Great law firm!

Mario and his team is caring and efficient. They make you feel comfortable when speaking with you and they take the time to answer all of your questions. Mario is very knowledgeable of the law. He will advise you correctly and will always make your needs a priority. In court he will stand up and ...and advocate your wants and needs in a way that will be heard, never pushing you into a decision that is not your own. If you need representation, someone who will put you first look no further.

The best!

Mario just helped close my case and I must say I was impressed! I’ve spoke to many attorneys before him and I can confidently say that he is the best out there. I only wish I found him sooner. He has such a great soul and genuinely wants nothing but the best for his clients.

Mario J. DeRossi...The Best of the Best! Outstanding Attorney, class act all the way!

I was referred to Mario DeRossi by a friend, as I had a hard time finding an attorney that I trusted & had confidence in. From our first consultation, I was extremely impressed with Mario's knowledge, sincerity and professionalism, and he guided me in the right direction from beginning to end! If you... want great representation with a very knowledgable, caring, and professional attorney to settle your case fairly, I very highly recommend Mario. He assured me that although I was from Staten Island, and his firm was on Long Island, he would give my case the proper attention it needed and move it along. I settled quickly! At the end even the judge complimented Mr. DeRossi for his elegance and grace throughout my case. I settled like a lady! Thank you Mario DeRossi

Highly Recommended

I highly recommend Mario DeRossi. He represented me in a divorce case that recently settled. I was very glad to have him in my corner during such a difficult time in my life. He represented me with great skill, passion and integrity. He knows the law very well and did an excellent job explain...ing it to me. He consistently sought to avoid unnecessary legal bills for me. For example, at one point my wife filed a frivolous motion in a court that had no jurisdiction. Rather than going to court with me and causing me to potentially incur thousands in fees, he told me how to get it dismissed on my own, which I was able to do. From seeing his interaction with his fellow matrimonial attorneys at Suffolk County Supreme Court, it was evident that he knows most of them well and has their trust and respect. He worked extremely hard over the final weekend of the case to achieve a reasonable settlement and avoid a costly trial.
