When it comes to estate planning, the question isn’t just if you need an estate attorney—it’s why you can’t afford to skip one.

Jason brought a swift end to someone trying to usurp our families estate. It was an anxiety riddled situation, but Jason delivered what 2 other attorneys promised. THANK YOU JASON!
Jason was beyond professional! My parents had dual citizenship in Germany and the US. He made everything super easy for our family. Not having to fly back and forth to the US was a big help.
Jason is the best. 3 other attorneys told me and other members of our family we were dead in the water on our estate issue and he came through. This process was tearing our family apart and thanks to his teams' kinship research he was able to clear everything up for all of us. He truly found a win for everyone. Jason, we all… More will be indebted to you and your associates forever!
I am so thankful to have found Jason Stern and his partner Matt Hunter. They took my case when our family member died and we realized we were not receiving our inheritance. It turns out Jason found a very elaborate scheme to defraud the estate me and my family and a well hidden money trail leading to my cousin's bank account. … More These NY estate attorneys got us justice and our inheritance. We will not be speaking with that cousin for a while.
Very lucky to find such great attorneys to handle our estate. My family is entirely out of state and we needed an experienced attorney to handle our NY kinship case. Jason Stern and Matthew Hunter treated us with nothing but respect and patience, warmly explaining each step of the proceeding to us in terms we understood. Our kinship… More case was a bit more difficult than most because we had lost touch with members of the family years ago. Jason and Matt did not disappoint and did not give up until they successfully recovered the estate for us. Definitely attorneys you can trust and turn to with your case.
My wife and I have nothing but positive things to say about Attorney Jason Stern. He was extremely professional and a man of his word. He gave me honest and invaluable advise about a difficult issue I needed to handle. He was very responsive to my phone calls and took the time to answer every question I had... He definitely went above… More and beyond to help us.
If you are in need of an attorney, I strongly suggest seeking the services of Mr. Jason Stern.
My sister and I were faced with legal issues when our cousin passed. We do not live in New York, and were told we needed to get a kinship lawyer after the passing of our distant relative who died in Manhattan. It sounded crazy to us. But we found these attorneys who specialize in this type of work, who were kind enough to explain the… More process to us every step of the way. These attorneys handled our legal matter quickly, keeping us well informed at all times. If you are faced with a legal issue and want great representation look no further!

I Called Jason one day from out of state with a New York estate problem. Not only was this attorney patient and nice to me, he stayed on the phone until all of my questions were answered. Nobody, and I mean nobody does this anymore. He did not even charge me. He told me I did not need an attorney and instructed me on how to solve this… More problem on my own. 10 stars for Jason W Stern
We were so happy to find Mr. Stern to plan our estates. So many people told us we needed trusts but these attorneys advised us against it. Mr. Stern did simple wills for us which were better for what we needed and much cheaper. If you need an honest attorney who will give you straight answers this is your lawyer.
When our father died he left a bad will that was changed just before he passed. It cut our siblings portion of the estate by a lot and named our niece as the person in control of his estate. This made no sense to us. Luckily we hired Jason and Matt to go after this phony will and contest it because we stood to get very little from… More the inheritance which was not right. In the end we agreed that our niece would not be the executor and we all agreed to take the amount that was written in our father's previous will. For our siblings this inheritance came at a time when it was much needed. We cannot thank these attorneys enough.
Before drafting an expensive trust you probably won’t need talk to these attorneys. After being told by several other lawyers how we needed to form a trust Jason and Matt explained to us why we did not need one. They saved our family money and we thank them for that. Reputable attorneys that will level with you that I will recommend… More to anyone.
I luckily found Jason and Matt to handle our complex estate. As it went, our mother named our brother as her executor who refused to do the right thing. These attorneys fought hard to make sure we received our share of the estate. Jason was always accessible and clearly explained each stage of the lengthy process. I am grateful for their… More outstanding service from start to finish. As a thank you, I highly recommend this firm.
Jason and Matt are the greatest attorneys. Their honesty and integrity is uncommon in the legal field which makes it really easy to have them represent you. Anyone in need of an estate lawyer should feel comfortable with this legal team protecting your interests.
Our distant relative died in NYC. Our family is all out of state. Sizeable inheritance and when we learned it was all going to go to the State of New York if we didn't act fast we hired the best attorneys in the business.
These NY estate lawyers worked tirelessly piecing the research together to win our case at trial. This estate… More changed our lives for the better and speaking on behalf of the entire family we would not have seen a nickel if not for Jason.
Our family recommends Jason and Matt wholeheartedly, when you need the best call them.
When our aunt passed leaving behind a will members of our family began the process to control the estate knowing they were not in her will. We did not even know this could happen.
We did not mess around and went straight to the best estate lawyers in NY and they did not disappoint . Jason and Matt were prepared for every possible manuever.… More When we filed the will as expected these unsavory characters objected. Once again Jason and Matt defeated them in short order.
In the end I am confident we could not have succeeded like we did without our A team of expert legal professionals on our side. I cant thank them enough these attorneys changed our lives.
