Very knowledgeable

Mr. Franco went out of his way to help me get all of my divorce paperwork filed and ready to go. He explained the process and actually went over things with me that I didn't even consider, when I was filling out all of my documents! I really appreciate everything he has done and all of the help he ha...s given to my family and I throughout this process!! I highly recommend him to anyone that needs a knowledgeable divorce attorney!

Anthony Franco: Expert Family Law Attorney

I had two previous lawyers that I felt were just clocking time for their hourly rate. I never felt they were truly working to protect me. I subsequently represented myself, as pro se, and did a better job than my previous attorneys. However, I reached a point that I knew I would never realize a fair,... equitable final settlement because I am not professionally equipped to do the job. That's when I met Anthony Franco. Mr. Franco is an outstanding attorney, and you would do well to consider his firm. From my personal experience in working with Mr. Franco, I found him knowledgeable, professional, respectful, and empathetic, which is immensely valuable during times of personal stress caused by marital divorce and settlements. Of most importance, I found that, over the course of six months, Mr. Franco obsessively prepares for his cases and he prepares his clients for trial – meaning when I walked into the courtroom, I was confident that we had our best foot forward and that Mr. Franco had my back. Summation: Divorce sucks, going to trial sucks, and settlements, I believe, are never 100% perfect for either side. Yet if you need someone to protect your rights and fight for your truth, in order to best position you to move onto the next chapter of your life, I recommend that you consult with Anthony Franco and his firm.

Very helpful!!

I had a consultation with Mr. Franco about how to handle filing for my dissolution of marriage on my own. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. He was able to give me the information needed and the confidence to file for divorce on my own.
