Best Lawyer

Attorney Vassallo is an exceptional lawyer—very knowledgeable, thorough, and dedicated. He guided me through my custody/relocation case with professionalism and care, making sure I had everything I needed and within Avery short timeframe; literally 2 weeks. Thanks to his expertise, I achieved the out...come I was hoping for. I cannot sing his praises enough—highly recommend him!

Don’t be scared!

I have been dealing with my custody matter since 2016/2017. I had worked previously with another attorney in my earlier years of Family Court, who I thought was a great experience at the time. After several years of stagnant custody, I tried to work on changing my custody order pro se against an atto...rney. To say I was destroyed by the system is an understatement. After some time of trying to fight my way back out of my situation, I interviewed with attorneys about my case, at all price ranges. I even met with the attorney in the state that is considered to be “The Best”. Actually, two different attorneys at that same firm. After all of this effort, I came across Vernon Vassallo. I met with him at his office for an interview/consultation. After laying out my case and talking with him for some time, I left his office feeling reassured and that someone actually saw and understood me. Later that evening after meeting with him, I received an email from Mr. Vassallo asking for more information. He stated something I told him about my case just wasn’t sitting well with him. That was the moment I knew, he was the one. He immediately started working on my case, from filings to exhibits. He made sharing information with him so easy, that I even asked him for advice on communication with the other party. Every time he was right there by my side when I needed him. He built an amazing case, he saw things I never would have saw. He brought perspectives to the table I would have never had. He organized everything perfectly and he beautifully prepared our filings, exhibits and case with a nice neat binder to take to trial. Scared from the previous experiences in family court, I expressed my feelings with him. He said, “It’s okay to be nervous, everyone’s nervous in the courtroom. The bailiffs are nervous. The attorneys are nervous. Even the judge is nervous. But don’t be scared.” To say I received what I wanted out of our trial, would be doing Mr. Vassallo a disservice. He superseded any expectation I could have imagined. He is the best. He has a client for life now. Thank you Mr. Vassallo.

Dedicated, professional and reliable!

Vernon helped me navigate the most difficult and emotional time of my life. He listened at the initial consultation and communicated and helped me during the entire process. He knew my case and the details, and I trust him completely to have my children and my best interest always.

Vernon made my divorce process simple and painless which is exactly what I asked for. I cannot thank him enough for his counsel, integrity, and simplification of a process that can become very complicated very quickly.
