I've used Fornaro law on multiple real estate transactions, and have recommended them to all of my family and friends! I am always impressed by their level of service and attention to detail. They are extremely responsive, and continue to exceed my expectations. I would not sell or buy a home without having them on my side. On our most recent file, we worked with John, and he was great! He took the time to review my questions by phone, always responded promptly, and advocated for us, as we were purchasing a county-owned property. Thank you for everything!

John Heneghan was a wonderful match for my seller clients. He worked together with us as a true team, through each step of the home selling process. After decades in the same family home, it was time for this seller to move to an assisted living situation, which is an emotional transition for anybody. John made it easy for the seller to understand their options and make decisions that were best for them. I continue to look forward to working with Fornaro Law on future transactions!

I have used Phil Fornaro and Fornaro Law for the better part of 6 years now. I have used them for my personal needs as well as a strong and competent referral for the clients of Smothers Realty Group who need an attorney for their real estate matters as well as for other legal work.

I have found Phil and his staff to be caring, competent, responsive and knowledgeable, and I have always felt comfortable and in good hands when working with them.

As a business person, I have especially appreciated how Fornaro Law has grown and yet kept their customer/client service at the highest levels.

I have referred Fornaro Law to many business clients and personal friends and will continue to happily and confidently recommend Fornaro Law to anyone for personal, financial or real estate legal matters.

My fiance and I worked with John Heneghan and Mark Lara on the purchase of our first home in Plainfield. Throughout the process, John and the team at Fornaro Law were on top of everything. The communications from John were outstanding. He kept us in the loop and got us answers very quickly. At the closing, Mark Lara walked us through the paperwork in a very detailed, yet efficient manner. Fornaro Law made the process of purchasing a home smoother than we could have imagined. We will definitely continue using the team here for our future needs.

I have placed my faith in Fornaro Law for all my legal concerns for the past 20 years. They handled my real estate closings, and will soon help me establish financial trusts. Phil invests heavily in his community, and is an excellent resource to discuss strategic partnerships. His tremendous integrity is unparalleled in any profession.

Having Fornaro represent our family business E-Blox has been fantastic. They are very responsive to all our needs and questions, and are exceptionally experienced in how to help startup companies. They are on the cutting edge of technology to provide the most cost effective and timely support of our needs. They really care about the success of our business and it shows as Vince, Phil and their colleagues have personally met with us proactively several times to make sure they are meeting our needs. They have also been great in supporting estate planning for us personally. I highly recommend Fornaro for any and all of you corporate attorney needs.

Fornaro Law did an outstanding job on my commercial real estate closing earlier this summer. Especially John Heneghan whose tenacity, professionalism and knowledge really made it easy for me. John's tireless effort in a fairly complex transaction put me at ease as I knew I had the right people handling my account. I would recommend Fornaro and any organization who employs paralegals as competent and conscientious as John Heneghan.

It’s been my pleasure to partner with Fornaro Law over the past year. They are innovative, thought leaders in the legal community, always acting professionally and ethically, and keeping the needs of their clients “top of mind” at all times. I’ve been impressed with how they’ve embraced the introduction of artificial intelligence into their law practice, resulting in their ability to deliver a higher standard of care to those who seek their advice. Fornaro Law is a firm that aspires to exceed client expectations, and always looks for opportunities to improve the delivery, quality and affordability of their services.

My husband and I recently worked with Allison Walsh and John Heneghan on the closing of our very first home. They made the process so easy and took the time to answer our questions every step of the way. John was Allison’s “right hand man” who truly was amazing and very knowledgeable. He was very responsive to emails, thorough, and took time to explain everything to us. At the closing, Allison was great. She was quick yet detailed and made sure to go through every single thing with us. I would recommend them to anyone and will definitely work with them again in the future.

My husband and I highly recommend Fornaro Law firm. John was wonderful to work with. What should have been an easy process turned up issues dating back over 20 years that caused us concern. John's reassuring words, "Don't worry, I'll figure this out" weren't just words. He is tenacious and; yes, his humor helps ease client's worries. Thank you, John. Keep up the great work !

As a surveying company, Phil Fornaro has been one of our main clients for well over 20 years using our surveying services for real estate closing. Phil and his staff have been nothing but professional and efficient in all our dealings. We have seen his business grow in leaps and bounds over the years, particularly the last 5 years in commercial and residential real estate. We look forward to continuing our relationship with Fornaro Law and wish Phil nothing but continued success and growth - Mitch at Kabal Surveying

I lost my mother in November and all bank accounts were frozen. I reached out to Fornaro Law to get things settled. I was in contact with John Lara and he was amazing. I actually told him he was my guardian angel. Very quick turn around and price was perfect. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of prompt service. Another thing, if you need to talk to them they always make themselves available. Out of 5 stars, I'd give them 10!!

I started my relation with Fornaro Law in late 2016 with purchase of my condo. My immediate gut feel with Philip and Mary are their attentiveness to clients. They helped me navigate the purchase contract maximizing my protection at every stage. Communication was timely and clear all throughout the entire process to closing in 2021. I feel they are genuinely invested in each client's wellbeing no matter the size of the transaction. This has been their modus operandi throughout their growth to the current firm. My attorney for closing was Habib Wardack. He was extremely easy to work with and answered all of my concerns. The mortgage application was very challenging with one bank and necessitating changing bank at the very last moment. Habib then helped me secured pre closing possession with the most favorable terms. Closing was a breeze with him patiently guiding me through the mountain of paperwork. I had complete confidence in him which is what made the process nearly stress free. Again, the most important aspect of Fornaro Law is the people and the feeling they have not changed their philosophy despite tremendous growth. That is hard to find these days.

Fornaro Law handled my real estate busnnes with great profesionalism and efficiency. I have used them for several closings on my properties. Everything was explained in detail to me and my company. This showed great personal interest. John Heneghan was very efficient in responding all my calls and emails promptly. I definitely recommend them. And Mark was very helpful and professional at the actual closing. Amazing team!
I will definitely continue to use them for all my future businesses!

When having to go through the probate process, I was lost and did not know the first thing on how to proceed. John Lara and his team made everything a lot easier. He was very responsive and explained every step of the procedure. He was always there to answer any questions we had. I put my trust in him and the firm and would return to them in the future if I needed legal help.

It has been a pleasure working with John Lara and Fornaro Law for the past several months. John has been crucial in providing legal advice in great detail during an extremely stressful situation. His patience is much appreciated as he helped us navigate our options through to a resolution! We have a tremendous sense of relief and could not be more pleased with John's professionalism throughout the process! Thanks John! I highly recommend Fornaro Law and will definitely use them again should the need arise!

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Allison Walsh and Shanin Rodriguez when we bought a new single-family home in February 2021 and then again when we sold our townhouse in June 2021. We also worked with John Heneghan on the home purchase. It has been a long road, and Allison and Shanin did an excellent job helping us successfully complete these huge projects! They are professional, kind, intelligent, diligent, and knowledgeable. We highly recommend Allison and her team!

Just closed my second home sale with Fornaro Law. Allison and John H. were professional and extraordinarily helpful in this, an unusual sale. In particular, John was diligent and maintained frequent communication to make sure I understood what was needed and when. I appreciated his direction and his good humor! I recommend Fornaro Law for any real estate needs!
