Client Comments

Hear what clients have to say about  Littman Krooks

We came to Littman Krooks about a guardianship for our daughter, and we had an excellent experience.  They were responsive, clear, and everything went better than we had expected.  We’ve been more than happy with their work and wholeheartedly recommend them.

Terry, I really enjoyed this (special needs professional) workshop. It feels good when you are around people who really care about the kids. Keep up the good work for those of us who are out there trying to make a difference in our schools and community. Thanks again for all the wonderful work that you, Adrienne, and the Littman Krooks firm are doing for children with special needs.

Adrienne, thank you so much for all the guidance and help you and your team provided throughout our guardianship process.  Terry was a great nudger.  Her friendly reminders were so timely and necessary to keep us on track.

Ms. Arkontaky, Thank you very much for speaking to a small group of parents about planning for the future at Mental Health Association in Orange County. I learned a lot that evening and know that the parents did also. It was a pleasure to sit a bit more informally and discuss the issues that are important to families who have children with developmental disabilities. I know it is a long trip for you but the session was of tremendous value for the parents. It takes many times of hearing about the planning tools for it to make sense for some people. Thank you for your continued support of individuals with developmental disabilities.
A.K., Orange County

Adrienne, I would like to say that I am so grateful to have such a wonderful team like yourself and your support staff who work so hard on behalf of my daughter. This process has been very hard for me and you guys fight for what matters and that’s my daughter. Thanks Adrienne, the work you and your staff do is priceless.
Q.S.

Margaret, you are caring and compassionate and a force to be reckoned with. I respect the woman you are and you have given me lots of hope. I’m forever grateful for your hard work and dedication.
Mrs. S

Adrienne and Margaret, I just want to say thank you very much for all yours and Margaret’s help in this process. We also got the issue with daycare settled. Our medical is paying for extra care and to transport. I know without your help we would never have gotten all that therapy and services. Thanks again
Mr. J.S.

Adrienne, on behalf of our SEPTA, we would like to thank you for attending our Colleges With A Difference Fair in October, 2008 and for preparing such an informative presentation for our membership. Providing our parents with such valuable information regarding transition planning, as well as clarifying the legal ramifications will greatly help our parents to effectively advocate for their children.

Margaret, Thank you for all of your hard work and support.

Terry, Christine and I would like to thank you and Adrienne for coming to our support group and sharing your knowledge with us. It is very important as parents for us to have people like yourselves willing to share your experiences to empower us. Thank you again and we look forward to having you come speak with us again.

I want you to attend all CSE meetings for Amanda to represent her interests. It’s a start and hopefully this helps her to move forward. Please continue all your good work.

I must tell you the wonderful consultation I had arranged through the Bar Association with Ms. Elizabeth Valentin. She was so very clear, precise and professional that I was able to explore options and gain some hope for a difficult case. I have told everyone how superb your firm is. One feels good right from the first phone call. I will be in touch with Ms. Valentin about next steps.
Carol K.

Before I became an old fogie, I was in the business of designing annual reports, book jackets and trade shows, but it was not long before I discovered that what I really was selling was my ability to give my clients peace of mind — not merely my talent as a designer. You did that for me on 03/19/07, at two in the afternoon, and I am grateful as I can be.
Sam

Once again your firm has helped my mom secure an environment which is safe and tends to her needs. Through Ely and staff the impossible was done. Family issues were resolved between my brother and me for the future safety and care of my mom. This was not an easy task for Ely as my brother and I have had a history of battles which have increased since my dad died in 1990. My battles with parkinsons did not help the situation..I would like to share an email I sent to friends which included Ely because I think of your firm more as family than business. I hope this email will give you hope or inspiration to someone you know who lost hope. You may share this with anyone you think would benefit. Remember I’v had parkinson’s since 1980 when I was 30..im 55 now. God bless your firm.
Joseph A., Westchester

Dear Adrienne, I was just thinking about you and how much you have been a blessing in our lives. We’ve only just met and started working together,but I thank God for sending you our way. You are such an important role player in a prestigious company, but yet you are so humble,sweet and kind. It is very rare to find those qualities in someone who is also successful and ambitious. You are indeed a rare find.
Stephanie, Brooklyn New York

Vince Mancino provided me and my family with excellent professional services in a friendly and personal manner. This is a rare quality.
Grace T., New Rochelle, New York

Ellyn, Thanks so much for all your hard work. Mom and Dad are doing well in their new home. It’s a world of difference. Enjoy the flowers, the least I could do for all the TLC you’ve given my parents.
Jim C. New York City, NY

Bernie, As you know I was referred by Liz K. I happened to speak to her on Mothers Day at her family’s home in Brooklyn. I told her how, once again, that your firm is the best. I thought I was losing my mother’s assets as well as my inheritance if there was any. Final figures are not in,but the most important factor is that Ely secured my mom’s future needs which is what this is all about. Inheritance is secondary, although important… mom is approaching 85. Once again your firm through Ely did what I thought was impossible. Having Parkinson’s for almost 25 years makes advocacy for my mom, difficult at times..Other times impossible..this is why I needed your company. Therefore a lot of folks saw this as an opportunity to take advantage of mom as well as myself. Thank You soooooooooo Much God Bless
Ted A., Brooklyn, New York

Dear Adrienne, Thank you for your participation in our family resource day co-hosted by JCC and Westchester ARC. We received high praise for the panel that you assisted with. We appreciate your support. Sincerely, Nancy.

Dear Adrienne, Thank you so much for sharing so much with our families at the recent presentation you did. You are a true inspiration and I know our families appreciate your time, expertise and especially your ability to relate. Sincerely, Miranda M.
Miranda M., Staten Island, New York

Ellyn, Meeting you last night at SIBL’s FPA Medicare/Eldercare seminar was both a pleasure and a privilege. Thanks again for the outstanding presentation. Your contribution was highly informative and revealed just how much more those of who advise on LTC insurance have to re-learn in this new DRA environment. I will definitely recommend you to the FPA and other groups for speaking. I consider you part of my valued brain trust and look forward to future opportunities to collaborate, refer and consult on related issues. Needless to say, if can I be of assistance in helping your clients or others better understand their long term care insurance options be it Northwestern, competitive carriers or the NY Partnership, I hope you will think of sending them my way. Much appreciated, Kelly W.
Kelly W., New York, New York

Hi Bernie, I just wanted to drop you a short note of heartfelt thanks from our family. I will always be thankful to you. I am so thankful for you putting us in the care of Vince Mancino who is such a great person. Vince has helped us tremendously over the past years. His kindness, coupled with his professionalism in always providing us with a comfort level going beyond what I would have ever expected. Vince would always invite questions and calls if we had the need. Making sure we understood, and putting up with me taking notes, and asking him questions. I was always confident and comfortable with Vince taking care of my Dad and our needs, and will always remember him coming to our house in the Bronx in 2001…making a house call to work out the details and paperwork… truly unexpected! Also, I would be remiss, if I did not mention Mildred. She is always kind, helpful and caring, and has always made us feel special whenever we had visited you guys in the office, or chatted with her on the phone. I look forward to continuing our relationship with the Littman Krooks “family”, and will always recommend you to my friends, family and colleagues. Thank you Bernie, Best to you and yours, Robert and Family
Robert D. Westchester

Dear Bernie, I want to thank you for the help you provided to my sister and I in the process of having our mother admitted to a nursing home. When we told the nursing home that Littman Krooks was representing us and would provide the home with a letter of representation, the entire tenor of the meeting changed. Our application was expedited and our mother was placed in the type of room and on the type of floor we requested. Although moving our mother to the home was the saddest day of my life, I know that my sister and I can deal with my mother’s adjustment to her new life, while your firm handles the bureaucratic headache of the move. Thank you again
Laurie R., Manhattan

Thank you for helping us to prepare our Wills, and especially for showing us how we can use these Wills to name a Guardian for our three young children. It is such a relief to know that, if needed, our children will be cared for by the relative of our choosing.
Mr. & Mrs. G., White Plains, NY

Dear Bernie: Thank you for your contribution to my life, and the lives of the many elderly who have and will continue to be blessed by your expert legal mind. With deep regard, Dr. M.

Dear Adrienne, Thank you for making last week’s PTA Special Ed Meeting such a success. It truly was an “eye opener” to learn just how important sound financial planning is for children with special needs. Again, thank you for sharing your time and expertise.
Helen G., Thornwood New York

Dear Adrienne, Thank you for helping my family advocate for the special education services my daughter needed and the positive result you achieved. We are glad that she will finally receive the services she deserves.
Olivia A., Long Island City New York

Dear Elizabeth, Thank you for answering my questions in a simple and informative way. You were extremely well versed in Special Needs Trust issues. You did not rush and answered all our questions. I called my referral source and thanked him for sending me to such a wonderful firm.
Sue A., White Plains New York

Dear Elizabeth, Thank you for the consultation this afternoon. It was good to meet you and hear some words of hope. I look forward to a just resolution of the problems with Medicaid and feel good about your being on the case.
Linda R., Westchester

When David died, I was having such a difficult time getting through the day. Your caring and compassionate staff handled all of the details of settling David’s estate. This made a difficult time for me a little easier. My family and I thank you.
