Carmen Rita Restivo

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. We truly appreciate everything you have done for our family.

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 .

Ms. Restivo did a great job representing me during my family court case. I had a very challenging case that was long and exhausting, but Ms. Restivo made me feel as if she had my best interest in mind. As such, I felt as if I was in good hands. Ms. Restivo was patient, thorough, competent and prof...essional. She picked up my phone calls, answered all my questions and kept me informed about scheduled meetings. What I especially liked about Ms. Restivo was her ability to keep me calm. I would definitely recommend Ms. Restivo to anyone who finds him or herself in a similar situation as myself.

Carmen was a very strong advocate for me and my son in Family Court. I was assigned Ms. Restivo after having to switch lawyers mid way through a custody process and she completely turned things around for me. I am a man who ended up with legal custody that should say something. In addition to bei...ng knowledgeable and providing me with clear interpretations of how my situation applied to the law she was very capable at managing the sometimes chaotic atmosphere of family court and ensuring my side was clearly heard. I highly recommend Ms. Restivo without reservations.
