Excellent representation

Attorney Maffeo represented me in a difficult family and child custody case. Working with him made this case tolerable by providing sound legal advise and being understanding throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Attorney Maffeo to anyone seeking competent and aggressive legal represent...ation.

Aggressive,Reliable,Courteous and Understanding

I used Attorney Maffeo to handle my divorce and child custody matter. Mr. Maffeo aggresively pursued my interests by providing sound legal advise and making sure I was awarded everything I was entitled to. I would highly recommend calling Attorney Maffeo if you are going through a difficult divorce. ...The personal attention I received made an extremely trying period in my life much easier to deal with.

Great result from DUI/DWI incident

Recently Attn. J. Maffeo represented me for a DUI/DWI hearing. His keen understanding of the in's and out's of the legal system saved me enormous time and money. My ability to drive a motor vehicle was salvaged from an extended 12 month loss of liscense to 6. I whole heartedly give my endorsement fo...r his service to the public in all areas of law.
