Great lawyer. down to earth

Mr. Yovino gets to the point of the case. Do not waste time or lead you on. Great attorney to have dealt with. Compare to the rest of attorneys only wants your retainer, so they can bill you even nothing could be done. shady lawyers will make up things so they can bill you. shady lawyers take your ...money, do nothing, run with your money. This individual is amazing custody lawyer. he will let you know if something can be done. He will help and assist. thumbs up!!! 10 stars Thanks

Amazing Attorney

I highly recommend Anthony Yovino as a divorce attorney. From the beginning, it was evident that his years of experience would greatly benefit me in my divorce/ custody battle. Above all, I appreciated that he was readily available when I needed him, thoroughly prepared, and committed to my case. Thr...oughout my divorce he exemplified confidence in stressful situations and thoughtfulness when deciding the most pragmatic way to handle each new dilemma as it presented itself. I highly recommend Tony as a divorce attorney.

Divorce/Custody

From the minute I met Tony, I knew I was making the right decision in hiring him for my divorce/custody journey. He is kind, patient, thorough, and truly understanding. At the lowest points, when I felt most hopeless, Tony stood by my side and gave me the strength to continue fighting. I always felt ...protected and understood, even when I felt nothing made sense. His calm demeanor coupled with the sharp, aggressive skills are second to none. I without a doubt would recommend Tony and his staff.

5 Star Divorce lawyer

If you're searching for an attorney, you must consider one's experience, temperament, personality, responsiveness, and legal finesse in dealing with "divorce" especially when children are at stake causing an embattlement the likes of which the movie Kramer vs. Kramer looks like a Disney movie. Tony a...nd I fully prepared for trial up to the day of; then settled. His responsiveness is uncanny. He does not raise his voice, but when arguing points, he will back his opponent into a corner with untenable arguments. He responds to emails almost immediately. He knows the law. We dealt with the opposition consistently lying, as did my Ex, about all matters and were prepared to expose the truth at trial. Go for a consult. Its a no brainer to higher such a qualified, personable, and knowledgeable lawyer who is a regular guy. His office staff were also friendly, competent, and compassionate. He will also make you aware of all strategies, and the costs for applying each. At court, the man was known by everyone. After, forensics, law guardians, parenting coordinators, full trial prep, I'm satisfied with the outcome as much as one can be. I was ready to see this through to the very end, and did, with a competent attorney in Tony beside me.
