Amazing attorney!

I did a lot of research looking for a really good attorney that wasn't going to rip me off like other attorneys have in the past and then I came across Brian Picarello. He was straight forward, honest and professional! I felt very comfortable with him and knew I wasn't being taken advantage of. I cam...e all the way from Florida to handle this court matter and it was extremely stressful but Brian really took care of everything for me. I wish I had found him a long time ago! I will definitely be recommending him to all my family and friends back in NY. He was an absolute God sent and I couldn't have made it through this without him! Thank you so much!

Posted by anonymous | April 12, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

I highly recommend Brian Picarello for representation in regards to Divorce & Separation matters.

After spending almost two years in the court system, I was highly disappointed with an attorney that I had hired and had really screwed up my case. A case that could have been handled efficiently and carefully. However, I was able to change attorneys and I was blessed with Brian Picarello. He came hi...ghly recommended and of course his display of dedication and tenacity really turned my case around for the better. I was always being contacted and being informed as how my case was developing. There were times during my trial that I felt so frazzled and perplexed. There was one thing that Mr. Picarello said to me I will never forget "trust me, I would NEVER steer you wrong". At that moment I trusted his advisement and judgement. With that I was able to gained most of everything that I was requesting from my divorce and then some. Again, I highly recommend Mr. Picarello.

Very Satisfied

I hardly ever write reviews, but I just wanted to say how happy I am that I hired Mr. Picarello to represent me on my child support case. He was very fair with me, and honest from the beginning on what I could expect. I highly recommend this lawyer.

Very Satisfied

Mr. Picarello represented me in a divorce and got me custody of my three children, and found a way to keep me in the marital home. He kept me fully advised each and every step of the way, and answered or returned all my calls very quickly. If you are getting a divorce, I would highly recommend ...Mr. Picarello

Great Attorney

Mr. Picarello represented me on a criminal matter in Suffolk and he was great. Every time I called (which was a lot!) he answered my calls or got right back to me and was very patient with me. I was very nervous, and probably a pain in the neck, but he never made me feel like I was annoying. He wo...rked with me on a payment plan and got me a great deal. I am very happy that he was my lawyer.
