Thank you Greatly Ms Scarlato.

Successful Custody Battle

In my quest to hire a family attorney for a children custody case, numerous attorneys I interviewed with were not inclined to accept my case due to the rare conditions involving my situation. They simply told me that I don’t have a winning chance for this case and left me feeling disheartened. Upo...n interviewing with Ms. Scarlato, I immediately noticed how attentive and intrigued she was about my situation. Although she honestly and frankly explained that I would have a slim chance of winning the case, she didn’t discourage me like the others. She explained that this case will be a challenge but she helped me understand what we would need to prove in order to have a strong chance of winning the case. I retained her services and worked closely with her for the few years this case lasted. We eventually won the case and I have legal custody of the children. I honestly believe this outcome would not have been achieved if it weren’t for Ms. Scarlato. Ms. Scarlato is a great attorney with professional and respectable work ethics toward you and anyone she works with on behalf of your case. She is honest, candid, determined and most of all, passionate about you and your situation. Ms. Scarlato was my avid advocator and I trust her wholeheartedly. Ms. Scarlato is the family attorney you would need to have represent you if you wish to have a strong chance of winning. I highly recommend Ms. Scarlato for your legal advice/needs, as she is the best out there.

It was satisfying on a professional level to be able to help Aunts gain custody of their nieces and nephews and on a personal level to see that the children are so well taken care of by their Aunts.

great lawyer

Arriving at child support court realizing your ex hired a lawyer is unsettling. Spoke to many lawyers and Mrs Scarlato made me feel comfortable and above all confident. I would definitely say if you need a lawyer hire Mrs. Scarlato.

Top of the class

Angela Scarlato represented me in a Divorce action several years ago. I won Custodial Parent rights of my Minor Child at the time and Angela was able to work out a Fair Settlement for both myself and my ex wife. Angela also was retained to assist me with a Family Court Matter successfully again. ... Angela is a Professional of the highest caliber and would also provide life advise when needed at no additional cost. Thank you Angela for your Professional Services through one of the most difficult times in my life. Respectfully and Grateful. Ford W.
