I have to remain anonymous because of my ongoing case. But reading reviews, this lawyer I know has his own way. We all get frustrated its court !! Its our lives! But the cases I read where hes the worst? Really? Theres so much more to cases. I've had my own frustration but that's not his fault. Hes d...one everything I've asked and some. He is not biast he needs facts he goes off the truth. Hes honest and he understands. And well hes dealing with all our personal issues give the guy a break. We all have them hes human it didnt affect his job or guy up there u would of done legal action. I've taken my own crap out on him and he still does what he does. If the case was lost you cant blame other people for our messes we pay them to help clean it up. And maybe you shouldn't hit your child or tell your lawyer that. ! My experience is crazy bc I have a terrible ex. But he does look you in the eye that's his thing! Hes a good lawyer and will fight for you when he knows you've been dealt a hand that is ridiculous!

THE BEST FAMILY LAWYER, PERIOD!

Tom has helped in a few legal situations and is an amazing person all around. If you are going through a divorce, custody situation, adoption, etc. Tom (Mr. Caserta is the attorney for the job, period!

Tom is a spectacular lawyer, make him your first call!!!!!!!!

My family's world was turned up side down by my exes actions. I started calling lawyers to find out what to do, where to start, for help and how to proceed with our new situation. I set up 3 consultations with other attorneys, who's secretaries would give me nothing but an appointment and their typic...al retainer fee for this type of case. Frustrated with how insincere and scripted the staff sounded I was not impressed and more of a wreck then before. I called Tom's office and his staff was different from the minute they answered, unlike the others no money was talked about, instead she told me he would call me before I had to be to work. He called me and from the minute I answered I knew he was what I was looking for. He took the time, listened to my concerns, genuinely cared, and put my worries to rest. I never went to any scheduled consolations but the one I set up with him. He and his staff went above and beyond for me, always made me comfortable, like I was a priority and they were happy to do anything they could to ease my mind. He got me the results I was looking for. Tom is a wonderful attorney and worked hard to achieve an even better end result for my new family then I asked for or was expecting. I have and will continue to recommend him and his staff. If your looking for someone to represent you save yourself the frustration and make him your first call!!!

DO NOT USE THIS ATTORNEY!

Very nice guy. Very lousy lawyer. Screwed my divorce up from the very start. My wife was asking for huge maintenance after she left me and the kids. After reviewing my income and hers, Mr. Caserta assured me what she would owe me in child support would more than offset what I owe her in maintenan...ce. Break even right? Wrong! We had not even seen her financial affidavit yet (she couldn't be bothered to fill one out) and Tom agreed in a conference with her attorney and the judge that I would pay her $800.00 per month. Then he tried to tell me what a great deal he got me! After I went off on him, he sends her attorney and the judge a letter saying his client no longer agrees to this amount. When did I ever agree to this? Especially after he told me it would be break even! Try getting maintenance reduced after your lawyer already agreed to it. He had been very clear with me that we would not even negotiate without seeing her financials and he goes ahead and agrees to $800 per month. I know he was distracted with some of his own personal issues at the time but I am the one that will be paying for this. Not him. My new attorney has since gotten it reduced slightly but this is a mistake I will be paying for for a very long time. Am considering legal action to get my retainer back but my new attorney tells me its not worth the aggravation. Good ol boys club! Did I mention he recommended me forking out over $6000 for a retainer fee to a consultant firm to put a value on my business? My new attorney tells me that it would have ended up costing me $20,000 in fees by the time they were done. We have since avoided this and negotiated a settlement on the business value. Do Not use this attorney!

Does not listen to both sides

This lawyer is very female biast. Mr. casserta was my kids law guardian for a court case, I had a very strong case but he sided with her even thought she had no case during the trial. Also, I have had instances where she would do something to the kids and I would contact him, he would tell me that he... was not concerned with her hitting them, but if I tried to disicpline my kids he told my ex call CPS and fight for custody. Not a trustworthy law guardian.
