Some years ago, when my mother needed to make some important legal decisions, Ellen Makofsky had come highly recommended and we soon learned why. Ellen’s expertise, compassion, guidance and advice proved to be invaluable to us at a very difficult time. More recently, when my husband and I needed legal guidance and advice with our own wills and rather complicated estate planning, Ellen was clearly our first choice. We had much to consider and Ellen’s professionalism, knowledge, attention to detail, patience, sensitivity and legal expertise afforded us confidence in our decisions and tremendous peace of mind. Her associates and staff were always helpful, personable, courteous and professional, putting us at ease. Ellen’s many professional honors, awards and accolades are certainly well deserved. We are eternally grateful, Ellen!

Let me just say if you were ever putting off getting your affairs in order…. Don’t!!!! Lisa Valente made us feel so comfortable and explained everything in great detail. Learned so much as well. Lisa went above and beyond to be sure we had what was best for our situation explaining all the differences of estate planning, wills, elder care etc. Peace of mind is an understatement!!

We recently worked with Lisa Valenti to update our wills and other important estate planning documents, and we could not be more pleased with the experience. Lisa provided exceptional service and expertise throughout the entire process. She drew on her in-depth knowledge to explain everything clearly and thoughtfully, making sure we fully understood each step. Lisa also raised important considerations that we would not have thought of on our own, ensuring that our documents were as thorough and well-crafted as possible. Beyond her professionalism, she brought a caring and attentive approach that made a potentially overwhelming process feel comfortable and manageable. We are extremely grateful for her guidance and highly recommend her to anyone seeking estate planning services.

Response from owner

I am doing this feedback on behalf of Donna Murphy. Donna has been using Makofsky Valente Law Group for some months now, and she is very satisfied with the services and the professionalism from the entire group and especially Christina Lamm, Esq. Christina was able to come to Donna’s home to help her with all her needs and all heart changes and made it a wonderful experience, very easy to deal with without all the stress that can come with it. I myself can vouch for Donna‘s feedback as I was a part of her transitioning to working with Makofsky Valente Law Group. Christina was an absolute pleasure to work with. We highly recommend this Law Group. We would like to thank them and Christina Lamm, Esq for a truly wonderful experience in hard times. Thank you!

Response from owner
