Two partners. One standard of care for North Shore families.
Every plan is drafted, reviewed, and signed under the direct guidance of a partner. Estate planning, elder law, and probate counsel from a firm rooted in Manhasset.
Paul P. Marchese
Paul P. Marchese has counseled North Shore families for more than three decades, building a practice rooted in careful listening and disciplined drafting. His work centers on estate planning, trusts, and probate administration, and clients return generation after generation because his counsel holds up when it matters most.
Paul is known for putting the client's goals first. He takes the time to understand each family's circumstances, then develops a plan tailored to their situation rather than pulling from a template. Clear communication throughout the process is a non-negotiable, so families are never left guessing about what a document says or why it says it.
Beyond the office, Paul is active in the local community and gives his time to pro bono and charitable initiatives. That commitment carries into his practice through steady judgment, meticulous attention to detail, and a reputation for doing the work quietly and well.

Robin S. Maynard
Robin S. Maynard brings decades of experience to elder law, Medicaid planning, guardianship, and estate matters for Long Island families. Her practice sits at the intersection of law and life, and she is at her best when the stakes are personal: a parent's care, a spouse's security, a dependent's future.
Robin's approach is client-centered by design. She listens first, maps the family's objectives, and builds a plan tailored to their specific circumstances rather than a standard template. Communication stays open at every step, so clients understand each decision, each document, and each next move.
Outside the office, Robin is engaged in her community and supports pro bono and charitable work. That same dedication shows up in her cases through thorough research, careful preparation, and a steady advocacy her clients have come to trust.

“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.”
