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.

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

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.

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
