Best choice I made!

Getting divorced is an unpleasant experience: a marriage ends, families are torn apart, and lifestyles change. As someone who has been been in matrimonial litigation for eight years, I consider myself to have above average experience and knowledge for a layperson. Joe Maceri wasn’t my first attor...ney but he was my last, as he capably brought my case to a very favorable conclusion for me in a timely manner. Joe is both a capable attorney and a good counselor, which is more important than you may appreciate today. While Joe tries to resolve issues amicably through compromise outside the courtroom, sparing significant fees, emotions, and distress, he is very effective in front of the Judge. He is accessible and he will keep fees reasonably low by not wasting your time (and money) with meaningless back-and-forth communication that doesn’t move your case along but increases expenses. So my advice is this: 1). Try to stay married, especially for the children’s benefit. 2). Failing that, have Joe Maceri represent you. He will guide you through the process compassionately, benefiting you psychologically and monetarily, to put a difficult chapter behind you expeditiously.

The Best there is.

I called Mr. Maceri to consult about my spouse filing for divorce, he had me come in. He advised me to take certain action, which helped greatly, and when it came time to be in court, he was able to get my children back to me. His positive atutude and excellent advise brought positive results to my... case. He was able to make the truth shine through, and getting all the false charges dropped. He is an excellent lawyer, honest, honerable, sincere, he has great ethics and a great track record. His only interest is in the best outcome for his client. This is how I knew he was the right person for this case. In one of our conversations, he expressed this idea to me. It is better to help a couple resolve there issues, if possible, then help them destroy there marrage. This trait alone is paramount in an individuals personality, especially when it comes to dealing with such sensitive issues. His kindness and understanding, and avalibility goes above and beyond the call of duty. If you need a family lawyer, you want Joseph Maceri esq. In your corner and on your side. God Bless.

Trustworthy

I hired Mr. Maceri to represent me in the matter of newer ending alimony case. Living in California, I was able to communicate with my lawyer only by phone or emails; which added a lot of stress. Mr. Maceri won without a long battle and kept his promise regarding the price. I also wanted to add, th...at his assistant, Ms.Rita was very good at communicating and keeping me up to date with my case.

Straight Shooter

If you are looking for a lawyer who really cares about his clients without milking money, is a straight shooter and having out of the box ideas then Mr Joseph Maceri is the lawyer you want. Joe represented me in a family case and brought the case to closure within couple of months. If I need attorney... services again I would not hesitate single bit to have him represent me again.

Kind and Understanding Lawyer

Joe Maceri is not only professional, patient, extremely knowledgeable about matrimony law, he is also sincere when dealing with both parties. He always answered all of my questions with kindness and patience, especially when going through troublesome times. I would highly recommend Joe and have ref...erred many to him in the past, all of whom were very grateful because of his thoroughness. He is an excellent lawyer and would use him again, if needed.
