Our Estate Litigation Client Reviews

I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Antonelli is my go-to colleague for all real estate and trust matters. Over the years I have personally referred several clients to Danny. Each and everyone of them have had very positive comments about both his communication and his ability as an attorney. I will continue to send everyone his way as I know that anyone I send to him will get top notch representation.

My sister and I found ourselves compelled to fight for the rights to our mother's estate, or have those assets unfairly kept from us. Mr. Antonelli was one of the few who listened to our complaints, then acted to protect our legal rights. His team did their due diligence to uncover the facts, statues and laws as related to our situation. Armed with that information Antonelli and Antonelli held their ground and helped us to reverse a great injustice during what was the saddest time of our lives -the unexpected passing of our mother. It would be fair to say that this team has uncommon commitment and integrity to the cause of the cases they handle.

I worked with Erin and Daniel on an estate sale here in the city and they were both great. Excellent communication and knowledge about estates, unlike many attorneys that do not have time for their clients and inundate themselves with too much work. Erin's ethics and tact was above par, especially for Manhattan where I don’t always see that. It was obvious she cared more about making her clients happy and making it to a closing table, than having an ego contest and wasting time. Erin was able to navigate through all of the family issues and multiple other attorneys, who were not easy to deal with, in order to get us through the process smoothly. Every time I called she picked up or returned my message the same day, for 6 months straight. Nothing but professional, will use their office again for sure.

Dan is a well known and respected attorney in the NYC legal community. I recently had the pleasure of recommending Dan to represent my family friend who was dealing with a long, drawn-out, complicated estate matter. Needless to say, Dan was able to concisely corral the issues, and reassure my family friend that the matter would be resolved in her favor. I received a call from my friend yesterday that the case was fully settled, and that she was happy that I recommended Dan. I want to personally thank Dan and his team for helping out in a tough legal situation, and I will not hesitate to utilize his legal skill and knowledge again.

As a beneficiary of a family estate in New York, I had many concerns about how the estate was being administered. I was disadvantaged by distance, as I live in California, and by other factors, which made this situation even more upsetting and difficult to resolve. While researching my situation on my own, I discovered the firm of Antonelli & Antonelli. Daniel Antonelli was very patient when I first consulted him, prior to my becoming a client, asking and answering many questions. He continued to provide excellent service during the case, which we conducted entirely by phone, email and regular mail. At 2000+ miles away, I was confident in and happy with Daniel’s skill, ethics and communication. While we never met in person and I’m sure my case was one of the firm’s smaller ones, Daniel always treated me as a valued client with my best interests as his priority. I highly recommend Daniel Antonelli should you have any questions or concerns regarding an estate.

I learned that my deceased uncle had unclaimed funds, which were being held by The Comptroller's Office. Since I have absolutely no knowledge in the area of probates and estate planning, I had to find an attorney who handles the latter. I contacted several attorneys, who were not willing to take on my case because they considered the amount of funds being held very small and not worth their time! Among all the attorneys I contacted, only one was willing to take on my case, and that was Antonelli & Antonelli. They prepared all the necessary documents that The Comptroller's Office required to release the funds. Thanks to Antonelli & Antonelli, I now have the funds in my possession! When no one was willing to assist me, Antonelli & Antonelli took on my case with expertise. Not only are they very knowledgable in their field, they also have a very courteous staff! I would definitely recommend Antonelli & Antonelli to anyone who requires the services of an attorney who specializes in the field of Litigation, Probate and Estate Planning. My appreciation and thanks to both the Attorneys and Staff at Antonelli & Antonelli, and especially to Intern Jose Oropeza, who worked with me!

I was referred to Dan Antonelli by another estate attorney who held him in high esteem. I found him to be precise in his thinking, careful in his assumptions and thoughtful in his long- and short-term assessments. He concluded that I actually needed a contracts specialist and introduced me to someone who turned out to be equally astute. Dan has an intellectual curiosity and capacity that I would characterize as "old school." Very pleased to make his acquaintance. The office is very well run and competently staffed--a telltale sign.

Antonelli & Antonelli is a Law firm that I will happily recommend. Erin A. Cummings is the lawyer that handled everything for me and she was helpful from the very beginning. She promptly returned my calls and made it possible to handle everything by phone, mail and fax which was very helpful since I am in New Jersey and she is in New York. Erin Cummings helped me through a very difficult time in my life with grace and professionalism. I am very grateful for the way she handled everything and definitely suggest you reach out to her for all your estate and probate needs.
