She understands what needs to get done and knows what you as a client deserves. Very respectful individual and willing to go the limit for you amd your family

My experience with this attorney was exceptional! When my family faced the difficult decision of placing our beloved mother into long-term care, it was emotionally challenging and financially daunting. Needing help, I contacted numerous attorneys in the Capital District and they all referred me to the same lawyer: JulieAnne Calereso, Esq., an experienced attorney with a depth of knowledge in Crisis Medicaid Planning. From the very first consultation, she put me at ease and reassured me that I was not alone in this journey. She took the time to understand our family's unique situation and provided us with a clear roadmap of what needed to be done. Her expertise was evident as she guided me through the complex process of asset protection, eligibility requirements, and application procedures. She also helped me complete various legal documents and forms, ensuring their accuracy and timeliness. Throughout this stressful time, Julie was not only a legal advisor but also a supportive, understanding, and kind presence. She always took the time to listen to my concerns and patiently clarify complex issues, and was incredibly responsive by phone and email. Her expertise, communication, and genuine care surpassed all of our expectations. I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of legal advice.

Thanks to Eileen, I now have sole custody of my kids, and we finally feel safe and secure. Their unwavering support and expertise turned what seemed impossible into a reality. I highly recommend her for anyone seeking legal assistance in family court.

JulieAnn is an excellent attorney and wonderful person. She is knowledgeable about elder law as well as the more practical side of caring for aging parents. I found her to be accessible, easy to work with, compassionate and someone who understands how to navigate family dynamics. I recommend her highly if you are dealing with elder law, Medicaid and estate issues.

This review is long overdue. We hired Eileen for what seemed like a straightforward violation/custody modification case, but her performance was extremely disappointing. During our initial conversation, she made promises she never delivered on and showed a lack of responsiveness. It was evident she didn't remember important details about the case, even when I had to reintroduce myself on phone calls. To make matters worse, she used my provided information verbatim without any modifications, leading to spelling errors in our court documentation. She needlessly prolonged the case, seemingly for the sole purpose of making more money. Even the law guardian involved was shocked at her lack of preparation. I strongly advise staying away from this lawyer and finding someone more capable. Eileen is disorganized, overcharges clients, and fails to deliver results. Her services cost us $10,000, which could have been avoided if she had acted as I had suggested from the beginning. In today's day and age, such practices are unjust. She should reconsider her career as a lawyer.
