I have been a client with Stephen Spano since 2003. At the time my parents needed a Will, Power of Attorney and Health Care Proxy.We chose Stephen because he is very knowledgeable,compassionate, professional and honest.. Months later my father needed to enter a Nursing Home, Stephen took care of the transition and protected my mother's home. Going through this process my husband an I realized we needed to update our Will and set up a Health Care Proxy and Power of Attorney. My mother is 98 years old, has Dementia, lives in her own home with 24/7 caretakers. This would not be possible without the services of Stephen, and his wonderful staff. To this day he is still taking car of any situations that come up . Marjorie Godding

We retained Spano & Dawicki to help us through the Mass Health process for my father who had to move to a nursing home. At our consultation, Attorney Spano was transparent with respect to fees and what the process involved. Attorney Ouellette took over from there once we retained them and we were not disappointed. She was incredibly knowledgeable and patient with us and our less than ideal record keeping. Their experience of Mass Health and how this process works was invaluable and saved us more stress. We listened to them, accepted their recommendations, and were very pleased with the outcome. We will go back to have them handle our estate planning so our children don't find themselves in the same mess! Thank you Christine and Spano & Dawicki!

Francine Dawicki is outstanding! I’m working with her regarding the probate and selling of my father’s estate. I know I’m in good hands and have all confidence in her abilities, empathy and sincerity. The office is warm and welcoming as well as the wonderful support staff.

Several years ago my husband and I determined that it was about time for us to put our estate planning documents in place. We had heard about the Law Firm of Spano and Dawicki and came to realize that this Law Firm had an impeccable reputation and that their expertise was unmatched. We chose this Firm, because of our needs and because of the Law Firm’s reputation. My husband and I made an appointment with Attorney Stephen Spano at the firm , who facilitated the process for us. Not only was Attorney Spano efficient, and friendly, but very organized, down to earth and a wealth of knowledge. No one could ask for more. Our estate planning documents were drawn up perfectly with no stone left unturned. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About four years ago, a close family member fell gravely ill and died. Once again, because of our prior positive experience with Spano and Dawicki , we came back to the law firm to enlist them for their services and legal advice in our family member’s behalf regarding the conducting and settling our relative’s final affairs. What should have been a simple settling of an estate, became an absolute nightmare right from the beginning due to a long distance landlord and an extremely disgruntled beneficiary , among other things. Thank goodness for Attorney Andrea Witt and Senior Paralegal Sarah Chiaradonna, , who worked so tirelessly on every aspect of this matter , which even included wildly extensive circumstances that were ever evolving for a very long time . Attorney Andrea , and Senior Paralegal Sarah were constantly so gracious, and each of them always answered each of my questions , ever confirming to me that all would be fine at the time of settlement. They always assured me that each of my questions and concerns were valid, worthy of and merited an answer. You would have thought I was their only client. They treated my husband and me with kindness, compassion and thoughtful guidance, “every” step of the way……. and….. there were “very” many steps! All through the paperwork, timelines, phone calls and emails, Attorney Andrea and Senior Paralegal Sarah, were always upbeat and reassuring, which was invaluable during such a distressing experience. We highly recommend the Law Office of Spano and Dawicki to anyone that needs assistance or advice about anything related to elder law.

When my mother went into a nursing home unexpectantly, I thought for sure she would lose everything but Spano & Dawicki were able to create a trust fund for her.

Stephen Spano hired me to work on a tragic wrongful death case in which Attorney Spano handled all of the estate and trust work on behalf of the widow of a World War II veteran who was hit and killed by an MBTA bus. I got to see first hand the diligence, care and attention he gave to every member of the family. Attorney Spano not only masterfully managed every aspect of the formal planning for his client to ensure that all of her legal needs were met, he got personally involved in the lives of his client and her children to make sure that their lives remained in order. Attorney Spano and his wonderful staff went beyond the call of duty to take care of his client and her family. The number of hours he spent on these details was impressive. He is a compassionate, competent and kind man. I have since hired him to handle the trusts of a client of mine who requires his caring touch. His legal skills are without equal. He is the kind of professional I would want to handle the estate planning and trust work for a member of my own family. I give him the highest marks as a lawyer and a human being.
