Our Approach
Our clients appreciate the amount of time we spend in face-to-face meetings, educating them about the law and how it pertains to their circumstances. We take that time because we know that when you’re fully informed, you’ll make the best decisions for your family or your business. Our “face time” also allows us the chance to get to know your goals and objectives, and learn about other areas of your life where you might benefit from legal safeguards.
Many of our repeat clients first came to us for real estate advice and then started estate planning, elder care, and business law matters with us as well. It may be the knowledgeable, friendly environment of our office or our reasonable fees that keeps these clients coming back, but we like to think they appreciate the results and value they get from our conscientious service.

I went with Robert Rampulla for my first home purchase based off a recommendation from a friend, and I am so glad I did. The purchase ended up being more complicated than anyone could have foreseen, and he shepherded me through the whole process. Without his experience and expertise, I do not think we would have made it to closing. I couldn’t be happier with the legal services he provided. 10/10 would recommend.

I am very pleased with the outcome of my experience working with your staff. I would definitely recommend your business to friends and family. Thank you for everything.

Thank you, thank you very much!

Great estate planning! So glad we chose to attend a workshop with Bill Newstad. He is so knowledgeable and explains everything in a way that everyone can relate to. The office staff is friendly and helpful, Barbara, Mary, Debbie, Danielle to name a few. We highly recommend going to see them and get your assets protected for the future.
Marcelle D.
After watching a few Estate Planning webinars, I decided on Rampulla & Newstad. Reason: Mr. Newstad’s presentation was easy to understand and enjoyable at the same time. He explained every scenario of why it’s important to protect your assets and legacy through a fictitious couple “Mary & Joe”.
I knew Mr. Newstad was the lawyer for me. I was initially nervous, and immediately felt confident and at ease in working with Mr. Newstad.
Mr. Newstad and each staff person I met with was very professional, polite, knowledgeable.
Jo Ann G.

Chantel H.
Went today for a consultation and the assistance I received from Robert as well as the ladies at the front desk was unparalleled. The advice provided was very professional and Robert explained everything in detail to where everything made sense. Highly recommend this place.
Engjell L.
I had an amazing experience working with Mr. Rampulla and team for my first home purchase. As a first-time buyer, I was nervous about the legal side of things, but they made the entire process smooth and stress-free. They were incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and thorough, explaining every detail in a way I could easily understand. Their communication was top-notch—always prompt and professional. I felt confident knowing they had my back. If you’re buying a home, I can’t recommend them enough.
Joseph G.
Great service. Totally professional and caring. I highly recommend this law office especially in regards to Elder Law. Thank you counselor and your fine staff.
John M.
We went to Rampulla and Newstad to prepare our trust. They explained everything perfectly, answered all of our questions and made the process so easy. I highly recommend them.
Diane R.
I’ve known Mr. Robert Rampulla since 2003. When I purchased a new construction in 2003, Mr. Rampulla was the seller’s (builder’s) attorney. I was very impressed when I saw how he conducted the closing and has been seeking his guidance on all NYC real estate matters since. He is excellent and very knowledgeable. He will fight to get the best for you.
Also, I had my living will and health proxies done by Mr. Newstad. Again very happy with the professionalism and the service received.
Senaka S.
Robert was great at helping me understand our legal issues. I have also used his company in housing closings. Robert and his team are very professional and knowledgeable, I highly recommend them.

Working with Mr. Newstad and his team for our estate planning was an exceptional experience. From the very beginning, they were not just knowledgeable, but also incredibly attentive to our needs. The entire process, which seemed daunting at first, was transformed into a seamless and understandable journey thanks to their expertise. Mr. Newstad’s ability to break down complex legal terms into everyday language made us feel comfortable and informed at every step. His patience and willingness to answer our endless questions truly set him apart from others. He meticulously ensured that aspect of our future was secure, covering details we hadn’t even considered. Moreover, his team mirrored his dedication and professionalism. They were always prompt with responses and incredibly well-organized, ensuring that every document was accurate and ready when needed. It was clear that they genuinely cared about crafting the best plan tailored to our needs. Thanks to Mr. Newstad, estate planning turned into a comforting process rather than a stressful ordeal. We highly recommend him and his team to anyone looking to secure their estate and understand every detail involved. The peace of mind we now have is invaluable, and we owe it to their outstanding guidance and support

After my first seminar with them I felt extremely comfortable with the firm. William was very patient and took the time to explain all my questions at the seminar. I hired them and was so pleased with their professionalism and knowledge of what I needed. The entire team’s personality is a pleasure to deal with and they make you feel like you are one of the family. Even after I was done and had my trust completed, any questions I had were always answered. I would highly recommend them.
Larry B.
As a very satisfied long-time client of the Law Office of Bill Newstad, I wholeheartedly recommend him and his staff, especially for the way they helped me in planning for my present and future legal needs. Bill broke down legal concepts regarding senior care and explained in simple terms their implications. Bill and his staff were totally supportive. Their expertise was quite evident when faced with what I thought were major hurdles, they treated with recognition, professionalism and care.
Michael G.
I highly recommend this law firm. Setting up a trust and seeing a lawyer can be a daunting process and experience. Not here, it is a friendly welcoming atmosphere. All legal terms are thoroughly explained, and the process is very smooth. Go there and see for yourself. 5 star review.
Tim H.
We were first introduced to William Newstad at a free seminar which they hosted at a local diner. My husband and I left convinced that a family trust was something we needed to pursue. Over a period of several meetings with Bill and his staff, Barbara, Mary and Debbie, all of our questions were answered, and our family trust was prepared. We feel confident that our assets are protected and highly recommend this firm.
Sylvia C.
Excellent and very professional. If you’re looking to protect and secure your estate and assets, William J. Newstad and staff were very understanding and accommodating to my concerns. I highly recommend them 👌.

I was a bit nervous, but once I began the process, the team made me feel at ease. They are very informative, professional, and helpful. Their concerns are simply to ensure my wishes are met after my passing. The firm allowed me to have one less thing to worry about. I will highly recommend them to other people.

During my home closing journey, had multiple hiccups along the road but thanks to Mr. Rampulla and Lisa I was able to have a successful and smooth closing. I consider myself lucky to be able to work with such an amazing team. Highly highly highly recommend any home buyers to work with them because you will be guarantee a smooth journey
Wan Ling C.
My wife and I have known Robert Rampulla for over 20 years. We consider him to be one of our “trusted advisors”. We have used his service to close multiple real estate properties and his knowledge and patience have made these events seamless. Now my son Ryan recently used him for the purchase of his first home. As-long-as Robert stays in practice, we will always want him by our side! He’s now a family “Trusted Advisor” and more importantly a friend for life. Lastly, his office manager, Lisa, is amazing and always keeps the ship pointed in the right direction. No rock goes unturned. If Robert is available to assist you, look no further.

This is to state my opinion of working with Rampulla & Newstad. With the loss of my wife Patricia in Sept, I was at a loss to deal with the legal aspects of this situation. They were recommended to me by my sister in law Nora. I was very impressed with the professionalism and thoroughness of Mr. Newstad and his staff with taking care of the legal aspects of this situation. They handled my assets, trust and necessary documents with ease and clarity for me. I can rest assured that this law firm will stand behind me in the future if situations arise. I recommend highly the law firm of Rampulla and Newstad for any and all legal concerns.

John Q.
To me estate planning seemed like a laborious, intimidating process. I kept putting it off, till finally I was convinced to go to Rampulla and Newstad and was very pleased with the quality of service provided by Bill Newstad and his staff. Bill and the entire team were friendly, very knowledgeable, and always highly professional. Each planning meeting was held in a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere, and legal details were explained comprehensively, so I always left with a clear sense of direction and progress. My estate plan is complete; wish I had done this sooner.
Anna M.
Rampulla and Newstad LLP is an excellent law firm with two highly respected attorneys and an extremely competent and knowledgeable staff. I have had the pleasure of working with both attorneys for different reasons. Mr. Rampulla who is a real estate attorney has handled several real estate transactions for me. The process was seamless and stress free. Mr. Newstad who is an estate planning attorney recently established a trust for my husband and I. I thought that having a Will was sufficient until I attended one of Rampulla and Newstad’s seminars on estate planning. It was so enlightening! I walked away with a wealth of information from both of them. I immediately scheduled an appointment with them. The two attorneys worked hand and hand along with our CPA and financial specialist to create our customized trust protecting our finances, investments and real estate. After several meetings we walked out of their office with a binder outlining every detail of our affairs. It was the best thing we ever did and gave us complete peace of mind! I highly recommend Mr. Rampulla and Mr. Newstad along with their amazing staff. Contact their office if you want to attend one of their free seminars.

I was recommended by a dear and trusted friend to the law firm of Rampulla & Newstad in creating a family trust. I found this firm to be highly professional and extremely competent in this endeavor and would recommend them 100% to anyone looking for his service.
James G.
I secured the professional services of Rampulla and Newstad earlier this year and have been extremely satisfied with their services in several ways. First, they are very personable, easy to converse with and available for information or questions I have. I am comfortable asking any questions, securing advice and feel that all aspects of my Trust needs were handled with respect, knowledge and excellent service.
Susan L.
My wife and I bought a new home and sold our first home recently. We hired Mr. Rampulla to represent us through the process. There was a lot of different parties involved, a lot of information flying back and forth and tons of things to consider— but with Mr. Rampulla we felt so comfortable knowing that we had someone representing our best interests. He took the time to learn our situation, advised us and made sure that we got everything we needed out of the deal. Mr. Rampulla is friendly, knowledgeable and communicates beautifully. We also have to shout out Lisa and Alyssa from Rampulla’s office, they were amazing. We’d definitely hire Rampulla again and would recommend to anyone buying or selling a home.
Rob M.
