Not recommended

Mr. Cosentino is knowledgeable enough to adjudicate the simplest Divorce/Child Custody cases. However, he was inept at keeping me informed of very important status dates. He lacked responsiveness needed with calls, emails, regarding very important questions, status dates/court appearances. When I pos...ed serious questions pertaining to my Shared Custody case. I would often wait days or even weeks for him to return my calls/emails. Mr. Cosentino failed to notify me of a status/court date regarding temporary child support which required my appearance , allowing the petition to be granted to the respondent without my knowledge. I raised the question of paternity, which went ignored for over a year. He finally managed to enter a petition for DNA testing and promptly filed a motion to withdraw as counsel, failing to consult with me before doing so. Mr. Cosentino seemed more interested in providing the court with my pay records than establishing my paternity. Mr. Cosentino would neglect to inform me of status/court dates requiring my appearance in court. He would then contact me via email stating I would be held in contempt of court if I failed to appear at the next status/court date. When given specific instructions Mr. Cosentino would often ignore requests and fail to contact or consult with me before making decisions. I would not recommend retaining Mr. Cosentino.

Worst Attorney

Horrible attorney. Doesn't call back when needed. When we went to court for my hearing he said that it's nice to enjoy your freedom without your children. WHAT???!!! Flies by the seat of his pants. Tells you he's going to one thing then does what he wants. I wasn't real sure who he was working f...or half the time. Doesn't return important docutments of yours. DO NOT HIRE THIS ATTORNEY
