Dear Vincent, Always an honor & a pleasure to hear you speak. “You’re awesome.” Your knowledge & passion are a gift! Thanks for sharing with us.
Kim, Thank you for running the seminars at St. Francis for us. You helped many people in a way they could understand and feel comfortable asking questions. I know I learned some things from you and know others told me they also learned things, have a better understanding of what to do and were impressed and grateful for your presentation. Thank you for coming to our parish. I have already spoken to my pastor and let him know that your seminars were excellent and well received.
Attorney Deanna Eble was extremely patient and cooperative in preparing and reviewing with me my irrevocable trust. Deanna understood my needs and concerns and fine-tuned the trust verbiage accordingly. I will tell my friends that the Russo Law Group has a smart and caring partner with Attorney Deanna Eble and I will recommend her to my friends and family.
After losing both parents this year I was so happy with your firm. Everything was easier and everyone was very kind and helpful. Cathy Evans was very responsive and usually worked late into the evenings to make sure my questions were answered. Ms. Eble and Mr. Einhart have been amazing as well. We still have the estate to wrap up but I am certain that with Russo Law Group’s help, all will be well. Thank you.
My husband and I were in need of an attorney to set up health care and estate planning. An associate of my husband’s recommended Russo Law Group located in Garden City, New York. They had helped him several years before with his elderly mother’s estate. His recommendation proved to be invaluable. The attorney, Deanna Eble, who handled our affairs was knowledgable, professional and extremely easy to communicate with. Deanna’s case manager, Cathy Evans, was extremely well-informed, accessible and responsive and came across as a person who sincerely enjoys helping other people. Thanks, Deanna and Cathy!
I have had the pleasure of working with Deanna Eble and her team for several years for Elder Law, Estate Planning and Medicaid Planning. Deanna has consistently demonstrated outstanding technical expertise combined with excellent judgment with a caring and compassionate demeanor. The team is an excellent resource for elders and their families. Not only are they extremely talented legal advocates, but they also put their hearts into their work. I have appreciated their compassion and guidance with all issues. Deanna has provided to myself and my family the information we needed to make informed decisions. All of the team have been wonderful and I greatly appreciate their patience and support. I have and will continue to recommend Russo Law Group.
Dear Kim and Jackie, About three years ago we went to a free seminar luncheon on Elder Care hosted by Russo Law Group. Kim Christian and Jacqueline Bergeron were in charge of running this seminar. At that time, we thought that we didn’t really need to plan, but after this seminar, we realized how little we knew and how much we needed to legally protect ourselves and our family. A year later, due to health reasons, we needed to get our affairs in order. I called Russo Law and set up a meeting with Kim Christian and Jackie Bergeron. These two women are a powerhouse of information, accuracy, thoughtfulness, helpfulness, professionalism, efficiency and genuine concern. They walked us through a mountain of forms and after two months, we were presented with an organized binder of everything we needed, from new deeds, to trust accounts, to health proxies, to advanced directives, to powers of attorney. They stayed on the phone with one particular bank for easily two hours. We entrusted them with our financial and personal lives and they came through for us in a most comforting and professional manner. They also accommodated us when we had to meet with my two sons by coming to my house to facilitate the signing of many documents. Additionally, Russo Law has “sharefile”, which has all of our documents online and can be accessed via a password. Throughout the year, I had questions and willingly joined their Peace of Mind Program. This program offers worry-free maintenance of our estate plan for an annual fee, which bypasses our need for concern about extra fees. We can also transfer or gift our free one-hour attorney meeting to family member or friend. I would not hesitate for a second to recommend Kim Christian and Jacqueline Bergeron to take care of your estate planning and elder care needs. Sincerely and thank you.
There is a very special person working at Russo Law, and that person’s name is Joanna A. Perez!. During the time of my husband’s (Paul Susskind Sr’s) admission to Stony Brook University Hospital in early April of 2018 and his diagnosis of Dementia/Altizmers disease, he never came home again. Of course, once the diagnosis was determined and some additional time spent at Stony Brook University Hospital, it was time to decide where Paul Susskind would go next. Sadly and heartbreaking to our entire family, he could not come home. Our family found a Nursing Facility and proceeded to have my Husband Paul transferred there. During that time it became clear that an attorney was warranted and I contacted Russo Law. My Assigned attorney was Mr. Frank L. Buquicchio, and My Case Manager was Joanna A. Perez. From the moment I spoke to Joanna until today, I have never forgotten how kind, knowledgeable, and most important to me how caring she was, how she explained everything to me – I had never been through anything like this before, and I recollect how helpful, knowledgeable and caring Joanna Perez was to me. I could ask Joanna something and sometimes due to all the pressure and upsetment I was under, I am sure I would call her back again a few hours later and probably ask the same question. Joanna never got angry or upset when I would call her back and would always once again listen and help me with my questions and responses. As time went on with my husband Paul in a nursing facility it started to become clear that he may have to go on Medicaid. Once again I was a wreck and once again Joanna came to the rescue. She told me all of the paperwork required for Medicaid, which seemed like a suitcase full to me at the time, and I worked long and hard getting all this paperwork together. I finally called Joanna to tell her I had all together and the next time I went to Bay Shore to meet with Mr. Frank Buquicchio, who walks in to meet me???, Joanna. It was a pleasure to meet her in person and of course, Joanna took the paperwork back to the main office for me. Well, as luck and God would have it, my husband Paul did not make it to Medicaid, and who finally gave me all my paperwork back, you guessed it, it was Joanna! She kept it in the main office until after Paul’s wake. During the time of Paul’s stay in the nursing home, I cannot imagine how many times I called Joanna at Russo Law. There was so much to know and to understand and when it is you, the spouse of someone you love dearly, it is difficult to do all alone. Yes, Joanna was there for me. Whatever I needed to know, the call to her was always the right decision. Actually, I am thankful to be able to write this today to thank Joanna for the many things she did that I did not expect her too–one of them being my crying. Some days were difficult for sure. Great employee and equally a great and caring woman to be so kind to me in difficult times, during what I am sure was always a busy day. I never really did take the time until now to say how kind, thoughtful, caring, and helpful Joanna Perez was to me and ultimately to the rest of my family. I surely would recommend Joanna and of course Mr. Frank L. Buquccchio to anyone asking. Joanna Perez, always there both on the phone and in person, always eager to assist, extremely knowledgeable as well as bright, caring, thoughtful, and easy to speak with. Thank you, Joanna.
I am passing along a recommendation of using the Russo Law Group as my Trust, Will, Living Will and Health Care Proxy were taken care of with much knowledge and expertise. These important documents are not so pleasant a task as ones mortality must be addressed. My lawyer, Deanna Eble, put me at such ease over my worry of losing my NYC exemptions on my property bill as she asured me they will fight for my rights if the City wanted to take away any of them. The drafts of these documents were explained to me and had time to go over them. The signing with witnesses was done very properly and I was given a handsome file system in which to conain all documents easily. I thank all of the Russo Law Group who helped and assisted me.
Working with the Russo Law Group is a pleasure. The treatment of my Uncle and the patience to explain the situation was second to none. Cathy and Deanna were professional and understanding. I would recommend working with them to anybody.
