I retained the services of Phil Azachi after my dad passed away suddenly in July. During one of the most traumatic events of our lives, we found ourselves stuck in working on my fathers estate without a will. Something that seemed extremely difficult and impossible to do without outside help. I was fortunate to come across DeCandido & Azachi who were located close enough for me and my mom to work with. Phil handled every detail with extreme care and professionalism. My mom and I were updated every step of the way, even when we had a couple of small road blocks. His positive outlook, patience with all of our questions, due diligence and expert knowledge, we were able to finish everything in a short amount of time. I highly recommend their services if you find yourself in similar circumstances.

Upon first meeting Phil for the purpose of Estate Planning, I was immediately impressed by his positive energy, compassionate spirit, legal expertise, and enthusiasm for the Law. We have recently worked together to create a Revocable Trust. This process is complex, labor intensive and demands patience, expertise and experience. Despite the many challenges posed by the Covid 19 Pandemic, because of Phil’s creative thinking we have been able to successfully complete this project. And finally, Phil is understanding, non-judgmental and meticulous in explaining complex legal issues on a level that the average person can understand.
