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.

Divorce attorney

This is the law office to go to for your divorce needs! They took great care of me in 2016 when my divorce was finalized. Just recently I needed my paperwork which was misplaced for a closing on a new home and they expedited the retrieval of the documents and had them to me in under 24 hours!

Posted by Heather | December 19, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Family

I hired Katherine Saciolo to represent me in my relocation case.

Katherine Saciolo has been nothing short of a Godsend throughout my relocation and contempt case against my ex husband. She is extremely attentive, caring and respectful. She always answers my questions and concerns and always replies to my emails in a timely manner. She fights hard for me and makes ...me feel as if I'm the only client she has. I've truly grown to love her! She and Bryan both have guided me through this whole process and I'm very grateful to have them both fighting for me. Katherine's paralegal Doreen is also one that deserves props as she is very personable and accommodating and I've grown quite attached to her as well. As far as some other reviews and complaints about the manners in which they're dealt, there's all types of personalities in the world. Some are warm and fuzzy, some are more in your face. I'm not paying for warm and fuzzy. I'm paying for a bulldog in the court room and I'd much rather have a "winning" "scandal" on my side than a warm and fuzzy pushover. However I've only experienced professionalism and courtesy from this firm. Having to go through the court process is never cheap. If you don't pay the electric bill, your lights get shut off. There's no difference. I do have a rock solid case. Even so, I realize the judge has the final say. Even if I don't get everything I want when this is all said and done, my feelings about this firm will not change!

Helpful, knowledgeable, good reputation

Bryan is a good, honest guy. He is also a tough lawyer. I retained him after having a terrible experience with another lawyer. I needed someone to help protect my daughter from an angry drunk father. He told me upfront what to expect, and what not to. Their fees are reasonable, and they worked with... me, as I didn't have a lot of money. He has a lot of experience and a good reputation with the court and the judge. He and his staff were always courteous and returned calls promptly. He always made time to see me and personally handle my questions or concerns. I wish I had gone here to begin with. Go see Bryan, he will take care of you.

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.

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.
