Compassionate, professional, thorough and fair

During our initial consultation regarding Custody/Visitation, I knew that I was in good hands. Throughout the six months to get the matter resolved, Zoe was always compassionate, fair, and thorough about discussing all aspects and nuances of working with the Family Court with me and she worked tirele...ssly to give me the best representation possible. I wouldn't hesitate working with her again.

A smart, caring lawyer with integrity

I hired Zoe to represent me in a family law matter. She listened carefully to my situation and was 100% effective in helping me maintain custody of my children. Because of her specialization in domestic violence matters, Zoe understood the dynamics at play and zealously defended me against my ex’...s attempts to inflict further post separation abuse. After many months of enduring intense fear that he would succeed in gaining sole custody, Zoe successfully navigated the case to settlement. At the beginning of the process, Zoe presciently warned that there’s no justice to be found in the family court system. I naively hoped that the judge would see the truth, hold my ex accountable, and understand the full scope of the situation’s impact on my kids. In reality, it ended up being an exercise in damage control in which I didn’t win, but I didn’t lose either. Zoe was on my side every step of the way with realistic advice and clear communication. She used her legal expertise and negotiating skills to protect my children and I from a potentially disastrous outcome. Zoe acted with the highest integrity throughout this difficult process. I was very much impressed with her character and tireless advocacy for women and children. I recommend her legal services without hesitation.

Knowledgeable and Responsive Lawyer

I hired Zoe Paolantonio to handle my domestic violence case. Ms. Paolantonio was very knowledgeable with Domestic Violence law and how the system works. She gave me sound and direct advice on what I should do and made it very clear the possible outcomes. She worked very well with my domestic viole...nce advocates and the court system. Further, given the situation in hand, which had been on-going for a long time, she was very caring and listened well to my concerns. She made me feel comfortable with what we were doing and made sure I understood each step we took. Finally, she was ready to go to trial, but the case was settled before trial in my favor. I highly recommend Ms. Paolantonio and plan on using her again if I have another issue in the future.
