He got me full custody of my son, and I’m a Father.

I retained Mr. Cedeño with little notice ahead of my Family Court Trial. He came highly recommended by a great friend of mine who took notice of Mr. Cedeño abilities as his ex spouse attorney. That says a lot right there considering he wasn’t his own attorney but fighting against him. Mr. Cedeño sat ...down with me, listened to everything and asked me what outcome I was desiring. He showed up before me every court date, ready to go. On his first appearance in White Plains Family Court, he was able to accomplish far more in one day than my previous attorney did in 3 years. On day one he got my TRO dismissed, and I was awarded temporary custody. We know how difficult it is in family court for Fathers or Men to be awarded custody. You’re lucky if you even get visitation these days. With Mr. Cedeño there were no surprises, he explained everything to me up front . He has made trips back and forth to White Plains Family Court with and without me present on my behalf advocating and fighting for my son and I. He has continued to fight for me even now that my case is over. I am truly elated about this experience and now focusing on raising my son and recovering from these last 3 years of Family Court Trauma. I highly recommend Mr. Cedeño and his team, and suggest you articulate what your goal is and any concerns upfront.

Experienced, Competent, Fair, Reliable, Comfortably Down to Earth

Interesting, I met Mr. Cedeno while he was the adversary attorney in my divorce proceeding and again later on an Estate proceeding. Ironically, I became impressed with the Mr. Cedeno’s handling of both cases. Despite being my adversary and showing protection to his client and looking after his clien...ts best interest, I was able to the human side of Mr. Cedeno and his dedication to handle situations in a fairly matter not only for his client but for the best of all. Mr. Cedeno not only stands up for what is fair but is also competent, responsive and understands the importance of providing an excellent quality of service. I have referred Mr. Cedeno to two of my friends and have also had to pleasure of retaining him to represent me on a separate family matter. Based on my experience I can say Mr. Cedeno is thorough in carefully providing thoughtful legal options and emphasizing his client’s rights as well as providing the information needed to make informed decisions. His advice is always sound and rational. Mr. Cedeno does not sugar coat things to his clients by telling what they want to hear rather what the truth is. His no nonsense approach, coupled with his, in-depth knowledge of divorce law, are second to none. He is assertive with his adversaries in reaching a fair and equitable outcome avoiding having to go through litigation whenever possible. Mr. Cedeno’s services are fairly priced and his experience and knowledge combined with his total familiarity of the court system is instrumental in achieving a successful outcome.

NYC Top notch Attorney! Grateful to have him represent me!

I was charged with domestic violence with a protective/restraining order and my wife also filed for divorce with an unreasonable take on all my commercial assets and properties. Mr. Peter Cedeno was able to help me very successfully with all three. I really appreciate the work he did for me. Pete...r is an outstanding attorney to have by your side specially in times of crisis and uncertainty I would recommend him to family, friends and colleagues.

Great Attorney

I was desperately looking for a good attorney, the best I can find. A friend of mine, who was a former client of Peter L. Cedeno and associate's, PC highly recommended them to me and in particular Mr. Peter Cedeno. I am so grateful that she did. After listening to me intensely and seeing my supporti...ng documents Mr. Cedeno explained the entire process to me, along with strategy and the strengths and weaknesses of my case. Mr. Peter Cedeno explained the strategic plan to accomplish my goals.At court Mr. Cedeno executed the plan exactly as he stated he would. Peter promptly returned my telephone calls and responded to my emails. I was notified of all communications between counsel and I always knew what was going on in my case. Peter explained to me what would be occurring at the court hearings and took the time to go over everything again prior to the hearing. I was never caught off guard because Peter always prepared me beforehand. Ultimately, the strategic plan that he came up with worked and I achieved my goals. Peter Cedeno and his staff worked very hard on my behalf and honestly billed me for the time it took to do the work. My experience with Peter and his firm is that they are honest, hardworking, and truly fight for their clients. I recommend her to anyone who is going through a divorce, child support or custody matter.
