Anthony C. Santopolo Jr., Estate Planning Lawyer in Buffalo, NY and Florida

Protecting Your Assets. Preserving Your Legacy.

What makes Santopolo Law different is simple: I’m not here to hand you a stack of documents you’ll never look at again. I’m here to guide you through a thoughtful, supportive planning process that gives you clarity, confidence, and a trusted professional to turn to whenever questions arise.

My practice is built on genuine care, clear communication, and a commitment to making planning feel approachable rather than overwhelming. As an estate planning attorney licensed in New York and Florida, I help individuals and families create wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and comprehensive estate plans tailored to their goals.

You deserve a planning experience that feels personal, steady, and grounded in your real needs—not a transactional document‑drafting service. That’s the heart of my work.

My wife and I worked with Anthony to put together our will, power of attorney, health care proxy, and a handful of trusts — basically the whole estate planning package — and I can't recommend him enough. What stood out wasn't just his knowledge (though he clearly knows his stuff), it was how much time he took to actually understand our family and what we cared about before he drafted a single document. Nothing felt like boilerplate. Estate planning is one of those things you put off because it feels overwhelming, but Anthony made it easy and honestly kind of reassuring. He explained everything in plain English, answered every question without making us feel rushed, and made sure we walked away actually understanding our own plan — not just signing where he told us to. This isn't a one-and-done kind of relationship either. Life changes, and it's good to know we have someone we trust to keep our plan current as it does. If you've been putting off getting your affairs in order, do yourself a favor and call Anthony. You'll be glad you did.
