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.

Single dad is extremely happy with the work Bryan and his team have done for my custody fight

Suddenly, I found myself seeking sole custody of our son. I new I was in for an uphill battle. I am a single dad. The system is not fair. The mother is still given the benefit of the doubt. The mother of my child wanted custody of our son as much as I did and she was told it would be no problem ...from several attorneys for her to get sole custody After hearing this, I searched online. Bryan was highly rated, so I called. I am so happy I retained him. It was a blessing. I met him late at his office past 7pm, he waited for me and my son. He took the time to discuss my case thoroughly. I was not rushed, I didn't feel like I was given a sales pitch. My son even watched "Thomas Train" while we discussed my case. I felt very comfortable as Bryan and his team are extremely knowledgeable in custody matters. Not only did Bryan help me but also Katherine Saciolo. I really felt my best interests were being addressed. I am a chess player and forward thinker. I felt Bryan was the same. I am impressed when the resources I hire to fight for me are battle tested and ready to go. Bryan and Katherine are excellent. I am not an attorney. As such, I don't know what to expect. Bryan prepped me, answered all questions I had (I am very thorough), and more importantly told me where we stood on all the issues and what the possible outcomes may be. I was never left in the dark. Bryan has tremendous experience in the court house as does his entire team. During my case the judge even admitted that he sees Bryan representing clients "all the time." I liked that. I don't want someone learning the ropes on my dime. I shopped around, his fees are very reasonable. If you want someone who is going to fight and knows the system well, hire Bryan Salamone. Thanks again, Bryan and Katherine.

Great attorney

Melody Maher handled my divorce. She was very knowledgeable about all aspects of my case at all times. Melody was extremely honest and if she felt any pressure during the time I worked with her from the other side she never showed it. Her paralegal Victoria was extremely compassionate towards me. Vic...toria would let me vent when I needed too and never rushed me off the phone. Victoria made me feel like my concerns mattered, no matter how trival I thought they may have been at the time. I truly felt at ease confiding in Melody and Victoria. Both Melody and Victoria were extremely professional and I would highly recommend Attorney Melody Maher and her paralegal Victoria to anyone going through a divorce.

Bryan L. Salamone and Associates

I met with Bryan concerning a complicated divorce. Bryan and his associates were tough and worked hard to get me the best settlement possible. They are very knowledgeable in family law, but more importantly they always return my phonecalls the same day unlike other attorneys offices. All my concerns ...were completely addressed, and everyone at the firm treated me with respect.

Great

Meeting and having Mr. Salamone and his team of lawyers represent me during my divorce was the best decision I have made after meeting various lawyers. They have advised me every step of the way, and actually saved me from making decisions that would hurt me in the end. I can't recommend this attor...ney enough. Aggressive.... YES!

Great Work!

Kathleen Birmingham-Petrello and the firm did a great job at handling my divorce from beginning to end. They were able to get me everything I asked for in my divorce. I would highly recommend them to anyone to use their services.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
