Divorce Attorney that works for YOU!

I cannot say enough about Mr. Jusino and his entire staff. From the moment I hired him, he was sympathetic, compassionate, and made me feel that I had finally found the right lawyer to represent me. I previously had another lawyer who basically raked me over the coals and in a years time, did absolut...ely nothing except take my money. Mr. Jusino turned everything around and gave me hope when I had none left. He promised he would fight for me and he kept the that promise and ultimately got me the settlement that I deserved. Mr. Jusino always made himself available to me whenever I had a question. He never made me feel like my questions weren’t important or that I was a burden. I can’t stress enough how grateful I am to him and his entire staff and I absolutely recommend him to anyone who is going through a divorce and needs the most professional, caring counseling out there.

ACOD! GREAT DEAL

After he took my case, i called a lot cuz this was my 1st time in trouble and I was nervous and Mr. Jusino and his staff always eased my concerns. They sent me every letter they sent to the DA on my case so i could see that Mr. Jusino was reaching out almost every week as the DA wasn't getting back. ...cuz Mr. Jusino was so persistent, the DA finally called back and Mr. Jusino was able to discuss my case with her before court and worked out a better deal. I got ACOD and if i stay out of trouble for the year the charge goes away and there will be nothing on my record. Very happy & relieved. recommend to anyone looking for a great criminal attorney who actually CARES!!

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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

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!

Tremendous Attorney!

If you need an attorney who is honest, will fight for you with everything he has, and isn't afraid to take on the big players in the system, look no further. Phillip Jusino is a fighter. He has represented me for a case that has attracted national attention and is perhaps the biggest scandal in New Y...ork right now. He has not folded under the pressure. The motions he has submitted to the courts all the way up to the NY Court of Appeals have been very aggressive while still maintaining a professional standard. I have been around a ton of attorneys over the past 9 years and I am well aware of the arrogance and unapproachable attitudes that some of them present. With Phillip Jusino you get a respected and successful attorney who will never speak down to you as he walks you through the complicated steps of the legal system. In fact his entire staff is super friendly and go out of their way to make you comfortable. I wish I had retained him sooner. I look forward to the next step in our fight for justice. I recommend this law firm without reservation.
