What Our Clients Say

A few years ago my parents needed an elder care lawyer, and a friend of ours recommended Fratello Law. We met with Cheryl, who explained everything to us and answered all of our questions. The amount of information was overwhelming, and Cheryl patiently sat with us, going over everything again. Anytime I called Cheryl, she would get right back to me with an answer immediately. I also worked with Carrie, Rachel, and Eden, who, like Cheryl, are extremely professional, efficient and dedicated. Each one is very knowledgeable and very pleasant to work with. When it's time for me to see an elder care lawyer, you can be sure that I will go back to Fratello Law. They are the best, and you'll never find a better law firm!
C.B.
The team at Fratello Law are fantastic... Professional, Timely, and completely Trustworthy. I highly recommend them for any real estate transaction.
R.F.
Cheryl and her staff have handled various legal matters for me and always with the same level of professionalism and attention. They are experienced, honest and trustworthy. My needs were always put first and I was treated as a friend rather than a number. They went above and beyond and did everything with an ease and calmness that was very comforting. I highly recommend Cheryl and her firm with confidence.
M.U.
My wife and I couldn't be happier with the Fratello Law Firm, especially Rachel and Emily. Both Rachel and Emily made our wills and estate experience so worry free, relaxing and educational. All our questions were answered in such a caring and professional manor. They made it totally worry free from start to finish. We will be letting all our family and friends know about the Fratello Law Firm. A great firm and great staff.
J.C.
My family and I were very pleased with the services provided by Fratello Law. They are professional and easy to work with. The details of my mom's estate and the sale of her house were both handled impeccably. And Rachel was able to navigate a difficult situation we were dealing with perfectly. Thank you Fratello!
B.W.
When our mother passed away in June 2023, our family needed attorneys to guide us through the many details that needed to be addressed. We checked out a couple of attorneys and Fratello Law, the Smithtown office, won the day. Rachel started the ball rolling and tackled probate handling. Later, Cheryl joined us to navigate selling Mom's house. And finally back to Rachel to tie up the loose ends. They both were friendly, accessible and competent. Returned our calls and emails. No muss, no fuss. A member of the family is now using the firm to assist with his own estate planning. So clearly our family had an excellent experience with, and highly recommends, Fratello Law.
B.G.
It was time to update our estate planning documents and I’m very happy we chose Fratello Law. Cheryl Fratello met with my husband and I, carefully listened to our concerns, and clearly explained our options. We later met with Rachel Katz who was conscientious and thorough in completing all our documents. We found the entire staff to be friendly and professional in meeting all our estate planning needs. Thank you!
