Paul James Tortora Jr

When CPS showed up at my doorstep with false accusations, my stomach dropped and my world felt like it was ending. They were investigating me for neglect, and the fear of losing my children was paralyzing. That's when I reached out to Paul. From our very first call, he made me feel heard, not judged.... He helped me understand what CPS can and can't do in New York and walked me through every step, what my rights were, what evidence mattered, and how to build a case that would prove I was a loving parent. As the investigation dragged on, Paul dug into everything. We gathered texts, school and medical records, statements from teachers and family, anything that showed the real, everyday life of my child and me. When the hearing rolled around, Paul stood right beside me in court, calm, focused, and ready to fight. They questioned the caseworker, demanded clarity, and made sure the truth came out. I can't recommend Paul enough. If CPS ever comes for you with baseless accusations, don't wait, call him.

As the parent of a child on the autism spectrum, navigating the special education system felt overwhelming and, at times, hopeless. From the moment we reached out to Paul, everything changed. He not only understood the law, he understood our child. Paul took the time to listen to our concerns and ...truly grasped the nuances of our child’s needs. He explained our rights clearly, empowered us with knowledge, and advocated fiercely when the school district failed to provide appropriate services. Because of his dedication, our child now has an IEP that reflects his individual needs, including speech therapy, occupational therapy, and a supportive classroom environment. We finally feel like our son has a chance to thrive in school instead of just getting by. This process was emotional and exhausting at times, but having Paul in our corner gave us peace of mind. He was responsive, compassionate, and never made us feel like just another case. If you’re a parent of a neurodivergent child struggling to get the support your child deserves, I can’t recommend Paul enough.

From day 1, Paul was transparent and sincere in handling my case. He was a tireless and empathetic advocate and really made me feel like my case was his top priority. His communication and courtroom skills were exceptional. I have recommend several friends to him and they have reported the same exper...ience. Divorces are difficult and mine was no different, but it was invaluable to know that I had someone to guide me through the process who truly cared about my case.
