Dear Mr. Morello and Mr. Fekaris,

We started many years ago with the Morello Law Group and Jerry Morello doing our trusts, estate planning and business ventures. You sat there patiently and let Dave reminisce his many life experiences. I assure you our family did not listen as patiently as you did; they only rolled their eyes and said “there he goes again.” You seemed to know just what to say when advising him on what to do and what not to do. He listened to your advice as we well know most of the time!! He liked the way you treated us and I’m sure you treat most of your clients as family. You and your staff were always there for us and if we had a question, you or your staff had an answer for us or went and found the answer we needed.

Well it’s been three years since Dave’s death. He always said “when something happens to me, call Jerry Morello,” and I did. That’s when my three year journey began with the help of Morello Law Group. On the day of Dave’s visitation, I turned around and Jerry was standing next to me. What a pleasant surprise. He took the time to drive sixty miles to pay his respects to Dave and our family. That’s what is so special about this law firm. Jerry, that’s why Dave respected you so much and thought the world of you. After Dave’s death and the many legal problems that loomed over me, like I said, Dave didn’t always take good advice. Jerry introduced me to George Fekaris, feeling I needed his expertise with upcoming matters. He was right. George has comfortably taken me through many difficult legal challenges. The many personal decisions, court appearances and trust changes were all made easier because of your caring concern and help. I always felt whatever the outcomes were, good or bad, they would be easier to accept because of your hard work and keeping me well informed of their progress. I always felt your genuine concern for me. Again, as your clients must feel.

It’s hard to know where to begin thanking you for all that you have done for me. I only wish Dave could have known you George. He would have really liked your work ethics and personality. He was a very tough guy but a very gentle giant with a big heart.

Again, thank you so much for all your kindness, concern and generosity. I’m sure there will be a time in the future that I will need your help again. Hopefully not too soon. So until then, life has been good.

Sincerely,

Bridget

Arriving at the attorney’s office, Bev and I walked toward the door and a construction worker opened the door for us and greeted us warmly.

The scene within the room we entered reflected the kind of chaos one sees in rooms that are undergoing significant renovation. Yet, with my life being in a state of indescribable disruption, the out-of-control atmosphere of this anteroom was strangely comforting.

And the chaos of that room , rather than being disruptive made me feel even somewhat comforted in that it seemed to be saying to me, “It’s not your life alone that is in a state of confusion.”

We then made our way into the attorney’s office area – a world apart – one in which the message was: “You’re safe now.” I was given a cup of coffee, which tasted great.

This was followed by the main event as we met Keith who guided us through the protections available to us at this critical point in our lives. As I sat there between the different parts of our session, I carefully studied the architecturally rich environment in which we found ourselves. It was impossible to successfully absorb it’s richness – the aged tan bricks with their stark black crevices separating them one from another.

Our activities in that room were rapid-paced but thorough just the same and they left me with the conviction that we had come to the right place and to the right person, someone who convinced me that he cared ..
