Dedicated and Compassionate Attorney

Admirably, Mr. Pecora and his team worked ardently through a very lengthy divorce process. Mr. Pecora was extremely professional, resilient, and proactive in resolving a difficult divorce replete with many roadblocks and delays. Mr. Pecora and his staff genuinely cared about me as a client, and I was... treated with the utmost respect and patience. There were many times when I wanted to "throw in the towel," and Tony refused to give up. It is that steadfast and compassionate attitude that makes Mr. Pecora the fine attorney and person that he is. Accordingly, I would highly recommend Tony and his devoted staff.

5 stars is not enough!!!

5 stars just isn’t enough for the guy you get when you hire Tony! I talked to many lawyers prior to hiring anyone and there was just something about Tony that made me feel at ease. He was a combo of a barcuda and a teddy bear all in one lol My divorce process was long hard and very emotional— 24 ye...ars many kids —it wasn’t easy for me. He was there to console me , made me think and look at angles I hadn’t considered and ALWAYS ALWAYS had my children and my best interest and future at heart! I truly wouldn’t be where I am on the other side now happy if it wasn’t for his guidance and support. He truly is all these reviews say and sooooo much more.. I have referred him countless times and he’s helped many friends and family for various reasons and they all are equally as pleased!! He truly is the bomb!! Don’t second guess tje call’ he’s worth whatever he quotes!!

Trusted attorney

He worked hard for my case. He did not nickel and dime me. He made me feel my case was his top priority. I highly recommend.

I would highly recommend hiring Anthony Rocco Pecora

I would highly recommend Anthony Pecora. Tony is very responsive, patient and understanding. He was able to get my divorce moving in the right direction that two attorneys I had hired before him were unable to do. Divorce is very hard especially when you have children. If you are looking for someo...ne to listen, be there for you and to get the job done. I would highly recommend Tony. You won't be disappointed.

The best of the best

I hired Tony to help me with my divorce. He is extremely professional, honest, and very hard working- and his team was just as amazing. I felt confident and at ease from start to finish because I knew he was going to make sure everything was taken care of and I had nothing to fear whatsoever. My hus...band and I ended up getting back together and Tony reimbursed me over half of what I paid him and more which was a huge surprise considering how much he and his team had done. I highly highly recommend Anothony Pecora and his team. If you need someone to fight for you in your case and make damn sure it's done right and to your needs, Anthony is your guy.
