St. Francis

I had previous legal counselors to help me with my especially, and seemingly, uphill custody battle. I say battle because it went on for SIX years before I met with Mr. Urso. My son's father held all the cards (no vacations, no holidays, if I was late I didn't get my son). The final straw was when my... ex tried to officially cut me off and out of our child's life. My ex used his well-connected resources to cocoon and paint himself as a loving and doting father, and I the picture of evil. My case was particular because of heinous and unfounded accusations. Borderline slanderous. None of it true, but I couldn't get anyone to be an advocate, not just on my behalf, but for both of my sons (the accusations are too horrid to share), and to wholeheartedly believe the injury to innocence inflicted. Upon meeting Mr. Urso, he invited me in, to sit, and explain my situation. He patiently listened to me through my outpouring, only asking clarifying questions, is what I say true and could I provide documents, to which I assured him absolutely. When he agreed to take on my case, he said it with such strength of character I began to have hope. This was my best and last effort to keep myself in my son's life. Mr. Urso was professional in his precision. Carefully and methodically peeling every layer of lie and deceit my son's father crafted, then let my ex fall upon his own sword of undoing. I have to admit, after years of constant abuse from my ex, it felt nice. I felt that both my sons were vindicated. That I was finally, FINALLY able to give my children the full and total support and love they so needed, wanted and richly deserved. I am so grateful, every single day that I have, to this man for literally saving my family. I hope these words fill you with the same happy joy that I receive from seeing my children's smiles every morning together.

Great Custody Disputes

I have worked with Frank for a few years now and he has always been professional and prepared for court. I admire his tenacity and vigor; he gets the job done and I feel at ease knowing that he’s representing me.

Best custody lawyer!!

Made my custody order more manageable and what I wanted as a sole legal/physical guardian of my child. Would recommend him to anyone!! Who loves their lawyer?? I DO!!

Excellent Attorney

Frank Urso was both caring and professional in his representation of me during my divorce and custody situations. He went above and beyond to advocate on behalf of myself as well as my children and worked tirelessly to get a favorable outcome. I would recommend him to anybody going through this sit...uation. And his fees are far less than pretty much any other attorney in Media.

I wish I could give him no star at all

Made my divorce a nightmare, drained every pennies out of me and not even divorced yet. No advice from him or direction whatsoever, not like I have gone through a divorce before! Any email no matter how short, $50, phone call $70. Gave me bad advice and always tried to go to court to make more money.... Went through the $2,500 retainer in a couple of weeks with nothing accomplished. Ended up paying more APL to the wife that she was asking for because of his insistance not to settle (never suggested to counter directly with the opposite lawyer). He is very cocky and act like he is on your side, he is more like on the side of his billable hours . I ended up firing him as my divorce is not even started. Stay Away!
