Misty A. V. Avallone

I am in the military stationed in Italy, and going through my legal process with this firm felt like they were with me here the whole time. Excellent across the board. Great people to work with and extremely knowledgeable. They made my process as easy as can be. I highly recommend this firm for any l...egal issues. Moving forward, I would not want to deal with anyone else.

I worked with two other experienced lawyers for my post-divorce case before working with Hanan and Misty. The first seemed capable and impressive, but soon passed me off to his less-experienced associate who gave me no real counsel or information to make my decisions. I felt like I was driving with a... passenger in the back seat. The second gave sound counsel and was attentive at first, but soon become very unresponsive. Even opposing counsel couldn't get a hold of him. I can only surmise that he was buried under the work that comes with running a sole practice (he had no associates) or he was dealing with personal matters. I was so desperate at this point that I was ready to forego counsel altogether and let the cards fall. That's when I serendipitously met Misty, who happens to live in my town, through our local copy center. When I sat with Hanan and Misty, it was like a breath of fresh air. They really listened to me, they really got where I was coming from and understood that there is a lot to unpack with divorce law. It's not like patent law; it's sticky and tangled. And they were willing to put in the hard work to unravel it WITH me. They emphasized that we were working on a team. I felt like I had control and power in my decision-making, and simultaneously like I was being wisely advised and directed. They are also on top of things, have the legal answers to your questions, and are tough when called for. I felt quite intimidated by the communications from my ex and opposing counsel, but several times they swooped in with firm words in rebuttal. I felt like I had true protection. Now all this being said, we all worked very hard on this case--very hard, and for the most part it didn't turn out in my favor, but there are many factors that go into the outcomes of legal cases. I know from my experiences with other lawyers and the difference with Misty and Hanan that I got the some of the best counsel out there, and I feel good that I gave it my all. I would definitely use them again.

I hired Misty as my divorce attorney and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made. She represented my interests perfectly and helped me get through a very difficult time in my life. She was always available by email or text to answer my many questions. She’s extremely knowledgeable and thorough but... most importantly, she was compassionate and empathetic to my situation. I would absolutely recommend Misty’s services to anyone in the future.

During a particularly rough patch in my life I needed an attorney that was effective and strong in family law matters. Misty listened to my story, then brilliantly and quickly outlined my options while walking me through the process from start to finish and made me feel like I was not alone and that... she and her team would be there for me step by step. I ever find myself in need of an attorney in the future, I would not hesitate to contact Misty again.
