So Grateful!

I could not be any happier or any more satisfied with my visit/consultation with John Martoccio. John had an answer for all of my inquiries. And the 1 or 2 items that he was unsure of, he made sure to follow up with me after doing research on my questions the following day. This office is located... in the heart of downtown Hinsdale and has a very inviting feel and atmosphere. John's paralegal, Racine, greeted me as I walked in and John was out of his office to shake my hand within a minute. I never felt rushed, nor did John make me feel like he was pressed for time or that he had more important matters to tend to, although I know how busy he is. John made sure to provide me with all forms on contact information for himself and his office in case I had any further questions or inquires. John always makes himself available and truly devotes all his attention to you when you are in need of council. I highly recommend this law office and I greatly appreciate the attention and guidance that John Martoccio provided me.

Happily Divorced

Back in 1995, after consulting unsuccessfully with 9 other attorneys, I retained John Martoccio to represent me in a pending divorce litigation. John then designed a divorce decree that helped me to prevail in court during the subsequent trial, as well as 3 post decree litigations that followed in l...ater years. Other attorneys in John's office, specifically, Bev and Ross, have also done outstanding legal work on my behalf, including probate issues, wills, traffic tickets, etc. Therefore, I strongly recommend these top notch professionals for your legal issues.

Divorce and Family Needs

I have found myself twice in post-divorce issues regarding child support. At least for me they were both very difficult, frustrating and stressful times as I believed both parties were capable of resolving all matters amicably outside of a courtroom. I live out of the state of Illinois and needed a... firm that could represent my best interest. I am grateful I selected Martoccio and Martoccio, and for all that have done on my behalf. I have worked with John Martoccio, Ross P. Schreiter, Beverly Ecton Strasser, and Racine Lambert-Cwerenz over the past several years. Each has provided me with the highest integrity, ethics and professionalism in their effort to help me navigate my personal legal needs. During my most recent circumstance, however, I received word late on a Wednesday afternoon, before a scheduled Monday morning court appearance, that the Respondent wanted to resolve matters without making a court appearance. This eleventh-hour request sounded great, but put a huge amount of responsibility on the shoulders of Beverly Ecton Strasser. Beverly did not hesitate to take command of the situation to reach a positive resolution by the Friday afternoon deadline we not had. This required she do further research, crunch numbers, prepare documents, get my approval, share such documents with opposing council, receive back the documents with proposed changes, update documents and submit them again to me and to opposing council. It was indeed a lot but she was able to do it all to the satisfaction of all parties involved. It meant a lot to have such efficient, professional, and personal attention extended on my behalf while out of state. Without reservation I whole-heartedly recommend Beverly and the entire Martoccio and Martoccio firm for your Divorce and Family Law needs. Mark

John's office extra job

John was totally professional in all ways. His explaination of the various papers involved was east to understand. His office also did an excellent job of baby sitting my 2 yr old great grand daughter while we were behind closed doors.

Thank you

John did a great job with my case. This was my second attorney I hired for my divorce case. The previous attorney would not return my calls and was not helpful. I was referred to John and he met me on the same day I called. He was available to met with me and talk to me whenever I was concerned a...bout my divorce case. He kept my in the loop each step of the way and I had a very successful outcome when the terms of my divorce were finish and included 3 children. I would highly recommend Martoccio law firm.
