Top Notch Attorney

Excellent Attorney who is very knowledgeable on the law and extremely dedicated to his clients. Tom is trustworthy, fair and mindful of his clients needs and and has a wonderful reputation at court. I interviewed 5-6 attorneys. Those were paid consultations. I selected Tom because he is the best ...one.

Tom is an outstanding attorney and exceeded my expectations during an extremely difficult divorce. He is responsive, knowledgeable and driven to achieve the best possible outcome for his clients. His dedication and unwavering ethics are what every attorney should aspire to possess. I highly recommend... him.

great legal advice and representation

I hired Attorney Piscatelli to represent me in a divorce proceeding and a criminal case case, related to the divorce. His knowledge of both matters was exemplary. He was also highly professional and he exhibited the ability to be understanding and sincere, providing sound legal advice for both of my ...situation. Attorney Piscatelli, either directly, or through his office staff, were always very prompt in responding to my emails, calls or texts. The fees and accounting of the fees were very fair and accurate. All financial transactions were handled with the utmost professionalism and integrity. It was pleasure working with Tom and I gladly use him to refer other friends and clients too when they are in need of a good lawyer.

Quality and honest representation. Rigorously defend his client's best interest.

Going through a contentious divorce is never easy. Especially when up against an unappeaseable ex and her cabal of attorneys hell bent on putting me through the wringer then raking me over the coals. Attorney Tom Piscatelli was the voice of reasoning. After my first conversation, although I felt gre...at about the conversation, I was non-committal since I was still going through my Google rolodex of divorce attorneys. Tom, probably seeing I was still not represented via the docket, reached out to me and after that conversation I was all-in. There were two things I needed from my attorney, personable and aggressive in representing me. He stood toe to toe with their cabal of attorneys and ultimately got me a fair deal according to the court's formulas of determination. He's upfront with his advice and suggestions and that helps when making difficult decisions. He's very knowledgeable and knows how to traverse the process. Trial went a bit longer than I anticipated and he allowed for a payment plan. Highly recommended
