Honest and compassionate

Going through something as difficult as a divorce or a child custody dispute can be extremely traumatic. I have been through both with Mr. Conroy and throughout there was never any doubt in my mind that he truly cared to see the best outcome for all concerned. He is literally one of the finest and mo...st decent men I have ever met. Words cannot express the gratitude I have for his caring and compassionate handling of my affairs and I would not hesitate to use his services in the future if needed, or recommend him to anybody in need of professional handling of their family concerns. One in a million.

Exceptional Lawyer and Person

Mr. Conroy is not only an exceptional lawyer, he is also a caring person. My situation was very complicated especially in the aftermath. My husband and I were going through a divorce and the night we went to mediation, it didn't go very well and my husband threatened my life and then threatened his o...wn. Mr. Conroy had a police escort me out of the building and made sure that I made it home safely to collect some belongings and get out of the house for that evening. Well that night I feel I saved me and my children's lives as that night my husband did take his own life. Mr. Conroy went above and beyond his job as an attorney. I would definitely recommend him for anything needed that pertains to the law. His assistant Ms. Clara is also awesome.

An attorney who changed my impression of lawyers

Attorney Conroy has exemplified professionalism, integrity and expertise in all of my interactions with him. I've been self-employed for many years, and have had interactions with over 30 attorneys, in the course of my business. He is the first attorney who has consistently exhibited professional b...ehavior and quick responses to my legal issues. Mr. Conroy has helped reduce the stress of a property settlement from a divorce. I am fortunate and grateful for his legal representation.

Divorce Attorney Gets Job Done

I hired Mr. Conroy after interviewing 4 other attorneys both on the southshore and northshore. Being on the northshore was an added bonus for me. I can not thank him enough for the recommendation of the accountant he directed me to use throughout the legal process. The two of them got the job don...e for me. After three years, my case is finally settled. The person who walked out on me did NOT get the alimony he wanted, did NOT get my personal business, did NOT get the extra money he thought he was entitled. Mr. Conroy has a strong support staff who is willing to go the extra mile to make you feel comfortable and let you know that everything will be OK. A very special "THANK YOU" to Clara.

The 4.0 reviews are wrong and avvo won’t let me publish the truth

This lawyer was hired by me for my complicated child custody case. I am a physician and a forgein graduate. I didn’t know the laws when I got a divorce so there were no divorce agreement and my ex is also a physician. I was in residnecy and for fellowship I left my son with my ex but then my ex refus...ed to return him to me so while in Florida I contacted this lawyer seeing reviewed on avvo and hired him. He gave me a lot of hope first the case was to be in Metairie but it got transferred to small city of Thibodaux where my ex husband is and this lawyer did very little work charged me 400 just to drive for final hearing and in that too I just got visitation rights which when I showed to another lawyer told me is all in my exe’s favor. I would not recommend this lawyer he even is taking a long time to withdraw from my case when I requested him to.

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.
