Review

Had to proofread and correct about 20 things in the document. It really was someone else’s document that they revised for us but left in the old clients information that did not pertain to us. Errors in billing also. Walked in one day and the secretary was working on the document at front d...esk - not the lawlyer. Charged lawlyer price.

Highly recommend

Ms Depalo is very knowledgeable as well as compassionate. She walked me through my separation step by step and made sure that there were no questions unanswered. I highly trust that she has my best interest at heart. I recommend Ms Depalo and her staff.

Understanding and fair

My husband's attorney in legal separation. She worked with my attorney and all went well. She sees things the way they really are. Very compassionate and fair. Highly recommend her.

Highly Recommend

Getting a divorce after 25 years is not an easy decision,, but from the time I first met with Anne-Louise DePalo, I began to feel that it was possible. Anne-Louise is not only knowledgeable and professional, but she understands her clients' emotional needs as well. You begin to feel that you have a... friend in your corner who will fight for you all the way. After Anne-Louise explained to me the differences between a collaborative divorce and litigation, we opted for the collaborative way. We were able to have a say in all the decisions without having to go to court and have an unknown judge decide our future. In the long run I believe it saved us time and money as well as making this very difficult time a little bit easier. We even met via Zoom during a pandemic! In shor,t I highly recommend Anne Louise DePalo and her accommodating staff at SI Collaborative Law to help you get through one of the most trying times in your life.

Save Your Money

Ms. Depalo only has one way of defending her clients, it's either her way or no way. She represented me with the intention of what was best for her schedule. Also her personality is cold as ice. Unfortunately, I was a casualty of her actions. As a client, you are paying them, not the other way around....
