I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional work Ms. Restivo did in handling my daughter’s case. Your dedication, professionalism, and expertise made a tremendous difference, and we are incredibly thankful for the successful outcome. Throughout the entire process, your gui...dance and clear communication gave us confidence and peace of mind during what could have been a very stressful time. It was evident that you genuinely cared and put in the effort needed to achieve the best possible result. Please accept our heartfelt thanks for your hard work and commitment.

Carmen Restivo was my custody/visitation attorney for over a year. Ms. Restivo is an experienced professional committed to attaining the best outcomes. Her style is direct, firm, and practical; there is a human side that comes through in her work and I appreciate that. I was able to get all I hoped ...for because of her guidance and dedication.

I was assigned this lawyer in manhattan family court . This lawyer would not contact me prior to court cases , she would yell in court or be completely silent and not provide any defense or facts. It is extremely hard to get in touch with this lawyer . When you do speak to her , her kids are in the b...ack ground or it’s loud so you are not granted any privacy. She suggest things with no follow up or explanation and most importantly does not offer actual legal advice . She’s very cold and does not seem to care about the situation or what is in the best interest of the child / best outcome . Once she randomly stopped to ask me if I was recording her call which seemed extremely sketchy . I do not recommend this lawyer and if she is assigned please follow up / stay on top of things or you’ll get lost in the system and with a bad outcome . Remember this is a case to her but your life! So make sure you handle it correctly . I was not happy with this lawyer and not sure if she will correctly represent anyone assigned to her .
