What antonelli & antonelli does

Antonelli & Antonelli is a family-owned New York law firm founded in 1986 by Richard C. Antonelli, specializing exclusively in trusts and estates law. The firm provides three core services: Probate & Estate Administration, Estate & Trust Litigation, and Estate Planning, all handled within the New York Surrogate's Court system. Its primary customers are individuals and families navigating executor/administrator appointments, will contests, fiduciary misconduct claims, kinship hearings, contested accountings, and the creation of wills, trusts, and powers of attorney. The practice serves clients throughout the New York City metropolitan area — Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, Staten Island, Nassau County, Westchester County — and selectively represents out-of-state clients with estates under New York jurisdiction via remote correspondence.

The firm is led by Senior Partner Richard C. Antonelli, Managing Partner Daniel R. Antonelli (his son), and Partner Samantha M. Sbrocchi, supported by an Associate Attorney, Special Counsel, an Office Manager, and two paralegals, totaling roughly eight staff. Revenue is generated through legal fees on a per-matter basis, with free initial consultations used as the primary conversion mechanism. The firm's go-to-market relies on direct-to-consumer client engagement via phone, website contact forms, and in-person consultations at its 225 Broadway office in Lower Manhattan, supplemented by client testimonials, an educational blog, a YouTube video library, FAQ resources, and recognition on Super Lawyers and AVVO.

Antonelli & Antonelli operates independently with no parent company, subsidiaries, or external investment. Its brand and pipeline are built on the personal reputation of its attorneys, multi-generational family continuity, and the emotional switching costs inherent to ongoing estate matters. The Managing Partner's June 2026 induction as President of the Brooklyn Bar Association and the January 2025 partnership promotion of Sbrocchi are the most recent structural milestones in an otherwise stable, long-running practice.
