BEWARE...UNETHICAL ATTORNEY

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.

HAD TO DO MOST ALL OVER AGAIN

After almost 2 years when Mr Rocco said my case was finished well, I found out that many things were done totally wrong. Especially money and distribution as he did not do adequate accounting. I paid tons of money for his services, only to find out most was poorly done. Had to re-do and re-file sever...al issues and pay again. My opinion? Mr Rocco is careless and a bit cavalier with cases, as he makes broad promises he failed to keep. NOT RECOMMENDED

HAD TO MOVE ON TO GET IT DONE RIGHT

Was referred to this attorney by a relative, and spent tons of money and about 8 months getting nowhere. Found out he was weak in litigation and confused on most custody and money matters. Got an old timer who fixed the problems in a month for a reasonable amount. This lawyer seems nice but he is no ...trial lawyer and was no help at all in my case except in collecting my money.

Just a basic attorney with some misleading skills

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

Best to move on to a competent attorney

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.

Replied last June 18, 2015

This is a bogus post. I am a family law attorney and was recently hired by a client in a very high conflict custody case in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. I have never had any interactions with Avvo from either a client or self-promotion. Shortly after I got involved in this custody case, my client received an e-mail from the father alerting her to this website with 2 complaints about me. Neither of the fact patterns are representative of any of my clients. After no response from my client, the father again alerted her to this website, which now has 2 additional negative complaints, which again are not representative of any of my clients. My client believes the father is posting these negative comments in hopes she will discharge me. She will not but I am concerned about his continued use anonymously especially as he continues to lose.
