This first conversation is informational. We will orient you to your situation, identify the documents or proceedings you need, and explain next steps — no pressure.
Service area
We work with families across Long Island:
- Nassau County — estates filed at the Nassau County Surrogate’s Court, 262 Old Country Road, Mineola, NY 11501. Communities include Great Neck, Manhasset, Garden City, Hempstead, Levittown, and Massapequa.
- Suffolk County — estates filed at the Suffolk County Surrogate’s Court, 320 Center Drive, Riverhead, NY 11901. Communities include Huntington, Smithtown, Islip, Patchogue, and the East End (the Hamptons and North Fork).
The decedent’s county of domicile determines which court applies under SCPA 205-206.
What to expect and what to bring
To make the most of your consultation, gather what is relevant:
- A list of your major assets — home(s), accounts, retirement plans, life insurance, boat, business.
- How each major asset is titled (sole name, joint, beneficiary-designated).
- Any existing documents — current will, trust, power of attorney, or health care proxy.
- For probate matters: the original will, the death certificate, and a list of close relatives (distributees).
- Your goals and concerns — protecting the home, avoiding the estate-tax cliff, providing for a disabled relative, or settling an estate already in progress.

Hours and response
Consultations are scheduled through the Calendly link above. We aim to respond to inquiries within one to two business days. For time-sensitive probate deadlines — for example, a citation return date from the Nassau or Suffolk Surrogate’s Court — note the deadline when you book so we can prioritize.
Getting to the right court
- Nassau filers: the Surrogate’s Court is centrally located in Mineola, near the county courts complex.
- Suffolk filers: the Surrogate’s Court sits in Riverhead, at the eastern end of the county — a real drive for western-Suffolk residents. Both courts accept NYSCEF e-filing, which reduces in-person trips.
