It is no secret today that nursing home costs are not only astronomical, but that with advances in medicine people are living longer, but with more help than ever before. As a result, many of us throughout Syracuse and Baldwinsville, NY, may have to spend some time in a nursing home.

While Medicare may pay for some of the initial costs of such a stay, the coverage is limited based on the circumstances and at best will typically only cover a portion of the first 100 days of rehabilitation.This often places the family in a difficult position if the person needing care is not ready to leave the nursing home setting.
It is an easy thing to ignore, which is what most people do- until they can't. At DeFio Law Firm, we demystify the process. We operate out of offices in Syracuse and Baldwinsville, NY and offer comprehensive estate planning services to clients throughout the Greater Syracuse area. From simple bequests to the complex tax matters, we can help you to properly plan and manage your estate, bringing you the peace of mind you deserve.
Since 2003, DeFio Law Firm PLLC has been working to help clients in Syracuse and Baldwinsville, NY with their legal matters. Using our years of professional experience and knowledge, we strive to help provide clients with the results they deserve when it comes to matters in elder law, real estate law, and estate planning.

My aunt wanted to set her affairs in order. Dan was suggested to us by aunt's attorney who was retiring. Dan was great. Listened to our situation and gave numerous options and completely explained each one. No rushing or pressure to do anything. He really wants what's the best for his clients. Dan was a pleasure to take care of aunt's affairs. I highly recommend him. I'm not easily impressed, but Dan is impressive.

We recently had Dan draw up a new will for us. Since we did this during the pandemic, we couldn't meet in his office but rather did it all by email and zoom. He made everything so easy and guided us through all the paperwork. He made sure we understood what we were signing. We would highly recommend him for your estate planning.

As a Real Estate Agent, my Seller introduced me to DeFio Law Firm PLLC as she already had a relationship with them on a previous transaction. I have to say this transaction was by far the best and easiest I have ever experienced! Dan DeFio and his Paralegal Lisa Dorsey always greeted and responded to us with high energy and efficiency; they made this whole transaction seamless and even fun! I am definitely going to refer future clients their way!

Dan makes estate planning easy to understand. He is not an attorney that watches his "billing clock" which I loved. Very helpful to me and my family and made it simple to adjust things as life changed for us. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Dan is extremely knowledgeable and has a keen sense of his client's objectives and provides the appropriate legal solutions to their personal circumstances. Investment clients I have referred to Dan over the years state he manages to speak to them in terms and concepts they can understand and relate to within their families. Dan has a passion for the law and ensuring individuals and families receive the best legal
