Amazing attorney

Enrico has been working on my complex custody and PFA case since June and I could not be happier with his advocacy, expertise and overall demeanor. He handled a very messy and contentious case with professionalism and extensive legal knowledge. He made me feel so confident and capable when I thought ...I may have to testify, but he was able to come to a custody agreement with opposing counsel at the 11th hour of a 2nd day protracted custody trial. He was always up front and direct with my questions (and I had a lot), always answered me quickly and worked with me regarding finances and billing. Enrico is an ethical, moral and competent attorney and I would recommend him and his partner Maria (who wrote up a beautifully worded motion for me) to anyone in need of representation for custody matters. I am very happy with the custody order he negotiated between me and my son's father.

He Kicked Ass!

Enrico represented me in multiple divorce and custody issues over the course of several years. I found him to be incredibly honest, smart, aggressive and very comfortable in Court, and we had plenty of visits to court! I really trust his judgment. We won on the critical issue jurisdiction, we won... on the PFA and most importantly, I was able to get what I was seeking in the custody trial. He appeared to be well respected by his peers and he was an absolute pleasure to work with. I highly recommend his services.

Honest, professional lawyer, a great advocate!!

I turned to Enrico after being disappointed and misrepresented by different lawyers in my custody/divorce battle. At that point, I felt I would just need to give up. After talking to Enrico, He promised He would be by my side and truly represent me. And that is exactly what he did. He kept me in the ...loop weekly of any progress, answered all of my calls and emails promptly. He was always willing to fight for me and I can say he always did what he said h would. He got my divorce finalized and a fair custody order in less than 6 mo. He was truly a godsend, always there for me, fighting for me in court, the first lawyer I have met that had my best interest at heart. I would highly recommend Enrico. He is professional and willing to be your advocate. I can't thank him enough!! Thank you Enrico, you're the best! .....finally free:)

There is not a better attorney to represent you and your family

Mr. Pagnanelli is incredible to work with. He treats you as though you are his only client, emails are returned, filings are done quickly and at a level of excellence, calls are purposeful and returned always. He is a man of integrity and will fight with truth not smoke and mirrors like others. I ...cannot begin to express my gratitude for all he has done as I have navigated this horrific divorce and custody battle. My case is a nightmare, I had many levels of issues with my ex and his choice of a very unethical attorney. Mr. Pagnanelli has handled them both and our constant issues at a level of excellence beyond expectation. He fights for us as though we were his own family. He genuinely cares about the welfare of the children above everything else. Having a complicated case has made it difficult but he has far exceeded any expectations. I would highly recommend him as an attorney. He is truly the best in the area and he will treat you with dignity, respect and be mindful of your resources as well. If you want to be well represented by the best, you need to call his office today.

Top Notch No Nonsense Attorney!!

Enrico Pagnanelli is an amazing skillful lawyer who was not swayed by a manipulating opposing party. He was patient and encouraging through a long ugly process which ended with me being able to save my children from a horrible environment even when DHS wouldn't. I could not of picked a better lawyer ...to represent me on a relocation and primary custody case. He worked diligently to make sure that there was a positive resolution for me and my children, and I brought my babies home that same day!! I am forever grateful for the true peace he has brought to an entire family. He is a no-nonsense strong knowledgeable attorney who will fight for what's right no matter what the obstacles. Thank you Enrico!!! I definitely recommend this lawyer!!! A+++++ Forever in our hearts!
