Michael C. Catalanotto

Michael and his entire staff worked tirelessly to assist during my divorce mediation process. All of the staff was very knowledgeable and responsive when questions arose, and Michael himself was fair and balanced in terms of helping us during our mediation. It was a lot less stressful than going thro...ugh litigation and I was thankful to have guidance along the way. I highly recommend Michael Catalanotto.

I have been separated from my wife for over three years. I was referred to Michael Catalanotto by a friend of mine. I had a Consultation with Michael for about an hour. By the time the hour was up I knew he was the lawyer for me. He is straight forward, honest, he gave me his advice on what he ...thought I should do and then listened to what outcome I was trying to achieve and gave me his opinion on what he thought would be the best way proceed. He is very easy to talk to and has a very positive attitude. I felt very comfortable discussing personal issues with Michael. He is available whenever I call the office and if he’s not he calls back as soon as he’s free. I am not done with the divorce process yet, but things are moving along very smoothly and I definitely would recommend Michael Catalanotto for a divorce or any legal family issues. Once my divorce is complete I will then be using Michael to represent me in the sale of my home and the purchase of my condo. Very happy I listened to my friend and met with Michael. He has made my life so much easier and taken so much stress off me.

I was having issues with my ex-husband, we had an extremely tough divorce that lasted four years. I was referred to Mr. Catalanotto by a friend and before the initial consult was over he had already addressed all my questions and concerns and within a VERY short time, Mr. Catalanotto had every issu...e with my ex-husband resolved. I then was selling my home that all my children where born and raised in, which was extremely emotional for me and Mr. Catalanotto and his office staff were very compassionate and were always available when i called with a question or concern. The sale of my home went very smoothly. I am very pleased with Mr. Catalanotto. I would definitely use him again and highly recommend his services. Mr. Catalanotto and his amazing staff handled two separate legal matters for me and made me feel so calm and relaxed while doing so. **EXCELLENT SERVICE & EXPERIENCE, EXTREMELY SATISFIED**

I have dealt with allot of attorneys over the years and was convinced they were all the same, looking to drain you wallet, drag out a case and then settle it. Not Michael, first was the consultation, I left feeling "it was too good to be true”, next were a few appearances and then a trial. When the ...smoke cleared he had unwound a bad deal that I submitted to because of it being dragged out for years and rising attorney fees. Excellent communicator, remembers things you tell him, always there to answer a question, great staff, very reasonable fees and most importantly gets you the results you want/need. Highly Recommended!

Michael failed to litigate effectively. My case quickly deteriorated with his counsel. Because of him I was displaced from my home and agreed to a temporary custody order that is not satisfactory. He suggested I get an order of protection after being the victim of domestic abuse and swiftly recomm...ended I lower it. At the end of our relationship he told me the order of protection was suggested to gain leverage in negotiation but was not about my safety. He also made agreements to the judge on my behalf but never informed me of these agreements leaving me in danger of acting against the judges wishes. Michael rarely kept meetings, rarely responded to emails, never furnished his cell phone number so I could not reach him and even billed me for work he did not do. He left me in the care of his uninformed paralegals. UPDATE: was offered financial compensation to remove negative reviews
