Michael James Confusione

I had pleasure to speak with Michael only once. But I do have experience of working with a number of other lawyers and feels very confident in making a comparison. I am in the process of a high conflict divorce for almost 4 years that has destroyed emotional and psychological well being of every...one, including 4 children. Unfortunately, all lawyers, mediators and even Judges, who can be knowledgeable but they just don’t care about this aspect of the problem. I found whole legal system of NJ as extremely oppressive rather than helpful. Until a victim of the offense concedes to the offender and willing to accept all bullying and gaslighting, this legal system won't do anything. No one would even listen to such a victim of manipulation and abuse, who will ultimately be forced to subdue to offender, via a bullying process, known as mediation. NJ family court is really a banana republic. The one who can bully will gain. The one who will be a good law abiding citizen will lose. The offender would want to prolong in lust of power of abuse and to enjoy ability to inflict the torture. The attorneys would want the same as victims of abuse are a source of regular income... The children will be a collateral damage due to undue delay by the legal experts including attorneys and the Judge. Therefore, the Judge and attorneys will be on same page with the offender to deny all facts and to reject all evidences related to harms and damages that occured to the children due to undue prolongation of high conflicts divorce. Victim will be all alone to complains about abuse and manipulation in desperation to find relief but no one is there to provide and there will tons of shut up calls. Michael is definitely a different voice. He has empathy and sincerity of a good man. Other law experts that I have worked with including mediators and Judges are completely devoid of this empathy. They won't even acknowledge one's right of free will and it won't be a big deal for them if such rights been abrogated every day.

Initially stated he could do the case, but was vague with what we had to " fight" with. So I paid a good amount of money to review case after he said what petitions he could file and requested a retainer. After expressing concerns in regards to retaining him and not knowing how he would approach the ...case, ie: what was our argument. He stated an entirely different view and said he doesn't think he should work on the case. And I'm unrealistic with outcomes for criminal cases. Just unethical to take and request more money and you don't see yourself as an attorney being successful. He stated " middle class" needs to be careful with money with criminal cases. I would not recommend him, I had multiple other concerns just to much to write. I never do reviews but hopefully this will save someone money and time.

Integrity, Passionate, Skillful, Intelligent, and Advocate for Justice are words that describe Mr. Confusione! My case that eventually brought me to contact Mr. Confusione, was an eight year ordeal that ended in a grossly unjust result to me. That experience left me disenfranchised with our legal sy...stem and disgusted that very little ethics seemed to exist in the legal profession. How disappointing it was to learn that the integrity and passion for justice that Atticus Finch had in my favorite book, To Kill a Mockingbird, didn’t exist in real life. Until I met Mr. Confusione. I’d almost given up on justice, but took one last chance and contacted Mr. Confusione. Not only did he immediately grasp the complex issues of my case and knew exactly how to address them, it was apparent I found an attorney who had a passion for justice. Michael is vigilant about the rule of law and is a strong advocate for Justice. He is a rare and wonderful example of what the profession should be. Michael’s honesty, integrity and honorable character are exactly what New Jersey needs sitting behind the bench! Thank you for your decency, dedication to my case, restoring my faith in our justice system, and giving me the opportunity to finally get justice. You are exceptional. Forever grateful, Donna A.
