Practice Areas

Child Custody 20%

Our clients do not want custody, they need it. People who hire us demand the best. Custody is based on the best interest of the child or children. Our attorneys' goal is to argue your case to show the judge that you are the best parent. Judges do not live with the parties and have no idea as to who is the best parent; we must demonstrate that you are the best parent. We know how to present your case and admit evidence to court showing that custody should be with you.

20%
Child Support 20%

Among the many financial issues to be decided in a divorce or separation, child and spousal support are perhaps the most critical. Your divorce should not leave you incapable of caring for yourself or your children, nor should divorce require you to pay excessively. There are many unique and creative ways to deal with child and spousal support. We provide you with our experience and our advice as to child support. We fully understand the laws and options governing child support.

20%
Divorce and Separation 20%

Agreements, orders, settlements, and/or judgments made in your divorce will affect your life more than you can imagine. It is imperative that you hire the right attorney, one who is highly skilled in Divorce and Family Law and who is experienced and aggressive. We are aggressive, and we will work hard for you. If you need to win, you need tough attorneys who handle only divorce and family law cases. Hire our team of highly skilled trial lawyers.

20%
Marriage and Prenuptials 20%

The need for pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements becomes increasingly important as people’s economic circumstances grow more complex. It is prudent that certain kinds of property acquired before and after a marriage be identified and their potential future disposition clearly agreed to. This helps avoid litigation in the event of a divorce. Our firm’s experience in pre and post nuptial agreements is extensive and personal.

20%
Mediation 20%

Even though we are well-known for our aggressive litigation tactics, we also provide mediation services, and we offer our services to clients who seek separation and/or prenuptial agreements. We not only go over the numbers with you, talk to you about the law, review the facts with you, and discuss your children with you; we always get the job done. What this means is that we provide you with the agreement and the judgment of divorce.

Great Job!

When I think of Bryan L. Salamone and Associates, P.C., I think of politeness, professionalism and honesty. I trusted this firm for many important decisions I had to make in my life. They took the time to explain everything every step of the way. They always returned my telephone calls promptly an...d the atmosphere in the office, from everyone, was always friendly. They always have a smile to share. I would recommend this office to everyone I know for any problem needed to solved. You can trust this office to do their very best. - D.M.

Wonderful attorneys and support staff!!

I can honestly say that Bryan Salmone's office helped me during the most terrible time of my life. I recieved everything I needed and more to move on with my life...to be happy again!! :) From the very first phone call to the signing of the final divorce paperwork I was completely satisfied with the ...firms services. I also thought that the associates of the firm, young or not were absolutley fabulous and more knowledgable than most of the older attorneys I had dealt with in the past. I switched attorneys from another firm when I was getting walked all over and hit with ridiculous fees and Bryan and his accociates turned everything around for me!!

BUY ANOTHER LAMBORGHINI BRYAN

THIS LAW FIRM IS ALL ABOUT THE $$$$! THEY STRETCHED OUT MY CASE FOR OVER A YEAR AND EVERY MONTH SENT ME A BILL FOR $7K. I SAW NO END IN SITE SO I HIRED A NEW LAW FIRM THAT SETTLED IN 1 APPEARANCE. STAY AWAY FROM THIS LAW FIRM!!!

Posted by anonymous | October 31, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

BEWARE!!!

I CONTACTED BRYAN SALAMONE TO GET A LAWYER FOR MY DIVORCE. HE ASSIGNED WILTON WIDMAN TO HANDLE MY CASE. I SPENT OVER A YEAR AND APPROXIMATELY $100K IN LAWYERS FEES AND MADE VERY LITTLE PROGRESS. I SWITCHED LAWYERS AND MY NEW LAWYER WAS ABLE TO SETTLE WITH ONE APPEARANCE. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND WILTON ...WIDMAN. I WILL BE CONTACTING THE BAR ASSOCIATION TO REGISTER A COMPLAINT. I HAVE CONSULTED WITH A LEGAL MALPRACTICE ATTORNEY AS IT SEEMS THAT MR. WIDMAN MADE MANY MISTAKES IN REPRESENTING ME.
