If you're READING this, call. AMAZING attorney.

If you need a family law attorney that will bend over backwards for you Neil is one of the best. He absolutely crushed my case to the point where the opposition just crumbled to pieces. If you want response time, professional advise, knowledge, and commitment then call him immediately if you're... in the tri-state and or especially Middlesex County seeking help on family matters. Thanks Counselor Cerreto. A++.

THE BEST LAWYER!!!

Aniello is fair, caring, and very knowledgeable. My divorce was not an easy one, but he stood by me as a client and made sure the settlement was fair. I only knew what was fair he backed it up with his experience and case law. Hire Aniello and you will be very happy with his professional representati...on!

Posted by Michael | February 08, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Thankful and grateful

After eight years of legal losses, harassments, and threats from my ex-wife and her team of lawyers I retained Mr. Aniello Cerreto. This decision was a game changer. I finally had a confident, competent, and knowledgeable attorney. Mr. Cerreto was on time, fully prepared, and countered their argum...ents with ease. He is an attorney with a heart who truly cares about his clients. Mr. Cerreto and I worked together to prepare the necessary legal documents. It was empowering to be part of the process as well as a great experience. Mr. Cerreto was always available to give me direction and the ability to stay the course especially when my ex-wife's attorney attempted to bypass my legal representation and contact me directly. My ex-wife's attorney, who is from a large law firm, threw everything but the kitchen sink at us from his legal playbook to no avail. Mr. Cerreto remained focused on my rights and through his tenacity to stand up to unethical attempts to manipulate the truth, we persevered. I am convinced that it was Mr. Cerreto’s ability to expose their lies that helped us win. Today I am grateful and thankful that I hired Mr. Cerreto to represent me. I highly recommend Mr. Cerreto for your legal needs.

Great Lawyer

have lost case after case with my x for the past several years. I have hired large law firms, small law firms, I have even represented myself a few times but all with the same results, I always lost. Fast forward to the day I hired Aniello to represent me. First he was very confident and knowledgea...ble, his rates were very reasonable and the service and the outcome was AWESOME. I went from losing repeatedly to winning on every point. I wish I met Mr Cerreto 10 years ago, I am sure I would have had a much better outcome. Learn from my mistake and experience, if you need an attorney for divorce, custody or child support hire Aniello Cerreto first. You will thank me later, he was a great find.
