Jean Mercurio is just a plain horrible attorney that doesn't care

I had the unfortunate idea of hiring Mrs Mercurio for a family matter of child support. The line of communication with her has been horrible at best, barely returning my phone calls or emails but she was very quick to get my credit card information when i decided to hire her. I ended up having to do ...all the work myself while she was just showing up to Court doing basically nothing. Be aware since she had some personal/family issues she dropped the ball on many cases. I am sorry if she was going through tough times but unfortunately if she is not able to keep family and business separate she shouldn't be practicing the law. Save your money and look elsewhere. She won't represent you properly

Should NOT be a lawyer- scammer

Jean took my money for services she did not deliver. Paid her money to retain her and then she just disappeared. Never anderes my phone calls to her office or her cell. Never returned my emails or texts. Disgusting how you present yourself as a lawyer the. Just take someone’s money and run!

Very Dissatisfied

Jean is a waste of money. She didn’t even file an important modification and would return my calls for days/weeks. She does not respond to calls, texts, or emails. She will take your money and disappear. If you’re looking for a good attorney, look elsewhere, literally anywhere else.

Terrific attorney that delivers!!

Jean Mercurio was recommended to me by a good friend of mine and I thank God for it. Jean is the real deal, an excellent attorney, one who will fight very hard for her clients and won’t back down. She tells you the “real truth” of what to expect in your case. Jean addressed all of my legal questions ...in a very clear and efficient manner which greatly facilitated my understanding of the process. Her guidance was extremely knowledgeable and grounding. She answered all my calls, questions and if I needed to meet with her, she made herself available and she did not make me spend unnecessary time or money. I am grateful and appreciative to have her fight for me and represent me. Anyone would be lucky to have Jean on their side!!

A highly caring divorce lawyer

I hired Jean for my divorce and was very satisfied with her professionalism and dedication to my case. My legal questions were always answered fully, as she was highly intelligent while providing great service. She was always available and returned my calls promptly. I would highly recommend Jean to ...others. Thank you for the great job you did for me.

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.
