Wonderful Human Being!

Mr. Jusino recently represented me in a visitation case. I wanted to make sure I would see my infant son on a regular and specified basis. I immediately got a good feeling about Mr. Jusino and his office staff upon the first meeting. He has a great sense of humor, and doesn't put on heirs. He represe...nts himself very well in court, everyone seems to know him and like him. He is very attentive at keeping his client (me) in the loop during the court proceedings because I'll admit I was so nervous and out of my element, that a lot of things were going over my head, but Mr. Jusino kept me filled in and at ease every step of the way. He's not a money hungry lawyer who spits figures and prices at you, he genuinely cares and has a compassionate heart. I was very pleased with the outcome of my case, and how speedy everything was. I'd recommend him to anyone, and would use him again in the future if need be.

Phil is a fighter for fathers rights!

My case was quite complicated, I had no legal custody of my daughter and her mother was planning to flee to Florida with my daughter. First order of business Phil got the judge to order a temporary stay of residence. My ex couldn't remove her from the residence where I couldn't protect her. The case ...went to trial where she wouldn't agree to a deal, Phil wasn't worried. When the trial began I had my key witness testify against her and totally shut her case down. The judge and the law gaurdian sided with me and Phil on everything and we won the case. Phil was very professional and fought hard to protect mine and my daughters best interests. My daughter and I are extremely happy together now and she tells everyone my dad is my hero because he fought for me. So many fathers dont step up to the plate for their kids and those that do usually lose custody to the mothers because of a sexist family court system. However because it was clear that I was the better parent and because I retained Phil who fought very hard for my daughter and I. I won the case and it was the single greatest victory of my life, and Phil Jusino and his helpful staff got to be a key part of it. I highly recomend Phillip J. Jusino to fight for your parental rights, he paved the way to a happy future for me and my daughter. I know he can do the same for you.

PHIL IS THE BEST VERY AGRESSIVE AND NOT A SHARKS LIKE THE REST

How can I explain the pain and suffering when a spouse uses the court system to destroy a loving farther and they takes my special needs children down to the biggest corruptive organization in Suffolk county CPS and and the police and use my children as pawns to destroy a loving farther from a spou...se filled with so much hate.. This is a warning to all of the fathers out there being railroaded , you need a attorney that will advocate and also fight for your rights, not an attorney that's brags that she is the president of the bar association and gossips outside the court room talking about award dinners and bar association tea parties and then thinks she deserves $450 an hour ,these type of lawyers are parasites and they prey on the Weak and suffering and don't care about you, only for you to take a plea and then send you a bill, what's worse is they all have lunch together at the court cafeteria and talk about there vacations to Europe and Caribbean. These attorneys are no better than legal aid. It is very important for fathers to hire an expert that served as assistant DA in the domestic violence Bureau and has great knowledge how the system works and that is Phil Jusino. If it wasn't for Phil I would of been behind bars in jail for a long time for false allegations that CPS fabricated. Phil is the only attorney I ever seen that's steps up to the judge and gets in his face and fights like a champion. I can only hope that other fathers read this and hire Phil ...Also if you dealing with orders of protection you can be guaranteed your spouse will use them to sink you so bad in litigation your life with be destroyed forever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

Very good trial attorney, well respected with Suffolk DA and judges

Wish I used him for my 6yr long terroristic divorce. I'd probably have had the same results (50/50) custody, with much less expenses and wasted time. Some debates like all lawyers, but he genuinely listens to what you want and fights for justice especially when you're on the stand with a judge or jur...y. Anyone I've referred to him has been equally satisfied with his performance.

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.
