Skilled Attorneys Here for You

Everyone needs a lawyer’s guidance at some point. Some people are proactive about estate planning and other essential legal matters. Others reach out to attorneys when they encounter unexpected problems, such as a car accident. In all cases, high-quality legal counsel should bring value to people’s lives, help families preserve assets and create a greater sense of security.

At Futterman Lanza, LLP, we welcome opportunities to help New York residents resolve both the more straightforward as well as complex legal issues. Attorney Ronald Lanza is also credentialed in Florida, a key asset for our “snow bird” clients.

We Are Your Lawyers for Life

Despite our size, we offer service and solutions tailored specifically to a client’s needs.

We anticipate disputes between beneficiaries and assure that your heirs will not be burdened with unnecessary financial conflicts after your death. However, we also provide experienced estate litigation representation when it becomes necessary.

When clients come to us in a crisis due to a sudden onset of illness, we offer foolproof strategies to eliminate or minimize taxes and/or health care costs. Medicaid Planning can protect the assets that your family has worked so hard to accumulate, whether you need nursing home assistance or assistance in your home.

Accidental Injuries

A car accident, a trip and fall, a pedestrian or bicycle accident, or any other accident involving personal injury (injury to the body) can change a client’s life. Our personal injury department eases the burden from our clients’ shoulders allowing them to concentrate on healing. Through well-executed injury claims and litigation, we work to get our clients the compensation they deserve.

Real Estate Transactions

Our real estate department guides clients through purchase, sale, and lease contracts, signings, and closings. When a home or business property is part of an estate, we help clients navigate the proper sequence of events for probate or trust administration.

Guardianships

Caring for family members or close friends can involve legal options such as establishing a guardianship and then carrying out the related duties correctly. We are skilled at both the technical and human aspects of the necessary arrangements and processes.

Florida “Snowbird” Clients

This is primarily for our New York clients who spend a majority of the winter in Florida or have a second home in Florida. There are tax and other issues that arise as estate planning is initiated and questions that occur later in the process. There are times an attorney credentialed in both states can be invaluable.

Bring Your Concerns to Our Attention

We bring creative, compassionate, and comprehensive solutions to your legal needs. We are here to help you strategize your next best move forward for now and the future.

We offer Flat-Fee billing for most of our client’s cases. We believe you should be focusing on your family’s future, not the clock. That’s why we operate on a transparent flat fee basis. Find out more about our flat fee billing during your free first time consultation.
