My parents entrusted their estate planning needs to Enea, Scanlan & Sirignano. A strategy involving trusts for grandchildren and for each other was designed and implemented five years ago. The objectives were to manage estate taxes and to efficiently transfer their estate to heirs upon their passing. My parents had the benefit of having Anthony Enea, managing partner with over 40 years of Elder Law experience, handle their needs. He is and has been the top of his field for forty years. He provided excellent guidance to my parents designing and executing their estate strategy.

My father recently passed and as Executor and Trustee of the estate, I have had excellent support by the team at Enea, Scanlan & Sirignano. Lauren Enea took the lead on my behalf as we implemented the strategy put in place by Anthony Enea, with additional support from Alyssa Calabrese. I cannot say enough about their level of knowledge, support, responsiveness, and professionalism navigating through the passing of my father and the ongoing support of my mother and my family. In trying times, they provided stewardship that was unparalleled.

I highly recommend Enea, Scanlan & Sirignano for your family estate planning needs. My experience with Lauren has been nothing short of excellent. She explains things clearly. She is available, responsive, and compassionate. I will continue to use her to navigate the management of my mother’s estate. I have suggested the same without reservation to my friends and family.

My wife and I recently reviewed our situation and completely updated our estate planning documents. Anthony Enea and his staff had the answers to all our questions and advised on points of trust and estate law that we were not aware of. Furthermore, we prepared detailed healthcare proxies and orders so that in the event of a medical emergency or issue, we know that what we want done has been made clear. We are much more comfortable now knowing that our wishes have been legally set forth in the manner suits our objectives. The process was very easy as Mr. Enea and his staff are experts in this area of the law and know what to look for even when we don’t. Once the documents were sent to us for review, it was obvious that we had made a good choice. Our older documents were out of line with the law and, if left in force, could potentially cause a problem for our family in the future. Closing the door to someone challenging our intentions in court has now been accomplished.

We are pleased to recommend Mr. Enea and his firm to others looking to uncomplicated their wishes in a very complicated segment of the law.

I am grateful for all the great help that Lauren Enea and her team have provided me with. During my internet search on estate planning, I saw a mention of Anthony Enea in an article, found it impressive, and did further search to find his contact information. I am glad that I selected this firm after having met with two other firms.

Lauren Enea’s help to me has been very professional and competent. I found her to be very responsive, listen carefully, and patiently answer lots of questions. But I am sure, many lawyers would be like that. What separates her from others is the underlying layer of her caring. That makes her a unique and special lawyer.

I am confident that my daughter is in good hands when I pass, and she needs to make the call to her for the next steps. I rest easy knowing this.

My experience with this elder care law firm was excellent – and I can be judgmental and selective. Anthony Enea directed me through estate planning, which, complex as it was, Mr. Enea made easy and comprehensible. He was so familiar with the process that if he didn’t think of something to include it didn’t exist or wasn’t relevant for my needs.

I also needed to engage in legal guardianship proceedings. Sara Meyers guided me through this multi layered process, involving home visits, interviews, court proceedings and additional novel interactions for me. The court orders can and may lead to a large amount of paperwork such as contacting federal agencies, as well as many ad hominem asset movements. Ms. Meyers was not only intellectually quick and knowledgeable but also compassionate. She had patience with questions asked repeatedly in different ways and understood and was receptive to any emotions inevitably arising within this process. I also appreciated her assistant, Darrell Delancey, who, along with Ms. Meyers fielded post hoc questions that came up for me after they had completed their work officially. They went above and beyond and I strongly recommend the firm to family and friends and anyone needing these services.

– Shelly G.

We decided to retain the services of Lauren Enea, for estate planning, after hearing her speak at at an event. We had a very good experience. Lauren is very patient and understanding. Our situation was a bit complicated, but she was constantly thinking about the best way to accomplish our goals and she did. Responses to emails and phone calls are made promptly. The support staff are very friendly and helpful. Estate planning was, at times, a difficult process for us but Lauren was very aware of that and guided us through in a comforting manner. Set up an appointment with Lauren and I think you will agree!

I have worked with this firm for over five years for a variety of services for myself and other family members, including estate planning, Medicaid planning, Medicaid applications, estate administration, and a real estate transaction. I have worked with several different attorneys (Lauren Enea, Stella King, Sara E. Meyers), as well as paralegals, and each and every individual (including the receptionists), were professional, responsive and compassionate, especially with particularly difficult circumstances. The pandemic presented additional challenges, and they never skipped a beat or dropped a ball in taking care of business.

Although they have probably done this hundreds, if not thousands of times, they clearly understood that was my first experience with many of these situations and they were always ready and willing to explain and re-explain in a patient and respectful manner. I can honestly say that there wasn’t one instance over the years when they didn’t get back to my emails or phone calls in a timely fashion, which is quite extraordinary for any business.

The wide range of services they offer make for one-stop shopping, which gave me the feeling of being in a family practice where I knew them and they knew me. In addition, their legal fees were reasonable and very transparent, and I never felt that they were trying to drive up the bills. And when needed, they provided referrals to other qualified professionals.

Words cannot adequately express how much this firm, Michael Enea and Robert Arbuco have done for myself and my family. Eldercare planning is a whirlwind of information and it can be very confusing and overwhelming but since I began working with Michael and Robert it has been nothing but smooth sailing. I HIGHLY recommend getting in touch if you or your family need assistance with eldercare planning, estate planning or Medicaid.

Sara Meyers provided caring expertise to helping us navigate the Medicaid nursing home process. Her knowledge and insight into elder care and estate planning was crucial for our family. I highly recommend her and Enea, Scanlan, & Sirignano LLP.

Sara E. Meyers, Esq., masterfully represented my family in a deeply emotional and complex case. The matter involved removing an elderly family member from their guardianship role due to their inability to fulfill responsibilities for another elderly family member with a traumatic brain injury, requiring round-the-clock care and unable to advocate for themselves.

Sara Meyers’ expertise in guardianship law, special needs planning, and long-term care strategies was evident throughout. Her knowledge and experience were crucial in navigating the intricate details of our case.

The court ruled in our favor for the removal and replacement of the guardian, appointment of a geriatric care manager, replacement of the court examiner, and reimbursement of expenses. We are profoundly grateful to Sara Meyers for her unwavering support and exceptional legal guidance.

We cannot thank her enough.

Stella King assisted our family with a Medicaid application and complex irrevocable trust to help our aging mother receive the assistance she requires in daily life. Stella was attentive, responsive, and most of all warm and caring throughout the process. She answered the dozens of questions my sisters and I had, always promptly, and in a manner that gave us confidence we would successfully complete the process and get our mom on Medicaid–which we did. We are enormously grateful for her guidance, warmth, and compassion over many months and could not recommend her more highly. THANK YOU STELLA!

I have nothing but great things to say about the team at Enea, Scanlan & Sirignano! My parents had a very complicated and detailed case with their estate and this group was incredible, handling the issues, and walking us through all the steps. I must single out one of their top attorneys, Stella King. She worked so hard for us to make sure we were at ease with the entire process and gave us 100%. I am so grateful to Stella, and the entire team for there guidance and support for my family. I would recommend this group to anyone who needs estate planning.
