Tony is the man!

I went in for my consultation today and I felt he got the background of the case immediately. He was able to break it down, knew what to do with it and how to proceed in my best interest. Answered all my questions. He's a senior attorney with over 25 years experience and the backing of Jeff Leving's ...lawfirm. Down to earth, knowledgeable guy and professional as can be. Exactly who I want representing me during this time when I need a lawyer.

Child Custody Client

TONY IS AN OUTSTANDING AND COMPASIONATE ATTORNEY. My Initial Consultation with the Law Offices of Jeffery M. Leving was with a highly respectable and very experienced attorney Anthony (Tony) D’Agastino). During my initial consultation, Tony did the following: 1 )Listened to and wrote down every... important detail of my lengthy story and concerns. 2) Expressed sincere concern and even expressed sympathy for my situation and the events that I had already endured. 3) Asked questions and made sure that he understood the details correctly. 4) Clearly explained the law and what he would do to get me a court order for visitation/parenting time as soon as possible. 5) Discussed my options as well as how he could use the law to address my concerns and achieve my goals. For example, he told me he would file a motion for an emergency hearing to establish visitation/parenting time as soon as possible. – none of the other attorneys I interviewed offered this. 6) Listened to my goals and helped me clarify and establish clear achievable goals. 7) Provided me with instructions, resources, and clearly explained what I should do over the next few days, weeks, and in the coming months to help my case as we moved forward. – For example, simple things like keeping a journal and log of any visitation, organizing documents, attend every appointment with the pediatrician, and keep a copy of all medical records for our daughter. 8) Continually reassured me of what a great father I am and that he wanted to fight for me and make sure I was protected. 9) Explained the details and importance of having everything spelled out specifically in a parenting agreement that would eventually be signed and put into order by the judge. 10) How to document and keep track of what the mother was doing to interfere with the father child relationship 11) How to conduct myself in a manner that would not discredit me or make me look bad in front of a judge. 12) Explained how the law firm worked and that my case would be reviewed by Mr. Leving and assigned to a senior attorney. 13) Formulated an effective legal strategy implemented in court Tony continued to work closely with the senior attorney (Larry Rosen) that was assigned to my case. Tony and Larry did exactly what they said they would do and WE RECEIVED A COURT ORDER FOR VISITATION/PARENTING TIME EXACTLY THIRTY ONE WORKING DAYS AFTER MY EX WAS FIRST SERVED WITH MY INITIAL PETITION.
