Extremely knowledgeable and thorough are the first words that come to mind. Donna explained each facet of our estate planning in simple language making the process understandable. We will have other family members using Stefan's for their legal and financial planning. Donna and her legal team are wonderful.!

I had an excellent experience with the Stefans Law Group working on estate planning, tax services and Medicaid application. They were very knowledgably and well as open to my questions and concerns, that were promptly addressed. Everyone was polite and kind, making me and my elderly parents feel comfortable. I plan to continue work with them whenever my needs necessitate.

We had both my own family?s estate plan and my mother-in-law?s to plan. Due to a couple of complexities, a team handled our case to get the right people on the job at each step of the process. Each and every person at Stefans gave us their kind and responsive attention. I felt as if we had the whole firm helping us. They have quite a team and I highly recommend them for elder and estate legal needs.

Our family worked with several attorneys to set up a trust and apply for Medicaid for a family member. All of the attorneys responded to our questions and concerns promptly. We also worked with Ann Doyle and we cannot stress how exceptional she is. Ann is knowledgeable, efficient and patient. We highly recommend Ann and the firm.

I recently used Stefan’s Law Group to obtain all the necessary elder care documents for a loved one. Donna and her staff walked me through the entire process and they were in constant contact with me. This is not something the average person does everyday, but they went above and beyond to explain everything and make sure I understood it. Phone calls were always returned in a timely fashion, often followed up with an e-mail if I was not available to answer. Their office is small enough to make you feel like family, yet big enough to take care of everything you need with respect to elder care. I appreciate their professionalism and highly recommend them.

In 2020 my 92 year Uncle was hospitalized, followed by a period of rehabilitation & then entered an assisted living facility. He is a widower & has no children. My father, his 89 year old brother could not take care of his affairs. My Uncle has assets that needed to be protected. I knew I needed help. After speaking to numerous elder attorney law firms I set up a meeting with Stefans Law Group. The best decision I could have made. I met with attorneys Donna Stefans & Karen Muir. We thoroughly discussed my Uncle's situation & a plan was developed to protect not only my Uncle's assets, but our family assets as well. All necessary legal documents were prepared or updated, & a financial plan was put in place, monitored by Tom Brucia, CFP. Ann Doyle, Medicaid Liaison prepared the necessary medicaid paperwork. Communication is key & the folks at Stefans Law Group are always available & keep you advised & updated at every step. My family & I are truly grateful to the Stefans Law Group for their continued service & assistance with our families legal needs.

In a word . . . trust. We trust the team at Stefans Law Group, and they earn that trust year after year. We primarily work with the team on our tax filings. We used to go in person every year as we lived close by. We have since moved to CT but continue to work with them online and over the phone. While we miss seeing our friends at the Stefans Law Group in person, the process online and over the phone has been seamless, convenient, and their service is outstanding. This year we filed a bit late close to the deadline and they turned the work around in a flash. Thank you, Marilyn, Henry, Donna, and Mary Lou, as always!

As a Certified Financial Planner and advisor I often find need to team up with other professionals such as Attorneys and CPA’s etc. I became acquainted with Donna Stefans of Stafans Law Group from Woodbury, NY in 2005. Over the years we have not only worked on dozens of cases covering a wide spectrum of client needs including Estate planning, Special Needs planning, Business succession planning, ERISA employee retirement benefit plans, Insurance planning, real estate transactions and many more. By teaming up we up we have been able to bring the best practices of client advocacy to every case we work on. We have also enjoyed numerous speaking engagements representing both the financial and legal issues that impact so many families effected by special needs situations. Honesty, reliability and integrity are traits that any of Donna Stefans clients can depend and rely on. I’m proud to enjoy our professional relationship and personal friendship.

Best experience I've ever had with a law firm. Three years ago I unexpectedly had to apply for Medicaid for my dad. Stefans Law Group came as a recommendation and they put everything in to place, were on top of their game, and gave me great guidance with a compassionate attitude on top of it all. They certainly know their stuff and were the calming voice that helped me navigate the crazy storm that is Medicaid. Additionally, they supplied recommendations for a Home care agency, an advocate for Medicaid assessment, and a real estate attorney, all of whom were fantastic connections. My husband and I have also used their tax services for the past 3 years for ourselves—we've worked with Henry and Marilyn who were both exceptional. They are the full package and I highly recommend!

I have had the most professional rewarding relationship with them over the years and recommended them to friends, who have been equally pleased. They are more than professionals they are always a friendly face to help you out when in need. Every time you go into the office you were always personally greeted by Marilyn and Donna Stefans.
