Brian McFadden is an excellent divorce attorney. He was professional, strategic, and always responsive. His guidance and expertise made the entire process much smoother than I expected. I highly recommend his services.

Wonderful, caring attorney

I hired Mr. McFadden-DiNicola to represent me on my matter. He was very thorough and professional. He calmly answered all the questions I had and really understood what I was going through. I absolutely recommend his services.

Posted by Tom | February 22, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Support

Not a good expereince in my case

I hired Brian last year, and despite following his instructions, I'm still paying weekly support for a daughter I have full physical custody of. My money is sent each week, to the Mother who hasn't even seen our daughter in 7 months. Brian has also been unresponsive to most messages left, either b...y phone or e-mail. For the most part, he's only responded when contact is initiated by the attorney who helped me get physical custody, which has been in place for over 6 months . Needing to have one attorney contact another has increased legal fees, on top of the money I continue to have taken in support. While I recognize I have an unusual case, the lack of follow up has been unsettling, considering how long I've been paying this support in a ludicrously unjust situation. I'm sure Brian is typically a good attorney, but for whatever reason, my experience doesn't appear to be up to par.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
