Johnny G DeGirolamo

If you were like me, having marital issues, having a spouse tell you she could divorce you, take your kid, your house, the dogs, and everything you spent (and will spend) your life working for because "Courts always favor the woman!" Your mind starts racing through all sorts of scenerios ranging f...rom bad to nightmare. Eventually you pull yourself together just enough to realize you need some help, some advice, some clarity. It has been a year now, and can't remember exactly how I came across inlawwetrust.com and John DeGirolamo, but I am certain my life would be a shadow of what it once was if I didn't. I remember the day I called John a year ago in February. I was so stressed out that I could barely convey why I was even calling. John talked me down, explained how the process works, costs, expectations, everything. He then asked me why I was even calling him. Now a bit puzzled by this response, John explained to me that I'm not even ready for a divorce yet based on what I had told him. That's a good person there. NEVER pressured me into a divorce, never treated me like a number. Ended that phone call relieved, educated, and most importantly confident and calm. Fast forward about 8 months, and I had caught my spouse having an affair. Time for me to act. Now 100% sure I need a divorce, I once again called John. Right away he remembered who I was and my situation from earlier. That same day I had one of the best divorce lawyers on retainer, and both of us began filling out paperwork immediately. John got that divorce filed so fast, my soon to be ex had just wasted her time and money trying to file. Soon to be ex filed a bogus injunction with a restraining order and took my son. John handled all of it. I even stayed in the marital home while going through the process. Every document, every court date, every update, every next step was in my inbox AS IT HAPPENED with no delay. Every question I had was answered right away. No "within 1 to 2 buisness days." Right away. Day. Night. Weekend. John was on top of it all. Fair, straight forward, always there for you especially when the soon to be ex trys some sketchy stuff that sets your head in a tail spin. Do your due diligence and research as one should, but this is your family lawyer. Just a bit from what I found, John served 3 years on the grievance committee, which he was one of 4 lawyers that evaluated ethics violations for the Florida Bar in the 13th Judicial Circuit. This is a LAWYER who has ZERO ethical complaints on his record. Let that sink in, and ask your other law groups you may be considering about that. Even after my divorce was finalized, John STILL answers my questions while I navigate tieing up all the loose ends required by my divorce agreement. I got lucky finding John and this law firm. You dont have to rely on that luck. Pick up the phone.

John and Laura did a fantastic job handling my child custody case. The pricing was unbeatable. I had an open line of communication to John at all times of day for counsel and legal advice. John is very direct and to the point and has a no BS attitude. He will be real with you whether you want to hear... it or not, but he will work hard to make sure that you're getting the best legal advice to make the best legal decisions. I walked away with everything I wanted and some and it would not have been possible without John and his team.

Before hiring John, I was court ordered to parenting time only 2 days out of the week. As a parent/Father who is involved in my children's lives, this was unacceptable to me. My divorce was headed in the wrong direction. I made the greatest and best decision to hire John who answered all of my que...stions and was very knowledgable in Family Law. Throughout my time with John, if I had a question or concern, he was always available via phone call/text/and email. If for some reason (and this was extremely rare) I couldn't reach John on the first try, he would return the text and/or call back within minutes. He was always available. John is the type of attorney that will supply you with truth and honesty in your case. During my time with him, if he said it, then that's what happened. John was honest all throughout the process. His relentlessness and determination yielded positive results and increased my time with my children to 50/50 shared parental custody. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. John was also very reasonable and worked with me with cost. John comes highly recommended and is highly respected in the courtroom. My divorce is now final with there is no better feeling to know that John had my back throughout the process and exceeded my expectations.

My husband and I contacted John on a post-judgment modification issue related to a parenting plan and time-sharing and immediately retained John after the initial consultation. From the initial consultation throughout the entry of a final judgment, John was responsive, honest, fair, understanding an...d hard-working. This was a very difficult time for us and emotions often ran high. John provided each of us with access to his personal cell phone number and would respond to texts or calls within seconds. The counsel that he provided us throughout this novel process was that of consummate professional. His advice always came from a place of knowledge of the law, the parties and the Judge, and his past experience. Additionally, John was more than fair with billing practices and did not nickel and dime every single text or brief conversation. To say that we were satisfied with John's representation would be an understatement. We were more than that. John lead us through a very challenging time and made us feel, throughout the entire process, like were his only clients. We would highly recommend him to anyone.
