New Britain, CT
We worked with Scalise on setting up a will for us and needed one in fairly short order. The firm was very responsive and available for us, and they walked us through the process step by step, answering any and all questions we had. Definitely recommend, and we'd definitely work with them again.
We are happy that we were able to get this done for you quickly and professionally. We pride ourselves and cutting through the "legalese" and explain complicated legal documents in terms that you can understand. We are here for you, now and in the future.
I have been working with ESM for quite some time settling my aunt’s estate and selling her house. Attorney Scalise, Mary and Stacie have been phenomenal in explaining everything to me every step of the way. I can’t recommend the firm enough.
Thank you for this review and thank you for allowing us to assist you during this difficult time.
We searched for a top-rated elder care attorney in CT and Attorney Robert Scalise's name came up. We contacted him on an urgent basis on 12/29/2025 and he agreed to meet with us at 2 PM on 12/30/2025. Please note this was the holiday season. My husband's brother was a ward of the state who lived in a group Home in CT and suffered from end-of-life care for multiple myeloma and plasma leukemia. He was given less than 60 days to live. His brother was moved from a hospital to a new facility. That facility tried to discharge him 5 days later. Attorney Scalise agreed to represent my husband and his brother allowing him to remain in the facility where he was placed. He passed away on 1/5/2026. We will be forever grateful for his representation and help. We were simply blessed to have the representation of Attorney Robert Scalise Jr. Because of his representation my brother-in-law did not have to endure an unsafe discharge and a third move. We are forever grateful. Attorney Scalise is the best.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience and for your kind words. It was truly an honor to assist your family during such a difficult and emotional time, especially given the urgency and circumstances surrounding your brother-in-law’s care.<br><br>Ensuring dignity, safety, and continuity of care at the end of life is critically important, and I’m grateful that I was able to help prevent an unsafe discharge and additional hardship for your family. Please accept my deepest condolences on your loss.<br><br>Your trust means more than you know, and I sincerely appreciate you allowing me to advocate for your family when it mattered most. Wishing you comfort and peace as you reflect on your brother-in-law’s life. He was fortunate to have the two of you as his advocates.<br><br>With gratitude,<br>Robert Scalise
I recently sold a home in the area and had Attorney Scalise’s office help close the transaction. Paralegal Mary Schmitt was absolutely outstanding in ensuring all closing documents were timely prepared, reviewed, signed and executed. Mary very efficiently handled all these details in the utmost professional manner therefore making the process go smoothly. I highly recommend their services!

I have had another wonderful experience working with Bob Scalise and Mary Schmitt on a real estate transaction with my sister. We had a very tight timeframe and Bob and Mary went out of their way to make it happen for us. If not for them, we would have lost this house and we are so grateful. I cannot say enough about the consistent commitment to clients, integrity, and intelligence from these wonderful and highly talented individuals. 5 stars isn’t enough…

This law firm has represented my family for 2 generations. Robert Scalise is always professional, thoughtful & has acted in our best interests. His advice has proved steady & invaluable. I highly recommend ES&M to anyone in need of the exemplary services they provide.
Thank you for your thoughtful review. We do our best to take the time to listen to our clients and help them make the best decisions for their future.
I was referred to the Scalise Law Firm for estate planning by a friend who had had a very positive experience. So did I. In addition to being knowledgable, Mr Scalise and his staff possess outstanding interpersonal skills. Having arrived for my initial consultation a bit less organized than usual, Mr Scalise was kind, patient and understanding. In addition, having previously worked as a paralegal, I was impressed by Bailey’s knowledge, organizational and communication skills, to include an impressive attention to detail. She even came to the office on her day off to act as witness for the Will signing. I recommend this firm very highly.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! I’m so glad to hear that you had a positive experience with both myself and Bailey. We always aim to make the estate planning process as smooth and understanding as possible, and I’m pleased to know that you felt supported and well-informed. Your recommendation means a great deal to us. If there’s anything else we can assist with in the future, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We're always here to help!
Attorney Scalise is very knowledgeable and personable. He always takes the time to listen to our thoughts and concerns and provide easy to understand feedback. We will continue to utilize his services.

I have a had and continue to have very positive and attentive interaction with everyone I have had the pleasure of dealing with. I am still in the process of settling an estate with them but dont know how I would have gotten this far without their assistance. Attorney Mangan and Mary Schiff have been wonderful to deal with. Highly recommend this practice
