Mario J. DeRossi

I was referred to Mario by a friend of mine, and from the moment I contacted him I could see that he’d be very easy to deal with and very professional. He showed me that what I’m going through many people have gone through before and that even though this is an emotional process, that will get thr...ough it together, and he was absolutely correct. He instilled confidence from day one is able to bring me through step-by-step. he explained the law and easy to understand manner. I was always able to reach Mario or someone at his office would get back to me in a very timely manner and he would let me know when our communication would have to be in person by phone rather than email. I would highly recommend Mario without reservation as he made a very difficult process seem relatively easy and I got through a very contentious divorce and resolution with his expertise.

Mario expertly & compassionately took me through the arduous process of a child support case. Not only did he keep me informed of what to expect at every turn, but he made sure that I comprehended what was happening and what the possible outcomes were. Additionally I received what I think was the bes...t possible result. I couldn’t be happier with Mario’s services.

A mom at school asked if I had a divorce lawyer yet. I was heavily leaning toward using someone else at the time. She went on to say her divorce lawyer wasn't very good but that her husband's was a real shark. Oh, I'm so sorry, I said. And also, awkwardly, can I get your husband's lawyer's phone numb...er? That's how I came to meet Mario DeRossi. It was love at first zoom. He was knowledgeable, clear, and concise. He had a heart and the no nonsense attitude I knew I needed. As a mom, I thought long and hard about whether or not to divorce. I contemplated staying until our little daughter went to college. In the end, I decided I had to divorce. I was terrified of the custody portion. While I'm not rich, I'm a hard worker and can make more money, but the custody had me paralyzed. I didn't want our daughter to feel like a ping pong ball, etc. so, getting as much custody as possible was my top priority. And Mario succeeded! And with flying colors! He fought for me to gain primary physical custody. I came out better than I'd thought financially. I felt I had a true partner. Mario was on time and on top of things. He came to every call prepared. He answered every email - sometimes just a sentence - but there was always a reliable and informed answer. I could call and make an appointment whenever I wanted. He made himself available. Throughout this whole process Mario has been my secret weapon. When I felt nervous and anxious at night I would revisit our conversations. I remember telling him I was scared we'd have to do 50-50 custody since it seemed preferred by the court, according to Google. He told me I don't do 50-50, that's not how I roll. I would say that to myself over and over. The day of my trial Mario kept me abreast of everything from the moment I woke up. We ended up settling and it was magical - Mario jumped into action and finagled numbers around. He told me this was my life and he would fight for what I wanted and that this was my decision and only my decision. I told him to guide me. I could not be happier with the result. I now have primary physical custody - my top non-negotiable and ended up better than I expected financially. Additionally, Mario was super fair with his billing. I wasn't charged when he read my emails etc (I also was mindful of how much I emailed). I've since recommended Mario to another mom. My whole focus was on our daughter and Mario just got it. He's like your smart friend - the one that's super cool and you love hanging out with but is very busy so you meet while you can and ask everything you can think of. I love Mario. I'm actually sad I don't have to talk with him anymore. But I'm glad to be onto my next chapter. I highly recommend Mario DeRossi. Hiring him to represent me in my divorce was the best decision I made.

I have had a fair amount of legal dealings in business and consider myself a relatively logical independent person. The dynamics of family law feel much different to me, there are emotions involved, decisions are complicated, compromise is often inevitable, and the results have a material impact on ...many lives. The best course of action is not always clear, it can be painful, it can be confusing, even to a logical and rational thinker. You need guidance from someone who understands and has a feel for the law. From my experience in the past year, Mario has a special talent for practical strategy and keeping things on course. All while respecting the factors that are most important to you. Mario always knows the answer, whether it be a technical legal question or more importantly, what to do at complicated decision points.
