“DeFio Law Firm handled the closing of my mother’s home. I cannot say enough about the professionalism and efficiency in working with Ann Marie Palen of the firm. Her timely attention to detail and the ease at which she made the process so effortless made the undertaking beyond manageable. I can’t say enough about the wonderful quality of work she did for us, and always with a smile. Thank you again!”

“We recently had Dan draw up a new will for us. Since we did this during the pandemic, we couldn’t meet in his office but rather did it all by email and zoom. He made everything so easy and guided us through all the paperwork. He made sure we understood what we were signing. We would highly recommend him for your estate planning.”
