defending your rights and ensuring the estate is handled properly.

Hiring a probate lawyer early in the process can help avoid costly mistakes and ensure the estate is settled efficiently.

What Does a Probate Lawyer Do?

A probate lawyer provides a wide range of legal services to help manage and settle an estate. Their tasks can include:

  • Validating the will: Filing the will with the probate court and ensuring its legal validity.
  • Guiding executors or administrators: Advising the person responsible for managing the estate on their duties, including inventorying assets, notifying creditors, and paying debts.
  • Filing necessary paperwork: Preparing and submitting the legal documents required to initiate and complete the probate process.
  • Resolving disputes: Mediating or litigating disputes among heirs or between beneficiaries and executors, including challenges to the will or disagreements over asset distribution.
  • Handling debt and tax matters: Ensuring that outstanding debts, taxes, and estate taxes are properly calculated and paid from the estate’s assets.
  • Distributing assets: Ensuring that assets are distributed to the beneficiaries according to the will or intestacy laws, and that all legal requirements are fulfilled.
  • Closing the estate: Completing the final steps of the probate process, including filing a final accounting with the court and formally closing the estate.

How Are Probate Lawyers Paid?

Probate lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the estate and the nature of the legal work involved. Common payment structures include:

  • Hourly rate: Most probate lawyers charge by the hour, with rates depending on the lawyer’s experience and the complexity of the estate. Hourly rates can range from $150 to $500 or more.
  • Flat fee: For simple estates or straightforward probate tasks, some lawyers may charge a flat fee that covers all of the necessary legal work.
  • Percentage of the estate: In some states, probate lawyers are allowed to charge a percentage of the estate's value as their fee. This percentage typically ranges from 2% to 5%, depending on the size of the estate and state regulations.
  • Retainer fee: Some lawyers may require an upfront retainer fee, which is billed against as the probate process progresses.

It’s important to clarify the fee structure during your initial consultation to understand how you will be charged and avoid unexpected costs.

How Much Does a Probate Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a probate lawyer depends on several factors, including the complexity of the estate, the type of legal issues involved, and the lawyer’s fee structure. General cost estimates include:

  • Simple estates: For estates with straightforward assets and no disputes, probate legal fees can range from $2,500 to $10,000, depending on the lawyer's fees and the state's probate laws.
  • Complex estates: For larger or more complicated estates with multiple properties, business interests, or disputes, probate costs can exceed $10,000 and may reach $20,000 or more.
  • Hourly rates: If charged by the hour, expect rates between $150 and $500, depending on the lawyer’s expertise and geographic location.
  • Percentage fees: In some cases, a probate lawyer may charge 2% to 5% of the estate’s value, particularly for larger estates or those involving complex legal matters.

Always ask for a clear estimate of fees during your initial consultation to understand the total cost of probate representation.

Top Questions to Ask a Probate Lawyer

Before hiring a probate lawyer, it’s essential to ask the right questions to ensure you’re hiring someone qualified to handle your estate needs. Key questions include:

  1. What experience do you have with probate cases like mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has experience with estates of similar complexity, especially if disputes or high-value assets are involved.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Ask whether the lawyer charges an hourly rate, a flat fee, or a percentage of the estate, and request a cost estimate.
  3. What is the likely timeline for my probate case?
    While it’s hard to predict exactly, an experienced lawyer can give you a general idea of how long the probate process may take based on the specifics of your estate.
  4. What steps will you take to manage and distribute the estate?
    Ask about the lawyer’s approach to handling debts, taxes, and asset distribution.
  5. Will you be handling my case personally?
    In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle some aspects of your case, so it’s important to know who will be working on your probate case.
  6. What are potential challenges we may face?
    A good lawyer will be able to anticipate possible issues, such as will contests or creditor claims, and explain how they would handle them.

How to Check the Credibility of a Probate Lawyer

To ensure you’re hiring a reputable probate lawyer, follow these steps to check their credentials and experience:

  • Verify their state bar status: Check with your state’s bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no history of disciplinary action.
  • Look for probate experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in probate law and have experience handling estates of similar complexity.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for online reviews on platforms like Avvo or Martindale-Hubbell to see what past clients have said about the lawyer’s probate experience.
  • Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who can vouch for their professionalism and expertise in handling probate matters.
  • Look for membership in professional organizations: Membership in organizations like the American Academy of Estate Planning Attorneys (AAEPA) or the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA) can indicate a lawyer's commitment to estate and probate law.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most out of your first consultation with a probate lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

  • A copy of the will or trust (if applicable): Bring any estate planning documents left by the deceased, including wills, trusts, or powers of attorney.
  • List of assets and debts: Prepare a detailed list of the deceased’s assets (e.g., real estate, bank accounts, investments) and outstanding debts (e.g., loans, mortgages, credit cards).
  • Death certificate: Bring a certified copy of the deceased person’s death certificate.
  • Contact information for heirs and beneficiaries: Have a list of all individuals or entities named in the will or who are entitled to inherit under intestacy laws.
  • Questions about the probate process: Write down any questions you have about the process, costs, and potential issues you might face.
  • Relevant financial records: If available, bring any relevant financial documents, such as bank statements, property deeds, and tax returns.

By coming prepared, you can ensure a productive consultation and allow the lawyer to provide the best advice for your situation.
