Kevin Craig Massaro’s Reviews

I was in need of an attorney last minute as my normal attorney had a family emergency. Kevin stepped in and really learned my case and represented me in trial. He helped get me much needed additional time with my son and helped provide me with helpful advise! He really did me a huge favor by putting in the time to successfully represent me on short notice!

Mr. Massaro assisted me during a difficult time in my life. I had separated from my wife of 24 years & needed advice as to the consequences of a divorce. In clear, straightforward language, Kevin took me through the divorce legal procedure and all the legal issues, including fees & costs.Especially helpful was Kevin's explanation of the maintenance issue, what used to be called alimony. Kevin did not make unrealistic promises, as so many lawyers seem to do at the initial consultation stage, but instead laid out probable outcomes, pros and cons & did so in a patient & caring way.
My wife & I ultimately reconciled, but I owe Kevin a real debt of gratitude for helping me when things looked pretty bleak. I have referred Kevin to others--including my son regarding a child custody issue--all of whom have thanked me profusely for steering them to an honest, plain- speaking lawyer with heart.

Kevin was the perfect blend of professional legal counsel and concern for me as a human being. Ending a long term marriage was extremely painful and I resided primarily in emotion. I honestly just wanted the agony to end. Kevin, while remaining sensitive of my emotion, executed an agreement that provided financial security for my future. When undisclosed assests were found after the divorce, Kevin addressed the issue promptly and followed through until all assests were legally divided. Kevin is extremely knowledgeable and answered ALL my questions. I never felt my intellience was questioned and always felt my dignity remained intact. Kevin is a man of integrity and quality character. I would highly recommend Kevin for your legal needs.

1000 times over I will recommend Mr Massaro! He was honest and hard working throughout the entire divorce process. Absolutely the best outcome, far beyond what I had expected!

I was referred to Kevin by another attorney to handle my divorce. First of all I did not want to deal with the whole issue of divorce. I had my initial meeting with Kevin and described my situation and after listening to me intently for a couple of hours, he alleviated my fears and told me not to worry about a thing. Months later and after a lot of hand holding, I was out of that very painful situation and out of it with my dignity and my assets. There is no question that Kevin Massaro was instrumental in my obtaining a favorable decision and more importantly in me keeping my sanity through a very difficult time.

As a retired military officer and senior federal government employee in a unique position which warranted strict confidentially & sensitivity to my position’s demands; I had unique requirements for the attorney I selected to represent me; specifically I needed an attorney with a track record of success with military pensions, and an attorney who has spent a lot of time in the courthouse. Basically someone who understands how the system works, has seasoned experience with particular judges and their viewpoints, and most important an attorney who possessed a record of success in negotiations with favorable outcomes. In summary, Kevin and his legal staff were very successful in all my legal needs; while at the same time being very understanding of my personal needs, especially during the height of my roller coaster ride of emotions. In close, if you desire a favorable outcome you need Kevin & his team in your corner.

I would highly recomend Kevin as an attorney. He is of high moral character. He worked hard on my divorce allowing my ex and I to remain amicable thrrough the process.

I dismissed my first lawyer and hired Kevin Massaro to take over my divorce and custody case. The difference between the two was night and day. Rather than being ignored, Kevin or his paralegal returned my calls and answered my emails quickly. They were both supportive, knowIedgable and on top ov everything. I was very happy with the outcome and even though I assumed that we could have to go to trial, Kevin was able to help me achieve a very reasonable and fair settlement that was more than I expected. I am happy that I was referred to this firm and have recommended them to my friends.

Do not use him at all. Racked up bills like crazy even after I requested him to stop working on my case. I had over a 8000 dollar bill and nothing even was done. Would not truthfully tell me what was happening on the other side of the case. Tried to give me relationship advice and treated me as a child though I am 30 years old. Yelled at me and hung up the phone on me. Whatever you do use someone else.

I had interviewed several attorneys before going with Kevin. He seemed direct and forceful. I thought that would be beneficial to have for my Counsel. However, he was like that with me.

He filed documents with the Court without letting me review them. A few times, when I asked to review a document and asked for some changes, he got angry and said, "I'm not going to keep doing this." I felt bullied and intimidated.

Since I was leaving a marriage partner who was bullying and intimidating, it took me a while to realize what was happening and that I didn't need to put up with this (especially if I'm paying for it!).

Fortunately, I found a new attorney. The difference in my working relationship between Kevin and my new attorney was extreme. The new attorney was tough yet professional and did not send any correspondence to Court without my review and agreement. We have mutual respect and fought a good case in a very contentious divorce matter. This would have been impossible with Kevin.

I hired Kevin Massaro on a recommendation from one of the Harris Law firm's paralegals. During the inital consultation he came across as someone who was very confident in his family law skills. When we went to court, he told me to meet him 1 hour early in the courhouse cafeteria. Mr. Massaro never showed up in the cafetaria. Instead, he showed up just a few minutes prior to the hearing outside the courtroom. His clothes were rumpled, and his tie was loosened and he was unprofessional looking. During the hearing, I was shocked at how unprepared he was. He had no opening argument, and let the opposing counsel run all over him. I would not recommend him to anyone, even on the smallest case.

Mr. Massaro seamed good in the initial consultation however when it came time to actually represent me he dropped the ball and ultimately damaged my case. He was not prepared and openly and in front of the judge and the opposing counsel criticized me very harshly. My opponent later said that what he did was inappropriate. Later he yelled at me for letting him be "surprised" in front of the judge, I told him on several occasions all the details both verbally and in writing. He even told me what I would agree to which in the end was exactly the opposite reason I hired him in the first place. He is not worth the money and not worth your time. His law firm The Harris Law Firm supposedly had a "good" reputation but they to seamed very sketchy to me. He did more damage to my case than good, actually he did not do any good. He lied in telling me that he knew both the opposing counsel and the judge very well, when we got into court neither of them recognized him, he had to explain at length to the opposing counsel how they knew each other and the judge had never even heard of him. His responses to me were short, vague and meaningless.
