Highly recommend! I hired Attorney Carmines to help with settling my mother's estate. Her estate was fairly large, and was going to me and my brother and to our step-sisters. The step-sisters were fighting everything I tried to do. They even threatened to take me to court. He stepped in, and calmed the situation down. Then he helped me with a plan to settle the estate, handling the court filings, and was always there to help. And I never had to speak to the step-sisters again (what a relief!). I was confident that he was protecting me. His fees were reasonable, and the end result was exactly what I wanted.

Will helped me with settling my mother's estate. I was the executrix and was having difficulty with a sibling - with getting information, getting responses... Will helped me a lot with negotiating with her partner to finalize the estate, as well as guiding me with probate filings. He's not always the most responsive, and his great guidance and clear explanations outweigh this. I definitely recommend Will.

I am beyond satisfied with William Carmines. He helped me and my husband update our will, and he was thorough and competent. He made us feel at home with the whole process and answered every question we had. Very professional and polite.

Will was a very patient and understanding attorney. He explained everything in my estate planning and helped me understand the more complicated areas of my plan. I never felt rushed and I would highly recommend William in his all of his areas of expertise.

My sister pasted away in Dec of 2013, and I was having difficulty with a few debt collectors, in that they were not satisfied with the correspondents that I sent them reporting that there was no monies to pay her bills. Mr. Carmines and the staff did a fantastic job in their correspondence and eased a lot of my worries due to that I thought I would be responsible for payment. In 2015 my renal failure reach a point of needing medical attention, so I returned to Mr. Carmines and had my last will and testament, POA, and Advance Directive worked up. He and his staff made me feel comfortable while in the office, and did an exceptional job explaining the in/outs of the legal documents. Answered all questions in a way that made the documents understandable. If I have any further legal issues that need to be addressed Mr. Carmines and his staff will be called upon again. Thank you.

Mr Carmines has an excellent demeanor and grasped the entirety of my issue with minimal explanation. Within one meeting, he was able to provide me with a clear explanation to the meaning of, what were for me, confusing and complex legal terms found within my mother's living trust. Before the meeting ended, he was able to provide me with a notarized written interpretation that I was able to provide to a financial institution who's internal legal department were providing me multiple differing opinions on how to interpret and settle the living trust account. Mr Carmines expedient and professional work was of significant benefit to me as I settled my mother's estate.

A truly professional, knowledgable, personable lawyer who helped me update my trust, medical and financial powers of attorney, will, and successfully assisted in recovery of retirement funds.

As the Executor of the Estate I met with Mr. Carmines and his staff several times during this process. Each time they were all very professional and pleasant. There were times when I felt like the process was taking a long time (15 months) from start to finish. One major problem with this process. A certified document was mailed to an address and recipient who not only did not live at that address, but the address that the document was mailed to was the address of the property that was sold in finalizing the estate.

My husband and I required updates for several documents for estate planning - trusts, wills, powers of attorney, medical directves, etc. Mr. Carmines thoroughly reviewed our documents and provided sound recommendations for all our documents.

Mr. Carmines is an easy, pleasant communicator. His expertise in estate planning provided new insights and his thoughtfulness throughout made for a positive first experience.
