Michael James Colletta

Michael helped make a very unpleasant life circumstance much more bearable and I feel very lucky to have had him work for me during my divorce proceedings. Each case is unique and Michael listened very carefully to everything I shared with him and came up with a recommended course of action that was... not typical but which we he and I both felt had strong potential to quicken the proceedings and keep me out of court. It was the right and best path we could have taken and I was so relieved that the process went as quickly and smoothly as it did. I originally filed in July and the divorce was final in October and never went to court. Working with Michael, it was obvious to me that he treated each client uniquely according to their situation, because he listened and probed to try to understand the personalities at play and made a recommendation that brought ease to the entire process and made it easier and less painful for both myself and my ex-husband, and that was really important to me. It allowed me to quickly put the past behind me as best I could, and focus on rebuilding and regrowth.

No divorce is "simple", believe me I thought mine would be. Married for many years, grown children, easy assets to split. It was not simple, but when Mike took my case, everything was always answered immediately! The answers were helpful, concise, caring and always not only in my best interest but ...every detail was laid out for me. I never had to doubt or figure or second guess. He is very knowledgeable, quick thinking, smart and always confident which made me confident. I hear people talk about lawyers not returning their calls, emails, not explaining and not being patient. I cannot imagine dealing with those circumstances in addition to the stresses built in with these major life changes. My experience was just the opposite. I work in the government sector and he was so on top of government retirements, I didn't have to explain anything. When you are going through a divorce, not matter how "simple" or complex to have a lawyer that you have full confidence in and never have to be decisive about is the best gift you can give yourself. I highly recommend Mr. Colletta and suggest you secure him for any of your attorney needs in the future.

Mr Colletta represented me in two cases with favorable results. He was supportive to my needs in and outside the courtroom. Confident and professional, he was knowledgeable in matrimonial law and laws governing child support, both current and arrears. My original divorce attorney is semi-retired now ...and Mike was assigned my case. I highly recommend him and will be using him exclusively in the future.
