Litigation 35%

I have been a litigator for almost 15 years. Experienced in all phases of pre-trial, motion and trial practice. I pride myself on my knowledge and application of the rules of evidence and procedure. The key to litigation is oftentimes more what a function of what you are able to keep out of the record rather than what you can get into the record. Unlike most lawyers, I have actually tried hundreds of cases in the last 15 years.

At one time, this subject area accounted for more than half of my practice. In that time, I became certified as a Child Welfare Law Specialist - the only such certification of its kind in the country. Currently, there are only about 500 lawyers in the United States so designated.

Actually -1 stars

I will not go into details of my case in which Mr. Giacomi basically stole 15,000.00 from me. by stole i mean I gave him a check and signed a contract and he became unavailable and did nothing on my case for 6 months at which time I began to pursue him thru the courts. Research lawyers before using. ...This one had a bad record which I did not find out about as others had not until too late. That is why I am writing this. To alert people to his dishonesty. He has taken others money in a very similar manner.
