She has participated in trials in all areas.  Ms. Reitano has a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work from St. John’s University.  She has been deemed an expert in the field of guardianship law in New York, Kings, Richmond and Queens County in New York City, and is routinely appointed the New York State Supreme Court in every borough (with the exception of the Bronx) to act as guardian and to conduct turnover proceedings and litigate on behalf of incapacitated persons.

Ms. Reitano is a certified court mediator and has logged more than 60 hours of mediation training, most recently participating in the NYCID Mediation Internship.  She currently acts as guardian/trustee for more than 40 incapacitated people and has more than $35,000,000 under management.  She has remained a sole practitioner, so that every client receives the benefit of her insight and knowledge on a one-on-one basis.
