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.

Unsatisfied client

I hired Mr. Jusino for a criminal case . He never informed me that this was not his specialty and that his law firm specialized more in family law and divorces . When I needed him to stand next to me in front of the judge he was never available and would always send someone else who did not know ...my case at all !!! UnFortunately because of his misrepresentation of lack of experience with criminal cases my professional life has been destroyed !!!

Replied last October 25, 2019

When I saw this anonymous review, I had to respond. To begin with, I have been representing criminal defendants for the past 28 years and before that I served as Suffolk County District Attorney and am well versed in criminal law. For the anonymous person who left this review to state or imply that I am not well versed in criminal law is a lie. If this person is real and did in fact hire me, they would have known my background which is easily accessible on my website. In fact, if they had come into my office, they would have seen my Assistant District Attorney badge hanging on my wall. Because this person came in as anonymous, I cannot even be sure that this is a real review and I am not a position to comment on any specifics because not even what he or she describes is something that I am familiar with. Secondly, unless I am on trial or unable to attend a specific court appearance, I am the attorney that appears on the client’s behalf. If I cannot make it, I give the client the option for the matter to be adjourned or I send in the attorney that is of counsel to my firm who is also a former District Attorney. I would never send a client to court without proper representation. It is unfortunate that people are allowed to leave reviews and remain anonymous. Imagine if someone accused you publicly of something and could hide behind the shield of anonymity. How would you like it? Is it fair? Certainly not. I have been a practicing attorney for over 30 years and enjoy an excellent reputation in the legal community and beyond.

Excellent Attorney

Phil Jusino helped me with my child support litigation. Phil Jusino is extremely knowledgeable, he listens, offers excellent and helpful advice, is very responsive, and efficient. He is everything you would want in an attorney to represent you. If I ever need an attorney in the future, he would be th...e first person I would call.

Peace of Mind and Very Happy with Absolutely Good Result

I met Mr. Jusino and was greeted and respected by entire office..... the entire time. So important when going through any trying time. No jargon ! Clear, concise, they do not drop the ball. Fair, honest and patient. If I was having a bad they, they never were. My 1st attorney had the matter for 6 mo...nths, Mr. Jusino took over and understood immediately and was able to work with the other attorneys paving my way towards divorce fast. Hard core perfect with the financial aspects and sincere with the other tribulations of the process of divorce.

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.
