Tom Roberto was extremely professional, well informed & accessible for all the issues that occurred during our divorce. We had a complicated case…with potential for it to take a long time to resolve, but Tom kept things moving forward and really listened to what I wanted to focus on. I highly recommend Tom Roberto!
After I experienced my personal life changing tsunami, and having lost faith in the legal system that demonized adult men of color, I’d adopted a fatalistic attitude to everything about the family courts and lawyers in general. For one last try, and with little expectation, I reached out to Tom’s firm, and thank God I did. I was exceedingly fortunate that this kind and empathetic gentleman walked through the conference room door — he listened to me attentively, as I blabbered away (probably incoherently) at my problems, was non judgemental, and assured me that there is always a path forward, hard as it may seem. Tom helped me navigate the vagaries of a system that I’d grown to loathe, and restored my faith in what was possible. He was not just a lawyer, but a listening ear, going above and beyond, keeping me informed of every aspect of my cases, finding innovative solutions to challenges and always responsive to the thousands of questions I had. And although my case was not resolved in our jurisdiction, he was kind enough to point me in the direction of where I would get help of similar quality.
I will continue to work with Tom on the aspects of my case that will be litigated/resolved in our jurisdiction. I cannot recommend Tom any higher.

Worked with me to handle my concerns
I'm sure all divorces are unique, and mine was no exception. I had an uncontested divorce where we were both amicable, but I had two concerns: keeping the cost low and ensuring that things didn't go off the rails during the process. Tom was very sympathetic, heard and understood my concerns, and worked with me to minimize cost and adjust language in the settlement agreement to ensure that there was no inflammatory language. Tom also made himself available for questions and concerns.
The divorce went very smoothly, and I am thankful to Tom for everything he did to help make that happen.

Exceptional Legal Representation
I spoke with 10 different divorce lawyers in the Cherry Hill area and after vetting and my own personal interviews, I chose Thomas Roberto. Thomas is not only experienced and efficient, he also has a personal approach that eased my mind every day. Thomas overcame obstacles to speed up the process and turned a tumultuous divorce into a quick settlement. I recommend Thomas to anyone going through family issues and especially divorce. He’s not only my lawyer but my friend. 10/10 stars!

If you are looking for a real SHARK, Tom is your guy.
If you are looking for the best divorce Attorney, Tom is the guy.
I recently had the privilege of working with Tom, a remarkable family law attorney who provided outstanding legal services. I cannot express enough how grateful I am for their professionalism, expertise, and genuine concern for me.
From the initial consultation, it was evident that Tom possessed a deep understanding of family law matters. They patiently listened to my concerns, asking thoughtful questions to gain a comprehensive understanding of my situation. Their ability to empathize with the emotional complexities of my case was truly remarkable.
Throughout the entire legal process, Tom displayed unwavering dedication and commitment. They meticulously researched my case, leaving no stone unturned, and provided me with a clear and concise plan of action. His attention to detail was exceptional, ensuring that every legal document was prepared accurately and efficiently.
What truly sets Tom apart is their excellent communication skills. They promptly returned my calls and emails, addressing any concerns or questions I had along the way. Tom consistently kept me informed about the progress of my case, providing updates and explaining legal concepts in a way that was easy for me to understand.
One of the most impressive aspects of Tom's representation was their ability to maintain a calm and composed demeanor, even in the most challenging situations. They skillfully navigated negotiations, always prioritizing my family's best interests while maintaining a respectful and professional approach with all parties involved.
Not only did Tom possess exceptional legal skills, but he also demonstrated a genuine care for my family's well-being.

A LAWYER WELL BEYOND THE NORM…
I sometimes had to stop and think…is Mr. Roberto really a lawyer? After two horrid experiences, I was fortunate enough to find Tom. I’m a worrier, and envision the worst case scenarios. I would email Tom, and immediately I’d get a call from him willing to console me. This happened many, many times. My case has ended, but I’m going to miss Tom. He is a breath of fresh air, plus he fights for you and gets the job done. You will not be disappointed, believe me. If you’re suffering and you need a family law attorney, don’t hesitate. Call Thomas Roberto!

Pleasant Experience
I hired Mr. Thomas Roberto to help with a custody arrangement. He was a true professional. After hearing my situation and what I was trying to achieve I believe he gave good advice and recommendations. Both he and his associate, Mr. Ryan Foran, replied to my correspondence in a timely manner. Mr. Roberto was quick to prepare documents and file them with the court. I would recommend his services.

Tom took the time to explain the logistics of my case and how things could play out. He is very knowledgeable of family law, very professional and extremely humble. He did not hesitate at all to keep me informed as to what he was doing and the next would be.
I’m so thankful that my friend referred him to me.
PS: Tom’s legal assistant Mark is awesome as well.

Thank you for everything!
During my long and stressful divorce, Thomas Roberto was my rock. He was my voice of reason, my partner through the process, and #1 supporter and advocate. Tom is extremely knowledgeable and was always upfront about everything. No empty promises, no showy loud-mouth antics (like my ex’s lawyer), and he was always professional when others were not. Tom constantly checked in with me and made sure I was ok with every decision before it was finalized. His legal advice during the process of child custody, parenting time, child support, alimony, etc was invaluable. He thoroughly explained the sometimes unexpected consequences of common divorce mistakes, and prevented me from doing the same. Tom would make himself available whenever I needed him. He was also mindful and fair regarding billing. Thank you for everything, Tom!!

Excellent attorney
Thomas Roberto is not only an expert in family court he is also an absolute blessing to me and my family. I had previously spent 7 long disappointing years in and out of family court over a custody battle of my two daughters. I've gone through a decent amount of attorneys in that time frame. I’ve previously hired what was said to be, “the best of the best attorney”, the “aggressive in the courtroom” attorney, even the, “they know the Judge well” attorney. Not one of them could accomplish what needed to be done. It was so disappointing going into the courtroom with documents that should have changed our order yet coming out with little to no change. It wasn't until I hired Thomas, that big change happened. Thomas honestly made me feel heard, he paid attention to every detail of my case and was sure to sequence our history effectively. He was strategic, organized, & sharp. He worked quickly and efficiently and I truly appreciated his forward thinking. After 7 years, I went from having to share 50/50 joint legal custody to sole legal custody while being able to relocate with my children from New Jersey to Florida, and I have Thomas to thank for that. He got done what no other attorney could in just a few short months. I almost can't put into words how grateful I am for all of his hard work and for the peace it has brought me and my daughters.

Absolutely Wonderful
I was referred to Tom Roberto by a family friend and I honestly cannot express in words how over the top grateful I am that I had him by my side during one of the hardest and wildest times of my life. Tom was there for me not only as my attorney but as a friend from start to finish. He took every call, text, email with such patience and grace even when my stress level was to the moon. Tom is one of the easiest people to talk to - he is incredibly professional, personable, and extremely knowledgeable. I cannot thank him enough for helping me in so many ways during the divorce process. I would recommend him to anyone in need. He is simply the best. Thank you for everything!

This is your guy… Hard Working, Intelligent and Efficient
I was going thru a difficult and complicated divorce, where there were multiple businesses involved, children and more and a partner that would change their mind every minute. Thomas and his staff were lifesavers. He was extremely efficient, yet had things done quickly and correctly. He always looked out for my best interest and did nothing but fight even when things got complicated. Thomas is very concerned about doing everything he possibly can to protect his clients and is very meticulous about how everything is handled. He makes you feel like you are his only client, so I would highly recommend him to handle any case I would have!

I cannot say enough! Tom was extremely knowledgeable, VERY patient, and always so responsive, while he worked on my (our) prenuptial agreement. Truly a pleasure to work with, answering all of my questions, as well as always explaining in detail all of the legal jargon.
He was totally understanding when we had to postpone our 2020 wedding due to Covid mid-prenup drafting and was so communicative throughout 2020-2021 leading up to our actual wedding and document finalization. I am so appreciative of his clear and efficient communication and attention to detail. 10/10!

Honesty and Integrity
Let me first say that Tom Roberto is the best. He took my case when no one else would. Before finding this firm, I had some horrendous legal representation for my divorce case and the post-divorce cases that followed – it was truly a nightmare.
Briefly, two years post-divorce, my ex-husband decided to file a motion to take primary custody of our three teenage children – citing that I was unstable. In the process, he also succeeded in turning them against me. Up to that point my legal counsel was not protecting me, my children or my personal interests at all – their advice was to just to yield to my ex’s demands. This was devastating to me financially and emotionally. I sought the advice of other legal council but no one would take my case because of how difficult it was and offered no encouragement, recommendation or hope. I was sick about it – literally, it was affecting my health. I was at a point where I trusted no one. I felt helpless. Then I happened to be look at the Internet for law firms and that’s when Tom’s name came up – I looked at his reviews and there was a client that had a very similar situation as mine and he was able to provide her some hope and relief. She gave him a glowing review – I called him immediately, explained my situation, he agreed to take my case and I never looked back. Since then, he and his associate, Kim Greenfield, have really turned my case (and my life) around. When Tom took my case and the massive stacks of paper and the ridiculous nonsense that accompanied this case – he scoured through every last piece of paper that I gave him – he then brought in Kim to assist with the case and they both were able to do what I thought was impossible and turned my case around. They were very patient and kind with me with all my anxiety and hopelessness – they pulled me out of a very dark place. I am grateful.
In conclusion, both Tom is very thorough, has amazing communication skills, is compassionate, patient, honest and practices law ethically, without the mud-slinging – I can go on and on. I am hoping someone reads this – who is struggling legally and probably emotionally that they will see that there truly is hope in it all – there are some truly competent and trustworthy lawyers (Tom is one of them) who cares – I had lost hope but I’m so glad I found him (and Kim) – they really changed my life. [Thank you for reading this – long review. I hope it helps you!]

Great Guy for Tough Times
I heard about Tom through a friend who insisted that if I needed a Divorce Lawyer, this was the guy. I shortly after retained Tom to handle my divorce case. In my case, communications were required to be exclusively through lawyers in order to make any progress with the divorce, so it was especially important that these correspondences preceding the MSA be handled with care. Thru countless irrational communications, Tom maintained composure and conveyed the essence of my input beyond what I was capable of providing at the time. I feel that every correspondence over the Year and a half venture was calculated and concise. Regardless of the difficulties with my case, Tom did a stellar job taking a chaotically irrational situation and guiding me through every turn. To keep it short, Tom successfully nurtured near-impossible communications in order to construct a MSA that both My Ex-Wife and I could comfortably sign.

An amazing professional
I can't say enough wonderful things about Tom. My divorce was the most challenging thing I have gone through and I wouldnt have survived the process if it wasn't for his temperment, knowledge, and professionalism. He was extremely responsive (still is for the little things I need here and there) and thorough -from the first consultation through the end. He truly put the best interest of the kids first and listened to my views. He is not the type of attorney to try and stir the pot for extra fees. If I wanted to "give" on something he made sure I made an educated decision and then supported me. While being a caring attorney, he knew when to push for an important outcome to ensure me and my kids were protected going forward. I rarely make recommendations, but Tom is brillant at what he does and I would recommend him should you need a knowledgable, practical, responsive, caring attorney to assist with your family matters.

Professionalism & Excellence
Tom is an excellent attorney. He helped guide me through a difficult time in relation to my children's custody order. He provided thoughtful, expert counsel and ensured my children were thought of first and foremost through the legal process. As issues arose there was always an email, phone call and quick, consistent communication; this was greatly valued. If future counsel is needed I will absolutely continue to work with Tom Roberto.
