James A. Rocco III

Looking back 2 years now, this lawyer was not what he represents. My case was complicated and he represented that he knew all these other lawyers and judges, but he was very ill prepared and my case went south. I let it go, till I hired a more seasoned lawyer who told me my case was done poorly by th...is attorney. i paid another moderate sum of money to fix the custody and financial issues that he totally missed. His arrogance and being off in trial cost me time and money. Not recommended now that I look back

Dear Jim, While all of this is fresh in my mind I wanted to stop and send you this email. I see your testimonial link is in the works. Please feel free to use any or all of this email once that link is working, because this is my testimonial to you. For over 5 years my son has been fighting for f...ull custody of my grandson, and my grandson is only 6 years old. We had hired another lawyer to begin the process, and I believe today that should we have stayed with our original lawyer, we would not have had the outcome that we received yesterday. I also believe that if we had begun the process with Jim Rocco it would not have taken 5 years for us to resolve this very important matter. My grandson was born outside of a marriage commitment. The relationship between his parents was always rocky at best. When he was 9 months old a situation developed that quickly turned angry and volatile between the mother of my grandson and myself. From that moment on, events would change all of our worlds forever and put into question the safety and security of my grandson should he remain in primary custody of his mother’s care. She kidnapped my grandson and left to another state without any indication of where she was going and our true struggles began. Given all the facts of this case, I am still bewildered by the courts decision at that time, and in times since to place my grandson in an equal custody arrangement. Together as a family, my son and I began attending court hearings, and 4 years passed without resolution to this matter. And then we met Jim Rocco, and with my first experience of meeting Jim, I knew that I would respect and admire him both as a man and as a professional. He and his office were very prompt and efficient and always available. My son is very heavily tattooed and can appear intimidating or be looked upon as being someone totally different from what his true self is. I know that he has faced judgment and persecution from others because of his outward appearance, but that was never the case with Jim. He took the time to listen to my son’s story, and formulate his own opinion that despite my sons outward appearance he truly loved my grandson and wanted to do everything in his power to gain full custody of him. I believe whole heartedly that Jim made it HIS mission to do everything in HIS power to make sure that happened. After 1 ½ years in Attorney Rocco’s care we finally received a decision from the courts yesterday. It was all we had hoped for. My son was given full custody, meaning my grandson is safe, and his future is more stable. My son has recently become engaged to a beautiful woman. He has achieved full custody of his son. I have never been so proud of my son and my heart has never felt more full. Now we can finally create a family with security, safety, stability and true love. Thank you Jim Rocco, from the bottom of my full and grateful heart.
