Mark Rosman, an attorney who practiced in New York City from 1976 to 2022, shares his experience working with Antonelli & Antonelli during a complex estate dispute. His case began in 2014 when a client who had passed away left him an apartment on the Upper East Side as a thank you gesture after he handled her will, which designated everything to a well-known charitable institution in New York.
After being admitted to probate, the charity claimed that Mark had defrauded his client and sought to obtain the apartment for themselves. Facing this serious allegation, Mark contacted the legal referral service of the bar association and specifically requested "a really smart, capable estate attorney." They recommended Dan Antonelli.
Comprehensive Legal Support
From the moment Dan Antonelli took over the case, Mark's problems were resolved. He no longer had to deal with threats, annoyances, or insults from the opposing party. Dan successfully negotiated the settlement that Mark and his team had originally worked out, demonstrating his expertise in estate litigation.
Exceptional Client Service
Mark emphasizes several key qualities that set Antonelli & Antonelli apart from other law firms. The firm operates with remarkable speed and efficiency, ensuring clients never feel neglected or delayed. They are exceptionally prompt in returning phone calls and excel at explaining complex legal matters in language that clients can easily understand.
Mark never felt the need to chase after his attorneys for updates or information. Instead, Dan Antonelli provided clear guidance by saying, "This is what I think. This is what I think you should do," allowing Mark to simply respond with "Please" and trust that the right actions would be taken.
Professional Excellence and Results
Throughout his extensive legal career, Mark states that he never had an attorney who behaved as professionally and produced the results that Antonelli & Antonelli delivered. Dan Antonelli is described as "a very fine person" who is friendly, provides excellent legal advice and practical guidance, and respects client autonomy by offering choices rather than trying to control their decisions.
Mark has recommended Dan Antonelli to numerous people, including family members, demonstrating his complete confidence in the firm's capabilities. For anyone facing probate challenges or estate disputes, Mark's experience illustrates why Antonelli & Antonelli is a trusted choice for legal representation in New York.
