I recently moved to Florida from Ohio and was looking for a review of my existing trust under Florida law. Rachel was transparent and offered what I "must" update in my trust versus what I "should" update. She let me make the decision based on my budget, and I never felt pressured to overhaul what I had already paid for when I lived in Ohio. Rachel Drude-Tomori is an attorney you can trust. read less

I felt completely stonewalled. Rachel educated me on the information and documentation I was entitled to as a beneficiary. As soon as Rachel came on board, I received everything I should have received from the beginning, and Rachel helped me interpret confusing court documents to actually understand what was going on in my case. I would not have gotten through it without her. read less

I was the nominated successor trustee for my brother's trust, but I had no idea where to start, especially because I live in New York and could not travel to Florida due to the Covid pandemic. I knew from my first call with Rachel that I had chosen the right attorney. She outlined my duties as trustee in very simple steps. She referred me to real estate and accounting professionals who also became part of my team. I guess you could say Rachel was the quarterback. She and her paralegals did all of the heavy lifting so that I could properly say goodbye to my brother. It is amazing to say we completed the bulk of the trust administration in less than six months. read less

Your legal expertise, was to say the least, most welcome during this difficult time. I know there is no way that, no only myself, but my entire family could have navigated this process without your outstanding professionalism and responsiveness throughout this entire process. Also I would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to your paralegal Thomas Kelley. Thomas, in my opinion, did an outstanding job in keeping us not only informed but was awesome at answering our questions when they arose. He was extremely responsive in getting back to us with very informative answers and making sure that we "dotted all the I's and cross the T's" as they say. So once again I want to say Thank You to you and your team at BATTAGLIA, ROSS, DICUS & MCQUAID, P.A.Larry Bilotta read less
