My siblings and I had to secure a nursing home and health care coverage for our brother who suffered from dementia and was not able to care for himself. I did some cursory research in the Saugus area and found Spano & Dawicki, LLC and made an appointment to meet with them. Andrea Witt and Melissa McCullough met with the entire family, including my brother and were instrumental in providing us with the guidance, care and responsiveness that the family needed in order to secure MassHealth for him. From the initial meeting to providing answers to MassHealth on behalf of our brother, to advise the family on how we should handle his financial situation and to the final signing of the appropriate documents needed to secure the coverage for him, we felt very comfortable with the work that Andrea and Melissa were doing on our brother's behalf. Everyone at Spano & Dawicki made the family welcomed and that put us at ease as we had no idea of how to navigate the requirements and needs of our brother. If you need Elder Care assistance, I would highly recommend that you make an appointment and talk to one of the dedicated lawyers. It made a tremendous difference for our family and provided a place for our brother to live in safety.

I have worked with attorney Spano to prepare documents and obtain long term Masshealth for both of my parents. He and his staff were warm, welcoming, and professional. He gives information in an easily understandable way. He is straightforward, but in a gentle manner since he understands the emotions his clients may be experiencing surrounding the reason for his hire. He and his staff have always treated me and my family with the utmost respect. They quickly respond to calls and emails. I am very lucky to have found this office to help take care of my parents' legal needs.

I would like to take this time to thank the law firm Spano and Dawicki for their hard work in sorting through my family’s estate. I would highly recommend them to anyone that needs to establish wills, estate closures or any legal action required.

My husband and I decided it was time to have our wills done. We made an appointment at Spano and Dawicki and met with Stephen. He talked us through the entire process, explaining every section as we went along and answered any questions we had. The entire staff was very professional and we are very happy with our decision, we will return should we ever need anything else. The office was exceptionally clean and especially during this time, that is important.

My aunt hired Andrea to help her with timeshare issues. Not only did Andrea solve the problem, her communication and follow up skills were outstanding. We highly recommend her

Spano and Dawicki is excellent! I urge you to consider and then choose this firm for your estate planning, wills, health care proxy, and overall legal rights. The treated me and my wife impeccably and clearly. Their knowledge of legal areas affecting LGBT, disability, seniors, healthcare planning is extensive, up to date, and accurate. Every member of their team is pleasant, professional, and helpful. Their office location is easy to find, plenty of parking, including accessible parking, and well lit entry. Their office space is inviting, comfortable. I appreciate the legal advice we received and receive from Stephen and Francine and their team! I recommend Spano and Dawicki for your legal needs, particularly if you plan on becoming and/or living as a senior citizen with access to healthcare and your accumulated assets.

How did I get in the Leonard Florence Center for Living? My awesome attorney, Stephen Spano! I was living in my Medford condo and falling all the time on the floor. I wore an alarm so it triggered 911. Medford firefighters would come to pick me up off the floor. I retired from Chelsea Public School. I had health care workers coming to my condo. They advised me about getting worse. Two of my friends hired Stephen Spano to help them. They told me to call him. I did. I couldn't go to his office. I made an appointment for him and a woman attorney to come to my condo. I unlocked the door to my unit and waited. When they a rang the doorbell, I went to buzz them in. I fell! They found me on the floor! Medford Fire came to get me up. Stephen always tells the story of how he met me as he's lying on the floor. He took me to Leonard Florence days later. I struggled getting out to the van the Center provided. We arrived here and I never went home again. Stephen convinced me to stay here. My sister and my attorneys went back to my condo to get me a few things. To make a long story short between my Sister and Nephew my messy condo got cleared out. I have ALS. I can’t walk or talk. Stephen sold my car and condo. He does my taxes every year and looks for ways to save me money. Stephen is in charge of my life! My cousin called Stephen “my Guardian Angel”. I love Stephen! He’s so funny!
