Divorce and Alimony case resolved to the best outcome

Lucy Agostini was my attorney for my divorce process. She helped me get clarity and realistic expectations . She had a very good insights about the other side, which brought an effective strategy that helped me receive a fair monetary compensation and divisions of assets. I was impressed with her ...theral research of the case and smart calculations of possible outcomes. Unlike many other divorce attorneys, she didn't procrastinate the resolution of the case and saved me much aggravation and expenses. Beyond her being a brilliant attorney , she is ethical and caring . I hired her again when I needed to reinstate an alimony that was in rears. Again, her strategy and wise analysis of the other side situation, won the case which ended up in court. In my work as a family therapist I hear about many divorce disputes that could have been resolved much more effectively and fairly if Lucy Agostini was involved.

I couldnt have asked for more...

When my marriage to the “man of my dreams” suddenly disintegrated, I didn’t know what to do. I am eternally grateful that my therapist referred me to Lucy Agostini. My initial consult convinced me that Lucy would capably handle my quirky divorce. Lucy did not exploit opportunities to incur add...itional fees; rather, she guided me in the completion of certain administrative tasks, supported by her fabulous assistant Lisa, in order to preserve my retainer. Lucy resolved my divorce efficiently and the outcome was more favorable to me than I had expected. I would not hesitate to work with Lucy and Lisa again. In fact, I’ve repeatedly recommended Lucy to others who either utilized her services or wished they had!

Divorce and separation lawyer | Jul 23

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Lucy Agostini is as tenacious and hard working as a lawyer can get. She is relentless in her advocacy for her client, yet as an adversary she is approachable and open minded about helping the parties reach a settlement. In the case I had with her she spent 8 hours at my office, on a Sunday, with her client, my client and me in order to work out an agreement related to a marriage of 35 years. If you need an expert in divorce and/or family law and want an attorney that is well respected by her peers and the Courts then Lucy Agostini is for you."

Mediation lawyer | May 12

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Lucy Agostini mediated a highly adversarial, highly complex and contentious divorce matter wherein I represented the plaintiff.  Opposing counsel and I litigated the matter for approximately 2 years prior to engaging Lucy's services as a mediator.  The matter ultimately settled in mediation.  From that experience, I can attest to Lucy's high level of skill and effectiveness as a mediator.  Lucy's comprehensive knowledge of complex financial issues, especially those involving stocks, left both sides feeling that we achieved a fair and satisfactory result.  I highly recommend Lucy as a mediator."
