My lawyer Jennifer Raguso has been extremely helpful with up to date info as needed. She is receptive to phone calls and works from her heart, not her pocket

After being struck by a car and suffering serious injuries to my shoulder I was in need of a personal injury attorney. I was fortunate enough to be represented by Barrie Bazarsky and her very helpful paralegal Diane. Barrie is a very patient and caring person and without her advice and perseverance I wouldn?t have received the settlement that I deserved. I highly recommend Barrie if you ever need a personal injury attorney.

My wife and I have relied on Mr.Lanza to guide and provide us with our wills and other documents relating to our estate since 2009. He also provided us with guidance and referals for other legal matters on many occasions. His professionalism, knowledge and empathy has made him our "go to guy" for any legal question we have had. We have recommended him to any friend who has had a legal problem.

I worked on my father's estate matter with Jaclyn Kramer. She was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. The firm also assisted me with a Medicaid application for my father and a closing on my father's condo. In each case, I felt that the process was handled with extreme professionalism. I would not hesitate to use them again.

It was a pleasure working with the firm Futterman, Lanza and Pasculli, LLP. Barrie Bazarsky, a Senior Associate at the firm, handled my slip and fall accident with great knowledge, experience, and professionalism. She is a dedicated personal injury attorney who paid close attention to every detail in my case. Her legal assistant, Diane was excellent too whenever I needed help from her. Barrie kept in touch with me on a regular basis to update me on what was going on. She was reachable immediately or within minutes when I called the office. She was extremely thorough in making sure that she obtained all information from my doctors as well as forensic experts. Her experience in her field showed in every aspect of my case as she compiled the information needed in case we went to trial. Fortunately, Barrie was able to engage in mediation and settle my case without going to trial. She worked aggressively during mediation to obtain as much compensation for my knee injury as possible. I was very pleased with the outcome. Above all, Barrie is a caring and compassionate person who truly listens to you as she helps you navigate through the whole process from beginning to end. I recommend Barrie Bazarsky to anyone who needs an experienced personal injury attorney.

My family has been a client of this firm since 2015, for my Dad, my Mom, my Mother-in-law and several friends and families we have referred.

Due to a slip and fall, I suffered a wrist fracture. A co-worker recommended Barrie Bazarsky to me advising that she has 30 years of PI experience and gets results. She?s professional and I received straight-forward sound legal advice. She kept me informed every step of the way from start to finish, was always available to speak with me. She did a great job and I?m very satisfied with the results. I highly recommend Barrie to anyone who needs a very attentive, dedicated and friendly personal injury attorney.

I wanted to update my estate planning and Ron Lanza at this firm was recommended by my financial advisor. He spent many hours with me planning and reviewing my documents. Ron helped me set up an Irrevocable Trust with my sons and spent more time explaining everything to them at the signing. Ron and his staff were always professional, courteous and friendly. I was extremely pleased with the entire experience.

I first met Ron Lanza over 5 years ago when he gave me life changing legal advice during my free consult. When the need arose to have my estate plan revised, he was the only attorney I called. Ron is professional, personable, and patient, and explains every step of the estate planning procedure. I have already recommended his services to some friends who are exploring the estate planning process.

I would highly recommend Aaron Futterman of Futterman Lanza and Pasculli. He is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He recently drew up a Will, Health Care Proxy, Power of Attorney, and Trust. During the process I had numerous questions , and with his help I was able to make informed decisions. He took the time to define terminology and explain what needed to be done.He was always very receptive, patient, and understanding.

The professionalism that I experienced from your firm was exemplary. I contacted Ron Lanza to discuss my mom's need to apply for medicaid. His expertise was commendable. He directed me to speak with Nancy Hilker, an absolute gem. All my concerns were addressed and in the end I was able to successfully receive the services needed for mom. Without reservation, I highly recommend the use of Futterman, Lanza, Pasculli, LLP. There was never a moment where my concerns were not respected. Ron and Nancy helped make a very difficult situation in my life very easy to navigate. Thank you.

Our family is so appreciative of the comprehensive guidance and the efforts that Felicia Pasculli and her Bayshore Team gave us to assist in our parents estate planning and medical care. They helped us review a variety of options for our parents different needs, guided us through the process, and helped us gather all the necessary information required. Each of them made an overwhelming time in our family feel like we made the best decisions with their comforting expertise. At this time in your life, you can feel like all the choices are less than optimal, but the guidance they provided gave a peace of mind to the whole family.

When our mom relocated to Florida, we contacted a Florida attorney to have the appropriate legal documents in place. However, over the years her health met with assorted challenges. A bout of protracted health issues transpired and the decision was made to return her to New York. We soon realized that Florida estate planning documents may not be easily utilized in New York State. It became abundantly clear that New York documents were necessary. Through an excellent referral, we met with Aaron Futterman, Esq of Futterman, Lanza and Pasculli. The firm being dually admitted in New York and Florida was more than capable to bridge the two states and assist our mom and family. A short time frame for completion was evident to get the documents finalized. Mr. Futterman was professional, knowledgeable, approachable and accessible to answer all our concerns and questions. His years of experience and ability to dissect, analyze and find resolution to complex matters proved to be an added benefit. At one time, our mom was unable to visit him at his office and he actually met her at her residence. Mr. Futterman?s calming, assuring demeanor with a splash of humor was comforting to my elderly mom. Having dealt with other attorneys, we can absolutely state that Mr. Futterman is an exemplary attorney. The staff at Futterman, Lanza and Pasculli were all equally accommodating. We are so glad to have met and worked with him and will absolutely continue to do so as the need arises.

As someone who serves the senior community of New York and Long Island, when it comes to Medicare planning for my clients, I need an Elder Care Attorney who is not only knowledgeable, but is current with New York Medicaid Laws. Aaron Futterman is that person. He is extremely helpful and always goes above and beyond to help solve issues for my clients. Aaron Futterman gets the job done and he does it well, as many of his clients (and mine!) will attest. Thank you for being there, Aaron!

Jen Raguso was great. She helped us understand what we needed to do to make sure our future and that of our children would be well taken care of. She walked us through the process and made everything much easier than expected. A great relief to have this done. Thank you to Jen and to your capable colleague Sara Myer.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level
- Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?

Credentials
- How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?

Cost
- How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?

City
- Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
