A Manhasset firm built on trust, quietly, over three decades.
Marchese & Maynard, LLP guides North Shore families through the decisions that shape generations. Wills, trusts, probate, elder law, and asset protection, handled with discretion and care.
Counsel that listens first, drafts second.
The law offices of Marchese & Maynard, LLP began on a simple premise: the client's needs come first, period. For many years we have helped North Shore families find just, satisfactory answers to the estate, elder, probate, and real estate questions that shape a household's future.
Estate work is never only about documents. It is about the people who sign them, the family they protect, and the next chapter no one else is talking about yet. We sit with clients across the table, not across a portal. Plans are drafted in plain language, reviewed in person, and revisited as life changes.
When you call our firm, you get an experienced New York estate, probate, or elder law attorney who knows how to get results. Cases are handled successfully, promptly, and with an eye on cost, and every plan is signed under the direct guidance of a partner.
That patience, multiplied across three decades, is the reason families on the North Shore introduce us to their parents, their siblings, and eventually their children.
The habits behind a plan that holds.

Families who can finally rest easy.
“Robin and Paul walked our family through a trust restructure after my father's stroke. They explained every clause in plain language and the Nassau County Surrogate filings closed without a single delay.”
“We finally have a real estate plan, not a binder collecting dust. The team made sure our co-op shares were actually transferred into the trust. Worth every minute of the consultation.”
“After two other attorneys gave us conflicting Medicaid advice, Marchese and Maynard laid out the lookback timeline on paper and built a plan that protected our home. Calm, precise, and patient.”
“Probate could have been a nightmare. They handled the executor paperwork, creditor notices, and a contested distribution without us ever having to argue with family. Genuine pros.”
“Paul drafted our wills, healthcare proxies, and powers of attorney in a single afternoon, and the bank accepted the POA without a single follow up call. That alone tells you they know what they are doing.”
“Trusted, local, and responsive. Robin took my call on a Friday afternoon when I was panicking about my mother's nursing home admission. By Monday we had a clear plan and the right documents in motion.”
