LaMagna McKenna PLLC brings full-service legal counsel to Staten Island families and businesses. From sophisticated estate planning to elder law, probate, and real estate, our team guides clients through life’s most important transitions with the personalized attention these matters deserve.
Personalized service. Compassionate counsel. Trusted advocacy.
Wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives — the documents that determine how your wishes are carried out. We design plans that fit your family, your assets, and your priorities.
Long-term care planning, asset protection, and the legal frameworks that protect aging family members. Staten Island families turn to us when the planning stakes are highest.
Administering an estate after a loved one passes is a procedural maze. We guide executors and beneficiaries through the Surrogate’s Court process from petition through final distribution.
When a family member can no longer manage their own affairs, guardianship proceedings protect them legally. We handle Article 81 petitions and the contested matters that follow.
Eligibility planning, applications, and appeals. Properly structured planning can preserve family assets while securing the long-term care benefits your loved one needs.
Will contests, fiduciary disputes, and contested accountings. When an estate becomes a battleground, we represent the parties whose interests need protecting in Surrogate’s Court.
Residential and commercial closings, contract review, title issues, and transfers connected to estate matters. Real estate touches almost every other practice area we handle.
Comprehensive Legal Representation
Licensed Attorneys
Tailored To Your Unique Needs
Most legal matters touch more than one area of law. A guardianship leads to Medicaid planning. An estate involves real estate. We handle all of it in-house, so your matter never gets handed off to outside counsel.
Every Staten Island client gets a strategy built around their family, their assets, and their goals. We do not run a volume practice — we run a practice that treats the work seriously.
You work with the attorney handling your matter, not an intake coordinator who passes you off. Calls are returned promptly and questions get answered.
From sophisticated estate planning to contested guardianship litigation, our team brings deep substantive experience to each practice area we cover.
When a matter becomes contested — a will challenge, a guardianship dispute, a real estate disagreement — we bring the same energy and creativity to litigation that we bring to planning.
These are not slogans on a wall. They define how we handle every Staten Island matter from inception through resolution. Difficult moments deserve counsel that treats people with care.
