76 years ago today, the greatest military invasion in history took place- when Allied Forces stormed the Normandy coast by air and sea; to establish a foothold in Hitler’s Europe. In less than a year, those forces were able to eradicate and destroy the most evil regime in human history. This is American Exceptionalism- this is who we are as a nation. In Lincoln’s 1863 Gettysburg Address he said Americans have a duty to ensure government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall never perish from the earth. Today we remember the sacrifice of all those who fought to take the Normandy beach head and for those who fought to protect this very ideal.

Law Day is a celebration of the Rule of Law. As a former Director of the Richmond County Bar Association, I served on the Law Day Committee. I fondly recall... working with the great members of the committee to put together a great day for Judges, Attorneys, and most especially Students from local Staten Island schools. The students would participate in essay writing, and would get a tour of the Courthouse. A great day for all, and a proud day for our legal community. This is an article I wrote, that was published in the New York Law Journal, back when I was a Director of the Richmond County Bar Association in 2015. It was quite an honor to be published next to some highly respected members of the legal community, members of the bench and the bar; in the New York Law Journal. This was a truly memorable and humbling experience for me as a member of the bar. Later on when I served as a State Assemblymember- I had the distinct honor of procuring a Proclamation to recognize the lifetime achievements of a dear friend, the late Paul F. Scano, Esq., which was presented to him at a Law Day ceremony. Law Day will always be very special to me. See more

I know you keep putting it off... I know you don’t want to think about it... a Last Will and Testament- wouldn’t it be better just to get it done? Peace of mind and security for your loved ones. Give me a call to come in for a consultation. 718-701-3100. I can help you figure it all out and walk you through the process. Do it for your spouse, do it for your children, do it for you. I’m here to help.

Do you have a loved one with Special Needs? - a term used in clinical diagnostic and functional development to describe individuals who require assistance for disabilities that may be medical, mental, or psychological. Do you worry about your loved ones financial affairs? What will happen when you are no longer able to care for them? What will happen to your assets? Will the government take the funds? Have you ever wondered how you can protect assets and make sure that the...y are designated for the needs of your loved one with special needs, without sacricifing benefits? I can help. When considering your family need for a Special Needs Trust and/or ABLE account, call my office at 718-701-3100 to talk about the suitability of these savings tools for your loved one's needs. An ABLE account is not an ideal vehicle to manage significant third party funds due to the likelihood of a Medicaid payback claim upon the death of the beneficiary, unless there is also the strong likelihood that all third party funds contributed will in fact be spent before the beneficiary dies. For most individuals with disabilities, an ABLE account is not a substitute for comprehensive SNT planning, but it may be a helpful secondary tool to help secure their financial futures. As an Assemblyman, I was dedicated to helping our Special Needs Community here on Staten Island. I continue to be committed to helping families with these particular needs as an attorney in private practice. I have been recognized by Volunteers of America for my work, and I am now happy to include this as one of my practice areas. Feel free to call and set up an appointment so that we can discuss these matters. The only way to rid yourself of worry, is to take action. Let me help you make a plan, so you can get back to living.

Have you ever considered what will happen to the posts you made on Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, and other social media after your death? Do you want the accounts deleted? Do you want them memorialized? What happens to these digital assets when you die? Who will be in charge? I can help you express your wishes and help you create a digital legacy of your choice. Call my office for a consultation 718-701-3100. New York enacted a law in 2016, which may be helpful in deali...ng with your digital life after your death. This law allows executors and other representatives to deal with someone’s digital assets upon death. Prior to the new law, digital service providers (ex. Facebook, Google) frequently refused to grant access to a decedent’s accounts, relying on federal privacy laws. Now, a user may direct the disclosure of some or all of the user’s digital assets, including the content of electronic communications. If there is no directive set forth in an online tool, then the user may direct disclosure by will or another instrument. There is a legal distinction between the disclosure of digital assets versus the disclosure of the content of electronic communications. I can guarantee you that you will feel a sense of relief, and peace of mind, once you have an Estate Plan in place. I am happy to help you in achieving this goal. See more
