About Matthew

Practice areas
  1. Business
    65%
    Too often businesses wait until an issue has become an urgent situation that will cost them more now, then it would have cost them to fix the issue when it first arose. We counsel businesses from inception through sale. We focus on the present to make sure we protect the business' future.

  2. Family
    20%
    Family law matters include many areas of law, including divorce, separation, alimony, child custody and distribution of marital assets and debts. Don't allow your emotions or the emotions of the other party to dictate the outcome. Your present situation may be difficult, but you must work to protect your future.

  3. Child custody
    15%
    Child custody and visitation cases can be difficult and emotionally charged, whether they come to an agreement or not. These matters can be addressed in a separation agreement or parenting agreement. However, if the parties are unable to come to an agreement, then they may be forced to litigate. If forced to litigate, it is critical to hire an attorney and law firm that you are comfortable with and who will fight aggressively to protect your child's future.

Very Knowledeable
Mr. Marcellino was exceptional! He provided all the necessary groundwork before my very first court date. Because of this, I was able to get above and beyond what I asked for. He is extremely knowledgeable and compassionate and has a desire to truly help people. I am forever grateful for all he has done in order to ensure the safety of my daughter.

A DIFFICULT CASE, HANDLED PROFESSIONALLY AND SUCCESSFULLY
Matthew M. Marcellino has shown a very professional and assertive approach since the first appointment, on the phone and from the other side of the world. He did not create any easy and false expectation. He prospected us how he would handle the case, why he wanted to follow that way and what would the best and realistic results be respectively. And the time was against us. We achieved what we factually proved to be truthful within the frame of law he proved to master; and for this he has our sincere moral reward for life.
