A top notch Attorney

I hired Mr. Pesce when my Ex-wife took me back to court to increase Child Support. He was very upfront and honest letting me know what to expect in certain areas of my case were we had a good argument and also where there was no need to argue. I respect his honesty and appreciate that he would always... return phone calls and emails before the end of the day. My only regret is I wish I would have hired Mr. Pesce to represent me from the beginning of my divorce. Mr.Pesce knows the laws and will fight for your best interests.

Divorce

Mr. Pesce was efficient and easy to work with. He listened to your situation and gave you the pros and cons of which way to go. He suggested in your benefit and was willing to go the extra length to get results. He communicated regularly. Overall, I would recommend Mr. Pesce. I would also recomm...end attending each court date even if they suggest you do not need to be there. It helps the process move along and get results, otherwise to many continuous court dates and Mr. Pesce was agreeable and made the flow instead of dragging out a divorce for no need. You are able to stand up for yourself with the judge after all the case is about you not continuous court dates.

Professional and dedicated

After a consultation with Donato Pesce I knew he was the lawyer for my divorce and child custody case. He was very knowledgeable in the law and dedicated to helping me fight for what was right in my situation. I am very pleased with his professionalism and the outcome. I was ignorant to American laws... and he explained every step to me as we went so that I was completely prepared for everything. Truely an understanding and kind person. He doesn't just look at you like a paycheck. Definitely would recommend to anyone needing a family court attorney.

the absolute best!

after reading reviews about don pesce online i gave his office a call and left a message with his secretary. within 20 minutes don called me and explained how everything worked and all of my options. this was all new to me i didnt know what to expect but don really knows his stuff and is a very fas...t thinker he also tried his best to keep cost down. i now have custody of my 4 year old son. in the future i hope to never need another attorney but if i do it will definitely be done pesce! A+

One Outstanding Attorney!!!

Don is one of the most thorough and knowledgeable attorneys that is out there. He represented me through a 2 year custody/paternity case in which he assisted me in finding my daughter whom I had not seen in over 10 years. Don was instrumental in the transition of me being reintroduced to my daughter ...and regaining the privilege of being a Father once again.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
