Attorney

I recently had a particularly difficult divorce case with some unique issues that made it hard to settle. By Agreement with the other party we went to conciliation with Eugene Nigro. After several hours of negotiations Atty. Nigro was able to guide us to a fair settlement and a good resolution of a... very difficult case.

Not just a lawyer

I met Gene Nigro in 2005 he help me through my messy divorce. I felt he gave me great advice and got me the fairest settlement that I could get with a nasty x-wife. Over the years as my situation change he was always there for me. Now I have both my children and Gene was there to help me through the ...process. I have always felt like family. Gene has always been there for me like a big brother. I can not thank him enough. I strongly recommended him for any of your legal needs.

Excellent consultation

Mr. Nigro was referred by a friend as an expert in the field and reference for a matter out of his state bar association. He took time from his schedule to review the details with me, considered them thoroughly, and provided insightful suggestions, and gave excellent recommendations. Even though he... was he couldn't be retained, he continued to give excellent advice and guidance throughout the process. If I could have, I would certainly have retained him.

Custody Battle

Mr. Nigro is level headed, thoughtful and helped my ex and I agree upon visitation for our three kids. At times I thought the process would never end but he was the voice of reason. I would recommend him to absolutely anyone. Thank you for a job well done.

Do No Waste Your Time

He was the worst thing that ever happened to me and my family. He took my retainer and then did nothing but tell me to work it out with my ex. He didn't ever file the required paperwork with the court when I was served with divorce papers. He then refused to allow me to retain another attorney in ...his office that I had heard great things about and felt more comfortable dealing with.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
