My ex had seriously unlimited coffers, hired some of the most expensive lawyers in the USA, and in the end had 5 of them against Mario. My ex paid off school officials with donations, and used financial strength to bully anyone who would have helped testify about the reality. And guess what? Mario s...

Mario has delivered everything he promised to do u won full custody in addition to legal fees, he made the process easier to know that he allways has my back in court and out. He has a great dialogue with my judge which was a huge help !! I had a extreme long difficult divorce that Mario is wrapping ...
Me and my team would be nothing without our clients, so thank you for trusting us and letting us know that you appreciate all that we do!

I am still grateful to Mario and his law partner John for their assistance in my divorce case. It didn't make a great deal of difference in the end, and I wish that I had just agreed the initial petition and saved myself the heartache, but, this was't really their fault. The counsel in opposition wa...

Divorce is ugly, scary and painful but a good attorney can make it easy. From my first consultation I felt I was in good hands, Mario's first question to me was what do I want? Of all the divorces of people I know since mine not one I know has been asked this by their attorney. Its always cookie cutt...
Thank you so much for recognizing our efforts! It means the world to me and my team. Enjoy your family, and I look forward to remaining a trusted family friend always.

I have worked with Mario several times over the last 15 years and I would highly recommend him as one of the best attorneys in New York. Very knowledgable and always there for you whether you need serious help or just a quick heads-up on a legal matter. Mario has gone beyond the call of duty for me m...
As much as you appreciate all that I have done for you, I appreciate more that you did not take it for granted. Thank you so much. Incidentally, Avvo users should know that my law firm uses process servers more typically, but like everything else, if my involvement is warranted, I'll go the extra two miles to advance the interest of my client. Happy new year to you!
"I endorse Mario Alex Joseph. His reputation in the field is impeccable and I have seen in action and I am impressed by his work ethic and professionalism."
"Mario was opposing counsel on a contested divorce which quickly became a learning experience for both of us. Admittedly, I was a little turned off from Mario when we began communicating, as it was limited to e-mail and prior to any face-to-face introduction. However, my opinion quickly changed after our first court appearance and as the case progressed. It became clear to both of us that Mario's client was making every effort to undermine the progress that he and I were making together to settle this contested divorce. Mario managed an extraordinarily difficult client with professionalism and competence, and to be quite frank, he did a better job representing his client than I ever would have been able to. It is a shame that his client viewed it differently, because few lawyers would have been able to accomplish the same job as Mario. To any future clients who are considering whether to go pro-se or hire Mario, you would be foolish to go with any option over hiring Mario."
"I have known Mario for a number of years. He is an excellent and tenacious litigator who works tirelessly to advocate for his clients. I recommend him highly in all of his areas of practice including, but not limited to criminal defense, divorce and separation, and civil litigation."
"Attorney Mario Joseph is a diligent and dedicated attorney with extensive knowledge in family law. His compassion for his clients is astonishing. I highly recommend him to anyone needing legal representation."
