They are helping me with documents for my father. Preparing him his later years. Very professional, but yet they do it with an honesty and make you feel like you are talking to a friend......not normally what you would expect from a law firm. Recommend very highly!
Bob Hurst - Edison, NJ 
I was getting work done for my elderly father-in-law and was there from out of state, for only 2 days. They went out of their way to have it all completed within 3 hours, and it was a great relief for my family. I am extremely grateful for their diligence. They were also professional and friendly. If I lived in the area I would use them for my own personal needs, and highly recommend them

James Galvin
I couldn’t be happier that my niece and I chose Wolfe Ossa Law. They were very patient and professional with all of our dealings and were always available to answer our many questions. I would highly recommend them.
Susan Apfelbaum
Christian Ossa was an absolute pleasure to work with. He assisted us with our wills. An expert in his field. He provided us will all the information we needed to feel that our bases are covered. All processing was done in a timely basis. Pricing is fair and they are only looking to provide you with the services you need rather than making a push for income. We felt well taken care of.
Susan Varca
We waited far too long in getting our affairs in order. Christian and his staff gave us sound advice on how to protect our assets for our children. They made what could have been a difficult process, simple, fast and easy. Don’t put off your will.
Barry Montalto
Cristian Ossa was wonderful to work with. He is very knowledgeable, patient, and overall pricing is fair in comparison to other firms in the area. We used his services for a will and the process was seamless from start to finish. We highly recommend Wolfe Ossa Law.

Highly recommend Wolfe Ossa Law after a terrific experience working with Christian. He walked us through the process, answered all our questions, and put our minds at ease. Very personable, knowledgeable, and professional.
Mary Foti
Cristian Ossa and Jaclyn Healey at Wolfe Ossa Law did a really fine job helping me to navigate the waters of elder law on behalf of my father and me. They are responsive, caring, and compassionate while maintaining high professional expertise and ethics. They explained the law and different options (many times), and guided me through steps taken with patience and understanding. They were especially helpful assisting me long distance from another state, much of it while under COVID restrictions. It would be remiss to also not acknowledge Alva Bonet, who keeps it all together. I am very glad to have had Wolfe Ossa Law referred to me and to have the pleasure of working with them.
Charles Stryker
Wolfe Ossa was recommended to us by a friend. Mr. Ossa could not have been any more accommodating helping my mother with her will and power of attorney. Everyone at that firm was wonderful and made the process easy for us. I highly recommend them!

Being an Estate Executor is a thankless job. It is a position I would never want to be put in again. If I had to do it all over again I would have hired Cristian Ossa of Wolfe Ossa Law from the beginning. Cristian was able to correct previous legal oversights/mistakes, consolidate the accounting, and present my case to the court for settlement and closure. Most lawyers wouldn't have wanted to handle my case. Cristian enjoys a legal challege. He and the staff at Wolfe Ossa Law did a marvelous job for me! Thanks Cristian for relieving me of the stress and proving I was a good, conciencious executor of my families estate!
Daniel Burgoyne
My husband and I can not say enough about Cristian OSSA and the staff at Wolfe Ossa Law. Due to an emergency situation, Cristian went out of his way to accommodate us so we had piece of mind. Their staff is awesome and makes you feel so special. Thank you all!I highly recommend this firm.
Ruth Boda

I would like to take this opportunity to say thanks to Cristian A. Ossa and his staff for meeting with my family and I at no cost to educate and guide us on estate planning and asset protection. His six points of estate planning is something that the elderly community and their families should be aware of. Let him help protect you and your assets. Don’t lose what you worked all of your life for!

Steven Whittington
Recently we had the pleasure of working with Mrs. Healey in order to create our living will, power of attorney, and advanced healthcare directive. Mrs. Healey was very easy to work with and was extremely accommodating. She even met with us after hours via phone conference. Everything was completed in a timely manner and with great professionalism. Alva Bonet was also very helpful when it came to scheduling and gathering information needed in order to create the documents. The law office is extremely clean and maintained proper Covid protocols. I would definitely recommend Mrs. Healey and the Wolfe Ossa law firm for all your estate planning needs.
