James A. Rocco III

Jim Rocco on the surface would appear to be a smooth attorney who can get the job done. I had enough of his antics after 1 week and switched to a reputable attorney. Not only did Mr. Rocco slander numerous other attorney's, some of who I actually met with, but he thinks he's the best attorney in Ph...iladelphia. I hired Mr. Rocco to do my divorce and during our consultation Mr. Rocco said no problem, he had it in the bag and he will get me everything I wanted. I know not to believe everything I hear but Mr. Rocco at first appears to be a real nice guy. That's simply not true. Maybe he was trying to show off because I'm a female. He's facade faded in that 1 week and I saw his true colors when after he spoke to opposing counsel he called me and said I would have to give him another $10,000 on top of the $10,000 retainer I just have him 6 days prior. He assured me that the $10,000 would last at least two months. Just lie after lie. What I found to be most alarming was how Mr. Rocco prided himself on knowing everyone and he could move mountains (his words not mine). Upon his request for another $10,000 my radar went up and red flags were raised, I requested my retainer back as he literally did no work other than one call and one email to opposing counsel then found a new attorney. I'm still waiting for Mr. Rocco to send me my retainer as its been awhile now and he continues coming up with excuses as to why he has not sent it yet. PLEASE do your homework before giving an attorney a retainer fee, most are good, but then there are unethical attorney's such as Mr. Rocco.

I only wish I read the reviews on Jim Rocco before I wasted my time meeting with him. I went in for a free consultation and Jim Rocco’s I arrogance on how he knows everyone and use his relationships with Judge’s to get what his clients want was a red flag for me as no good attorney every makes promi...ses. He even bragged about opposing parties whose lives he ruined, not caring about the best interest of the children. Made me sick to think that individuals actually hire this so called “attorney” to represent them in Family Court. BEWARE…..Jim Rocco is unethical and only cares about his billable hours and money. Find a real attorney, there are plenty on this website, just not this one.

Was referred to this lawyer and what a mistake. He claims to know family law but he is a jack of all trades and let me suffer alone. I'll prepared, confused and cannot litigate. My ex had a hot shot and string female attorney and she ate him for court dinner as he had no knowledge if my case ir cou...rt litigation! I changed lawyers and settled my case but he wasted money , time and respect.
