Very knowledgeable attorney

Ms. Buoneto was the attorney that I hired to help me with my out of state child custody case. She was very knowledgeable and dedicated to my case. Her sincere interest in my case was a welcomed change from previous attorneys. She was always available to answer my phone calls. I would highly recommend... Ms. Buoneto for anyone who needs excellent, genuine representation.

An attorney who isn't afraid of justice

Nanette Buoneto was my angel on heaven, she fought zealously and intelligently on my case. In court she was AMAZING she knew exactly what to do and got me a great settlement on my case. Without Ms. Buoneto I would have lost all my life savings, and the little bit of hope that I had left. If you want ...an attorney who will represent you tooth and nail then she is the attorney you need to hire! Attorney Buoneto and her husband Steve have represented many members of my family and it is always a positive outcome, we are highly satisfied, and we highly recommend there services.

Posted by Heather | October 10, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Family

An amazingly intelligent attorney on many aspects of the law, there should be a ten star option because five is not enough.

Nanette Ida Buoneto represented me in a relocation case so I could leave the state with my son while working out a reasonable schedule of visitation for his father. She put in many hours between discussing case with me and my ex-husband's attorney and because of her extensive knowledge and I believe,... her professional and friendly affect, we were able to come to an agreement that factored in everyone's wishes and my ex husband and I left the court happy with our agreement, still on friendly and amicable terms. She is not an attorney to fuel any animosity between parties involved, which saves a lot of time, money and limits the stress for all involved. Instead she will help reduce her clients stress and anxiety by taking the time to explain the legal terminology and your options in a calm demeanor that makes you realize you can put your trust in her since she is highly intelligent and educated & genuinely cares about case outcomes, not bc it is a victory for her but bc she cares about her clients. She also has the foresight to think about things you haven't even thought of, things that can affect the present and future. Nobody enjoys family court, even when parties are amicable, and I hope to never need to go back there but if I do there is no doubt it is Nanette I would want by my side. I will forever recommend her to anyone dealing with a family law matter.

Nanette Buoneto is awesome!

I first meet Nanette 15 minutes before my hearing, my firm asked her to assist when they couldnt make the appearence. I gave her a summary of my defense and she asked me a few questions before she went in and WON! I was - still am amazed! She is very professional, direct, in control and to the point.... I felt guided & cared for. To not even know me, or anything about my case and be able to argue and win against a high paid well prepared lawyer who's been working on their case for months. Impressive. I would highly recommend Nanette & as you can imagine I left me old firm and signed with her and her husband Steve Metcalf immediately. They make a great team honest caring and diligent.

"I’ve had the opportunity to know Ms. Buoneto for nearly 6 years and that’s a sufficient time to truly know someone. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, I’ll tell you she’s the smartest, most diligent and hardworking lawyer I know. She’s one of the few divorce attorneys to have received both a Juris Doctor and a Masters of Law in Dispute Resolution. She attended the #1 Dispute Resolution Program in the country at Pepperdine University School of Law and is licensed to practice in NY and CA. She has superior research skills, exceptional writing ability and excellent analytical talents. She’s able to process volumes of information to formulate effective strategies and courtroom techniques. She’s a lawyer with superb judgment, pragmatic and doesn’t waste client’s time nor money. She’s an endless source of great legal advice and support, both personally and professionally. I warmly recommend Ms. Buoneto. I believe her work would, not only meet, but exceed your expectations."
