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

Dear Mr. Morello,

I would like to thank you for being so patient and understanding when working with my brother, Stan. Thank you for coming to our home twice; answering all his questions; and guiding him through the process of estate planning etc. This was an accomplishment I never thought I would witness.

Your kindness, trust, warmth and professionalism spoke volumes. Your staff, working with him to provide additional information, were exemplary.

What you accomplished in two one-on-one meetings was amazing. Thank you for all you did, have done and continue to do for us. We appreciate it!

Sincerely,
Diane B.

Dear Jerry,
Thank you for the excellent preparation of our estate plan. You and your staff were very professional and provided exceptional detail throughout the plan.

As a Ph.D. mathematician and retired corporate strategic planning executive, I have been trained to look for detail. I was skeptical that any law firm could develop a strong estate plan without taking an exorbitant amount of time in going through several drafts. Much to my surprise, your firm exceeded my expectations. Even when one of my requests required action beyond the normal process, your staff was flexible and expedient in finding a solution. My plan was thorough and customized in a reasonable amount of time. This included a quality control period which ensured that all information was covered.

Job well done!!! My wife and I will definitely recommend your firm to our family and friends.

Ed and Nancy

Dear Jerry,

Many thanks for your thorough and professional approach to the review of Betty and my Wills and Estate Plans. We are extremely pleased that Nick had developed a working relationship with you and could recommend you to us.

Your work is now the largest document on my book shelf. I had no idea that Betty or I were worth that much effort. Seriously, thank you for that effort. Drawing up these kinds of final arrangements correctly can make so much difference in the lives of one’s survivors. Betty and I truly appreciate the caliber of your work.

Thank You Again!
