Reviews

JulieAnn Calareso is extremely knowledgeable and up to date in knowing how to settle an estate, create a will and/or a Trust. She explained all aspects of the process in lauguage I could follow and digest and gave clear directions on the parts that I should work on to expedite the process and bring all to closure. JulieAnn showed caring and understanding during the difficult parts of setting the estate. But most important is that Julie knows the law and how to apply it to every aspect of estates, wills and trusts. I am grateful to her for all of her help and guidance during this process.

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.

Julie Ann and staff made what could have been a very scary experience and made it very easy. They were very flexible in scheduling, friendly and professional and cost was reasonable. Julie Ann came highly recommended by a dear friend. I will recommend her to anyone I know who needs this help.

JulieAnn helped my wife and me prepare POA, Living Will, and Wills for both of us. She was very thorough and did a great job explaining the options to us. She was flexible in scheduling our meetings and was very pleasant. We would recommend her without reservation.

JulieAnn helped us to get all of our affairs in order by creating a Revocable Trust, Living Wills, Health Care Proxy, Power of Attorney and Last Will and Testaments for my wife and I. She was very thorough and explained everything and reasonably priced. We were very pleased.

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.

JulieAnn helped me and my son update my Will and POA. My son lives in another state and we used Zoom and regular mail. All matters including deciding whether or not to establish a Trust were efficiently worked out. I recommend JulieAnn and her firm most highly.

I’ve known Julie for over 20 years now. She helped me and my spouse when she became severely disabled and I didn’t know if I could take care of her myself or would she have to go to some kind of facility. Julie put us both at ease and her knowledge of the field was extremely in depth. Although the options were not great she made sure to assure us we would survive and things would be ok. Fast forward and unfortunately my wife passed. All planning we did before had to be redone. Julie made this easy and again, her knowledge in the areas of estate planning and making sure every i is dotted and t is crossed is an understatement. When I brought up some particulars that may have adverse effect she has options I had never even considered or thought were available. I am now moving forward with my loss, but am now relieved that no matter what happens to me things will be taken care as I wish and my family will be taken care off. It provides a peace of mind that is hard to describe. But it allows me to now live free and not have this worry when my time comes. It all taken care off. Thank you Julie. Denis

JulieAnn helped me secure a POA for my parents. She was compassionate, knowledgable, and concise. I reached out to her over the internet after being referred to her and she contacted me the same day. She was there when I needed help, she knew what she was doing, and she was fair in her pricing. Everyone I came into contact with, social workers, Eddy Alzheimer's Association, and even admissions personnel at senior communities knew who she was and respected her. Everyone I encountered had positive things to say about her. She was the absolute best.

I highly recommend JulieAnn Calareso for anyone seeking a trustworthy and competent trusts and estates attorney. JulieAnn was an absolute pleasure to work with. She answered all of my questions and made the process as easy as possible. She provided timely and valuable information to me. JulieAnn is someone I HIGHLY recommend to anyone seeking these services.

JulieAnn worked with us to update advanced directives. She was outstanding with understanding our circumstances and then explaining our options. Her knowledge base is outstanding and her work comprehensive and timely. JulieAnn provided additional counsel when asked about services our daughter may need. As our daughter lives out of state, she will not be a client of JulieAnn's and yet she generously offered suggestions and input. JulieAnn was a pleasure to work with and someone we would return to if necessary. She is recommended with high regard.

I have been nothing but happy with Julie. She helped my mother with her estate planning. When she passed her estate and will we’re handled professionally and throughly. I was so impressed that I had my own estate and will planned with her. She is courteous and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend her and firm.
