Michael J. DeRiso

I hired Michael J. DeRiso to represent me in a custody case. I did not think I had a chance of getting primary custody of my daughter. I met with Mike for the initial consultation and after walking out felt I really had a chance to get custody. We entered into a long drawn out court battle in family... division. if I called Mike with questions he would call me back that day, sometimes he would call me from home, even when out of town he would call to keep me constantly up to date. The staff at Mike's office are exceptional too, they would call and mail me paperwork anytime there were issues. The final result was me getting primary custody of my daughter. Now her and I are happier than ever. If you are thinking about hiring an attorney look no further than hiring Mike. I promise you will be happy, I knew when I left the consultation that he was the right attorney for the case.

There were a handful of potential criminal attorneys I was considering for handling my case. Upon review of qualifications and multiple recommendations from friends and colleagues, I chose Michael DeRiso. From the gate, he was in my corner and earned my trust quickly. His reputation within the Wester...n PA legal and business communities is stellar, and he is highly regarded for his expertise, professionalism, and dedication to each individual case. The charges I faced were quite serious, and throughout the various stages (preliminary hearing, pre-trial conference, arraignment, etc.), I would become anxious. Each time that happened, Michael would explain things to me in language I could understand and reassure me he was working diligently on my case. The end result was a dismissal of both very serious charges. I could not be any more pleased with the way Michael managed my case. He is a fighter and I felt he was truly fighting for me. I highly recommend him and would retain his services again (although I certainly hope I don't have to).

Mr. DeRiso represented me in my divorce. Mr. DeRiso was very patient and hard working and obtained the best outcome possible in my case to which I'm very thankful. Mr. DeRiso is a very passionate and goal oriented attorney. He is methodical and attention to detail when speaking with clients and in... the court room. Mr. DeRiso is very well educated, experienced and exceptionally honest in all aspects of his profession. If you have received a traffic citation or have been charged with homicide, have had a PFA or getting a divorce, or have been injured due to someone else's carelessness or negligence, Mr. DeRiso is that attorney you want to represent you and your interests.

Michael DeRiso has my highest recommendation. His attention and devotion to my (Family Law) case made me a true believer in him, his staff, and his firm. Mr. DeRiso ALWAYS made it to my proceedings. He never sent another attorney in his stead. I feel this is a rare quality in attorney's now a day...s. He is a true professional and is very knowledgeable. He and his staff worked tirelessly on my case and produced an extremely favorable court decision. Since dealing with Mr. DeRiso, I have recommended him to several close friends. All of whom received the same prompt and professional service that I did. A+++++
