Amazing professionalism and ethics

Some of the most worst moments happen when we need to retain a lawyer. I searched for months and talked to so many attorneys before I decided on Dimitri. I first asked Dimitri, "What type of dirt do we need to dig up for my case?" Dimitri responded: "I am sorry, I don't play those games. If there... is something there, then we will fight and show; but I am not in the business for creating anything." I was inspired by his ethics. I spent the next 6 years back and forth with my crazy situation - several new cases along the way. In each instance, Dimitri not only delivered but he was there to coach and guide me through the many layers of family court and custody battle. Ultimately, after years of fighting; I now have 60% custody of my daughter with all decisions allowed to me so ordered by the courts. Thank you Dimitri!!!!!

Mission accomplished

I was referred to the law firm of Liou & Maisonet coincidentally while seeking real estate advice from a realtor. Which until today I strongly believe it was the will of God that guided me to that law firm, which not only fought fairly for the well fare of my children & I, but also embraced/reassure...d, encouraged & motivated me throughout my stressful divorce process. From the first day I spoke to Mr Maisonet over the phone we connected spiritually & I perceived him as more than just being my lawyer. Mr Maisonet is very professional, passionate about his work, very educated/resourceful, calm/patient & above all treated me like family. My divorce process had many dark terrors, but Mr Maisonet was fully equipped to overcome them all triumphantly. I’m extremely happy about my divorce outcome & highly recommend Mr Maisonet to everyone that’s seeking an excellent lawyer.

Highly Recomended

Great lawyer, very loyal and dedicated to his work. Mr Maisonet processed my divorce in 2010 and represented me in 3 hearings ( child support, relocation and order of protection) for 18months. He took time to explain all legal matters to me. He very articulate at his work. I came to a victory with ...all 3 cases. He is an amazing lawyer. I highly recomend him.

I Lost My Children Due to this Man's Incompetence.

When did the failure start? Probably when i first heard Dimitri's stammering voice. His amateurish writing and thuggish demeanor were a good tip off, but the poor quality of his submissions to the court and his complete lack of rebuttal to every false allegation made by my wife's attorney. After i...o was assaulted by my wife Dimitri advised me to seek a protection order in Family court, Many more experienced lawyers upon hearing what he advised me to do have said the same thing. This BAD advice cost me the case. The judge feeling usurped of his jurisdiction, turned against Mr Maisonet, from which Dimitri was incapable of recovery. This should have been an easy case. I was assaulted, there were Domestic Intervention orders, but Dimitri Maisonet's gross incompetence has handed my children to an abusive alcoholic. And to Cap it off His law firm unannounced to me withdrew $2000 from my bank account two days before a court date. ( they had my banking information on file) Truly one of the worst experiences of my life was dealing with this incompetent person. His damage is near impossible to undo.
