A Job well done

We hired Peter to be our representation in the battle to terminate a mother's rights and adopt our beautiful little girl. *Every time we contacted Peter he returned my texts or phone calls that day and was always willing to work with our schedule to have our meetings. *He always kept us in the know... on any new information and what we needed to be doing. *While in court he fought our battle with ease. He read up on all the information we gave him and used that to our advantage in the court room. *He did what we hired him to do and we are very thankful for that.

An excellent attorney

Mr. D'Angelo is exactly who I needed for a very complicated divorce and custody case. He has an extensive knowledge base and was generally responsive with in 24 hours. All communications were directly with Mr. D'Angelo not thru a legal assistant- which is important to me. I feel the continuity of 1:...1 communication with an attorney throughout a case improves the results. Mr. D'Angelo's fees were reasonable, I believe his services were more than worth his fee. If I ever have a need for an attorney aside from divorce I would not hesitate to seek his services as a defense attorney.

I would have been better off represending myself !!

I thought Peter would help me "fairly settle" custody, and child support matters based on my initial consultation, so I retained him. BIGGEST MISTAKE NEXT TO MARRIAGE. While in court, Peter never stood up to defend me when her lawyer tried to make me out to be mud (as lawyer's will do while defendin...g females). Not once did Peter discuss in court what I had asked him to. He cowardly neglected speak up on my behalf, and relied on her lawyer to write-up all the paperwork,calculations,and terms for divorce, casually reviewing the documents, and failing to catch the important details the other laywer had "slipped" in. In the end, I was responsible for signing off my assets and custody time, not Peter. He rarely returns calls,and never seems to be available per his rude secratary who states simply "Would you like me to give him a message ?", but yet no call back in weeks ! Peter did not work for me, instead he let the court system, and the other lawyer do all the work while I paid for it. Had I defended myself,this entire process,and outcome would have yielded better results for everyone, including our children.

very good and strongly recommended

Peter handled my divorce and custody/child support issues. He is very knowledgeable and aggressive to find a solution to your problems. I have used him several times over the past 8 years.

Terrible service- rude secretary

Terrible attorney! We continue to call him with no call backs. It's been over 2 years and we are still "working" on a resolution. Today his secretary hang up on me!!!! Very very terrible staff. He makes you feel like he doesn't care for his customers for sure !we will not recommend him.. In fact we... would hire an attorney to get a reimbursement
