Posted by anonymous | September 29, 2021 | Child Custody

Great servise, very knowlegable

I was referred to Mr. Lamorgese to review a potential appeal of a high-conflict and voluminous child custody case. Before the initial consultation, Brad was able to reach out to the attorneys on file and review the case, so the actual time was spent very effectively, not reviewing the case but disc...ussing the possible solutions. All the notes and suggestions received during the consultation were spot on, and of a great assistance. After we found that the cost of representation is out of my price range, Mr. Lamorgese went far and beyond referring me to more affordable yet still superb firms. I highly recommend Mr. Lamorgese as a knowledgeable professional with great attitude towards his clients.

Experienced and professional divorce representation. I cannot recommend Brad highly enough.

Brad recently represented me with my difficult and complex case. Brad and his staff were very friendly and not pretentious, and I appreciated Brad's professional personality which is a no-fluff and direct approach and will make sure you understand what the law is and what your chances are in the matt...er you are hiring him for. There is professionalism that is there from the start. I VALUE what it takes to present that and the efforts that were made on my behalf. Brad is VERY intelligent and effective from a strategic standpoint, and truly understands the situation from a macro perspective. I greatly appreciated his no-nonsense approach to a process that has a tendency to be emotionally charged. He presents things clearly and educates you on decisions to be made. I was dealing with a party and opposing counsel that was refusing to comply, communicate, or be reasonable, and was employing expensive delay tactics, refusing to produce basic discovery documents, with the inability to recapture unreasonable legal fees arising from the above actions due to income status. Brad was able to remove the choke hold on the process and force resolution to being my case to a close and in my and my child's favor. Brad's creativity gave me what I needed to protect my son without a trial, and he continued to check up on my situation even after the case was finished. I truly respect Brad for not only the fantastic results but also his capacity to address my individual case. I would trust him with any legal matter in the future and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a true professional.

Great Divorce Lawyer. One of the Best in the Business.

I have had a great experience with this firm. My attorney Brad LaMorgese was professional, always communicated with me, and I got a great result. I am thankful for his advice and counseling during my divorce. He was a great advocate for me.
