Everyone there (paralegals, receptionist and lawyers) were diligent and professional and put us very much at ease.

This is, without exaggeration, the most highly unprofessional and emotionally vacant law firm I…read morehave ever dealt with. From the very beginning, everything appeared pleasant enough--smiles, polite tones, reassurances. But once they had secured their fees, the entire demeanor shifted. The courtesy evaporated. What followed was a pattern of condescension, deflection, and outright indifference that never improved. My experience with this firm spans multiple years, not a single isolated incident. I first encountered this behavior over three years ago. Today, due to circumstances beyond my control, I had no choice but to contact them again--and the experience was identical. This is not a fluke, not bad timing, and not a rough period. This is simply how they operate. Simple, basic requests--such as asking for a routine email to be sent--were treated as though they were unreasonable impositions. Communication was strained at every turn. Phone calls were passed from person to person with no accountability. Everyone was a "messenger," no one was responsible, and nothing was ever actually resolved. They are absolute masters at passing the buck. What is most alarming is that this behavior was not limited to one bad employee. Every single person we interacted with behaved this way. It feels systemic, almost institutional--like apathy, deflection, and quiet hostility are part of their training. Their tone consistently bordered on contempt. Every word, every exchange felt tense, defensive, and unnecessarily adversarial, as though clients were an inconvenience rather than the reason the firm exists. Dealing with this firm over time is emotionally exhausting. You begin to brace yourself before every interaction, knowing it will be tense, unhelpful, and draining. You are subtly made to feel as though asking for assistance--while paying for their services--is somehow unreasonable. The cumulative effect is frustration, helplessness, and emotional fatigue, especially when you are already navigating grief and loss. There was no sense of guidance, advocacy, or professionalism--only a cold, lackadaisical attitude that at times felt almost masochistic in how much friction they seemed determined to inject into even the smallest interactions. At no point did we feel supported, advised, or respected. Most disturbing of all was their complete and total lack of empathy. This firm handled an estate during a period of profound emotional vulnerability. One would expect, at minimum, a baseline of human decency. Instead, beneficiaries were treated as obstacles. There was no compassion, no patience, and no acknowledgment of the emotional weight of the situation--just irritation, detachment, and an air of "not our problem." Repeated attempts to resolve basic matters were met with thinly veiled annoyance. There was no concern for outcomes, no sense that they cared how their actions--or inaction--affected real people. The experience left us feeling dismissed, disrespected, and completely worn down. These are exactly the kinds of lawyers who give the profession a bad name. Cold, dismissive, unresponsive, and utterly devoid of accountability. I am writing this so others do not make the same mistake.

My wife and I moved recently from Boston to New York for a combination of career opportunities but…read moreeven more importantly to be close to our first grandchild and now, a couple of years later, we now have 2 grandchildren (if I knew being a grandparent was this great, I would have done it first- lol). My wife and I have been good at planning over the years for things such as weekend chores, nice vacations away and even with more serious and complicated things like Estate Planning including health care proxy, distribution of assets and end of life issues and things such as that. While in Boston, we had a wonderful Attorney, who was also a wonderful friend for decades, and he helped us to initially establish a comprehensive Estate Plan and made sure we met on a regular basis to  discuss and update any changes, if need be, in our life status.   My wife and I recently returned to Boston for a short business trip and met with our Attorney while we were there to discuss our Estate Plan.  He suggested that since we are permanently living in New York it would be best to meet with a New York based Attorney and discuss a New York based Estate Plan since Estate Planning laws in New York are similar but different than in Massachusetts and this approach would eliminate any confusion. So, upon our return to New York, we contacted a friend who recommended Michelle A. Dantuono, Esg,  an Attorney with Kurre Schneps LLC in Manhasset, NY. This was probably the best recommendation we've received in a long...long time. My wife and I met with Michelle in her office and explained who we were, how we were introduced to her and our current Massachusetts based Estate Planning situation and needs.  Michelle actively listened during our entire initial meeting and it was such a pleasure to have someone really listen to what we said, to help us determine what had stayed the same and what had changed since our relocation to New York and then develop an action plan with Next Steps to produce a new Estate Plan based on New York law. We met a number of times with Michelle and she guided us beautifully through difficult discussions about end of life care, distribution of our assets and complicated issues that are easy to avoid but necessary to discuss and resolve. Michelle was so sensitive about the sensitive issues we discussed  such as what is left behind when we are no longer here. Those are not easy discussions at all but Michelle was a master at helping us express issues we were not comfortable with but necessary to identify. Michelle is an outstanding Attorney but she is also an outstanding woman. We are so pleased we met Michelle. We are so pleased with the wonderful work she did with us. We are so pleased with our Estate Planning position and feel secure with our current needs and wants. This would not have happened without Michelle. So, if you ever have a need for outstanding Estate Planning services I want you to contact Michelle at Kurre Schneps LLP in  Manhasset, New York. I promise - you won't be disappointed and that's a promise! Best wishes, Thomas M Burke.

From the first moment I connected with Esagoff Law Group, I felt listened to, supported, and fiercely represented. Janet is not only an exceptionally sharp and experienced attorney -- she is also kind, strategic, and unflinchingly honest. She handles complex legal matters with calm confidence and always has her clients' best interests at heart. Her staff is equally impressive: responsive, compassionate, and knowledgeable. Every person I interacted with made me feel like I mattered -- like I wasn't just a case file, but a real person navigating difficult circumstances with their help. Janet went above and beyond for me, personally and professionally, and I will be forever grateful for her relentless advocacy, integrity, and warmth. If you are looking for a law firm that is intelligent, trustworthy, and genuinely human -- this is it. I would recommend Esagoff Law Group without hesitation to anyone needing expert legal support. She is even a Licensed Problem Solver - and she absolutely lives up to that title.

However, my wife found them to be inattentive with many phone calls unanswered. We switched to Connors and Sullivan and were very satisfied with the service and advice. Since then, they handled my mother's estate and ours as well, all the time, completely satisfied with the level of service and advice. This is not a Park Ave firm with fancy offices, they are geared toward working class people and their offices are modern functional. They are a big firm and the staff does turn over, so if you need a firm where you must have the same lawyer each time a legal issue needs attention, then you should probably continue searching. However, if good legal service at reasonable prices is most important, then Connors and Sullivan is a great firm to consider.

I went to a seminar that Jason hosted on SI, and I'd be shocked if I found someone more personable (and kinda funny) who could better explain all the levels, scenarios and complex areas to consider in estate planning for your family. He even gave his number and WhatsApp for further questions. He gets back to all these people who aren't even his clients. (If you do not plan ahead -- the government and long-term care / health insurance needs will GET you, and everything you worked for. So sad.) He gave a 90-min dinner presentation to over 100 people, then offered everyone a free, personalized hour-plus consultation in depth with a paralegal to visualize your plan and assets. The latter is $300+ with other lawyers. For most basic set-ups, I don't think you'd work with Jason directly, (though I think he's involved somewhere), but you seem to get what you need from anyone at his firm. They do not pressure you. And they answer any concerns very promptly. He knows that many of those 100+ people at the seminar will end their experience at the (really) good dinner and much-needed education, and he's OK with that. So I thought I'd write a review.
