Child support case

I am a repeat customer of this law firm and if needed again I would use them again. My case was handled quickly and professionally. We were able to reach the desired outcome and the case was completed and closed. Thanks' to Phil and his team.

Run!!

I sat with Phil about a child support and custody case. I paid $1500 to retain him. On the day of court for custody the issue of driving came up. My ex puts the kids in more activities then I can get them to and they are all 40 minutes away from me. Not only did I find myself arguing with the child l...awyer but I actually spent more time arguing with my own lawyer on the matter. Needless to say it did not go in my favor and once child support came he actually questioned me in front of the judge on why I am no longer employed. He had 2 court appearances for me $1500 retainer and $360 for I don't know what and I got no money back after I fired him. He was one of the worst attorneys I ever had. Maybe he's good for simple cut and dry issues not for anything else.

Attorney that truly represents your needs

I have been dealing with the Suffolk county family court system for many years. I've brought forth many petitions, modifications, appeals with countless attorneys and it always never ended well for me. That was until I met Mr. Phillip Jusino of Lake Grove, NY. It was on one of my many court app...earances in Family court that I encountered Mr. Jusino on the elevator. I introduced myself and asked him for a business card. I engaged in a brief conversation with him mentioning that I always see him there and that he must be good. He smiled and I found him to be a very pleasant and approachable man. We ended our conversation with him stating that he hoped he could help me one day. I kept his business card till my next appearance and called him. He was very knowledgeable, efficient and professional along with his staff. The whole process that I dreaded in the past was made a breeze by Mr. Jusino. When he attended my first hearing I was amazed that I now had a voice in the court room. Previously with other attorneys my requests and suggestions to the courts went unanswered. He fought for me diligently and vigorously and I finally had my day in court. This ordeal that had been weighing heavily on my family and I was finally over and in my favor. I highly recommend Mr. Jusino, as he not only showed compassion towards my case but also demonstrated how a father should be represented and respected in the family court systems of Suffolk county, NY

An excellent attorney

I came to Mr. Jusino after finding myself in need of representation in a petty larceny case. He gave me peace of mind and provided a plan to get my charges dismissed. On the day of court he was able to get the ACD and have me out of the courtroom in two short minutes! I'm glad to have taken on Mr. Ju...sino, he's a great lawyer and I would recommend his services to anyone in need of legal help.

Child custody

Phil is an amazing attorney!!! In 2012 I was going through a horrible custody battle with my mother over grandparents rights. It was the most draining and emotional time in my life. The court appointed attorney I had was a joke and did nothing to help my case. I was referred over to Phil by a client... from work. I gave Phil a call and went into see him a week before I was suppose to go to trial. He was very straight forward, understanding and made me feel comfortable. It was unbelievable the day of trial he came in and all the shady things going on stopped, the trial itself never happened it was settled that day in my favor. Phil is amazing. Thank you Phil for helping my family. I would recommend you to anyone!
