Exceptional, Professional, & Extremely Skilled!

Highly Recommend ! During a very difficult and emotional process of not certain what my rights were as a grandparent I came across Frank. From the consultation call I able to sense he was incredibly knowledgeable and skilled, but also genuinely compassionate and understanding of my situation. Frank..., definitely kept my faith in place and made me feel heard and supported, and I felt confident that he was going to fight for my grandson’s best interests. He was confident and always available to answer my questions and kept me informed every step of the way. I am eternally grateful for him achieving what I wanted and without no doubt I highly recommend his work to anyone seeking a skilled and compassionate custody lawyer. He will forever be my Attorney!

Custody of my son

I contacted Mr. Travato's office for a custody matter and hired him as attorney. The office staff was very helpful and Mr. Travato had contacted me right away. We discussed my concerns and how we would move forward. Mr. Travato answered all my questions and was very supportive through the process. Af...ter 5 years of chaos finally my son is home and can be cared for properly!! I would recommend Mr. Travato to anyone having custody issues.

Highly Recommend

Frank genuinely cares for his clients, very down to earth guy and is driven to get results. He always gave his all at every meeting we’ve had and represented me, as I was trying to get custody of my daughter and get more visitation. He made sure the outcome of my custody battle got the best outcome t...hat it had the potential to be. 5 out 5 stars! Thank you Frank!

Best Interest Of The Child Success thanks to Frank Trovato

After 5 years of a high conflict custody case, I fired my local attorney with 40 years of experience and political ties to the Courthouse after numerous conciliatory hearings, court ordered therapists, custody evaluations, reunification therapy and the continued physical and emotional abuse sustained... by my children at the hands of their father and unfortunately a Court system that had failed to listen to them. I hired Frank to represent me at an evidentiary trial where I was being accused of contempt and had filed my own Motion seeking a modification of custody in asking for sole legal and physical custody of my teenage children. Frank was honest, compassionate, attentive, diligent and well prepared from our first meeting until we went to trial. He commanded the courtroom in direct questioning and was a presence to be reckoned with at trial before a brand new Judge assigned to the family court. Not knowing the precedent this new Judge would set in one of his first custody trials was a concern but Frank was confident, presented the facts and exposed my ex-husband in questioning. After a 4 hour trial and a month of waiting, we received a 15 page Order detailing every prong of the best interest of the child statute and was awarded FULL legal and physical custody. Frank did for me in a month what an attorney with 40 years experience couldn’t get done in 5 years. Frank is well versed on family court law and understands what teenagers today deal with academically and in their athletic pursuits on a collegiate level. He has a personal approach with his clients which is very much appreciated. He was a text away and always responded. Having 25 years of experience myself as a paralegal, I can tell you Frank is the real deal and he will get “the best interest of the child“ result your family deserves. I can’t thank him enough for the relief he has brought my family.
