"Kelly was amazing!"
We hired Kelly for a step-parent adoption and we are very happy with her work and the work of her Paralegal, Deb, at Scaringi Law. They were both extremely nice and extremely helpful. She listed to exactly what we needed and got the job done efficiently and without blemish, even in the midst of COVID-19. We are very grateful for her!

"In all of these endeavors they acted capably and professionally providing timely and expert counsel."
Our family has used Melanie Scaringi and her law firm associates for several years in estate planning, elder care recommendations and in preparation of wills, living wills and powers of attorney. Scaringi Law handled all of the estate accounting and legal requirements when I served as executor for my deceased Mother-in-Law. In all of these endeavors they acted capably and professionally providing timely and expert counsel for the required actions. We met regularly in person and communicated by phone and email. In even the most complex issues they never once made me feel stupid! Particularly noteworthy is the firms experience in dealing directly with the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue and the Office of the Attorney General. The estate was handled successfully in a timely manner and at a reasonable cost. I will continue to use the firm and recommend them to anyone. Best regards
