Steve Mangan has provided a variety of legal services to me and my family for many years. Whether it’s real estate, estate planning or individual representation Steve does a great job explaining the applicable law so that you will have answers to your questions.

More importantly, I trust Steve and his commitment to provide superior service to his clients.

Our financial planner referred us to attorney Catherine Craig for estate planning work; Will, Durable Power of Attorney and Health Directive. In short, Kate was AWESOME to work with. She met with us to review our needs, provided consultative service and then went to work. In short order she wrote up our documents. We then met and she took time to walk us through the information and answer all our questions. Cate provided exceptional service and a fair price, highly recommended!

In 2023 my sister passed away unexpectedly.. I worked with Stephen and Robert on her Estate, condo sale, and tax return They were organized and well versed with what was needed and what the client expectations would be. They worked around some travel and other limitations that I had and made a difficult situation that much easier. I’d highly recommend them and am so grateful for their expertise and compassion

I recently had the pleasure of working with attorney Stephen Mangan, and I can't recommend him enough. Working with him was a breeze—he's approachable, honest, and incredibly efficient.

What sets Mr. Mangan apart is his down-to-earth communication style. He made the legal process easy to understand and ensured I felt heard every step of the way. His depth of knowledge and transparency proved invaluable in achieving a positive outcome.

I cant thank him enough for being exactly what I needed!

During a very difficult time of loss for my family, Attorney Stephen Mangan and his team made all the legal matters easy to deal with and represented my family very well. From our first meeting, he explained everything in terms we could easily understand and was always very responsive when I had questions outside of our meetings.

If anyone is looking for a knowledgeable hard working attorney, I highly recommend Stephan Mangan and his team.

I've been recommending to Robert Scalise at Ericson, Scalise & Mangan in New Britain to my clients for some time now for their estate planning and elber law needs. He's a gem of a man and has an amazing way of turning complicated concepts sound simple and easy to digest. Bob really gets people – he's empathetic and patient. Every time I refer someone to him, I do it with total confidence. If you need someone who can guide you through the maze of estate planning or elder law without making your head spin, Robert Scalise at Ericson, Scalise & Mangan is your man!

These past two years have been a rollercoaster of legal needs, and Atty Mangan has been the absolute best for the entire ride. Not only did he help us though a rather complex estate, he also steered the waters for the sale of two homes and the purchase of another; all the while keeping us informed as the what the next steps were, and presenting a few options when decisions needed to be made.

Class act all the way.

I've had the privilege to referrals multiple clients to Cate Craig and she always comes through. Everyone needs to take care of their estate planning and YOU NEED to speak with Cate, an expert in the field. She'll make you feel comfortable speaking about the uncomfortable.

Atty. Steve Mangan handled my real estate closing, along with his real estate paralegal, Mary Schmitt. They made sure everything was taken care of in a timely manner, even when last-minute issues arose with our lender. If you are in need of representation for a real estate transaction, do not hesitate to reach out to them!

I worked with one of their attorneys, Catherine A. Craig. I’m a Realtor and we had a client in common. Cate was very friendly and professional. She made our client feel welcome and at ease. Cate was able to answer all of her questions in a way that was easy to understand. She is a fabulous attorney!!! Great experience. Will definitely be recommending her and her firm!!

I needed an attorney for a will, POA, and health care directive. Catherine Craig was the perfect choice. She knows the law, but she explains it in everyday terms. Very professional but down-to-earth, and responsive to emails and phone calls. I highly recommend her.

Last year my grandfather and I had to take an emergency trip to CT after his sister sadly passed away. We were unable to stay for more than a couple weeks, and my grandfather was ready to leave her house and the rest of her estate to the bank. I was able to convince him to at least talk to a lawyer, and on the recommendation of the funeral director talked to Mr. Scalise. He was immensely helpful, and his team made the entire process amazingly easy. We were able to return home and rest easy that the pros were handling everything for us. I know his sister would much rather my grandfather recieve her posessions than the bank, and thanks to the hard work of everyone involved, that was made a reality. The weight ESM was able to lift off my grandfather during such a difficult time was invaluable, and I wouldn't hesitate to rely on them again, or to recommend them to anyone in a similar position.

I am happy to say that my partner and I are homeowners now with the help of attorney, Catherine Craig, and paralegal, Mary Schmitt, at the Law Offices of Ericson, Scalise & Mangan, PC. They were both extremely professional, attentive to detail, communicative, and accommodating. As a licensed realtor and new homeowner, I would highly recommend them and truly appreciate their guidance and expertise.

Had the opportunity to work with Catherine (Cate) Craig. Cate went above and beyond to take care of our client and answered every question professionally and with compassion. This resulted in a very happy client! Thanks Cate.

I am very pleased with my experience working with Attorney Cate Craig. She helped me successfully navigate the estate planning process by providing clear responses to my many questions. I appreciate her kind, friendly professionalism.

When my father passed away it was a difficult time for the family. We were fortunate that my father previously engaged Robert Scalise Jr to handle his estate planning. As the executrix of the estate, Robert guided me through the Probate process. The team's expertise and knowledge gave me great peace of mind. I would highly recommend.

We purchased a house and Ericsson and SCALISE help us with the purchased of our home. They are very professional and they explained every detailed for you to understand. I will surely use this law firm again, and I refer this great team to you.

Very good communication during the process of transferring mom's assets into a trust for my disabled brother. Everything went as planned and we would recommend Ericson, Scalise and Mangan to handle your affairs.
