A Kind Consult

I consulted Ms. Scopellite's law firm and was pleasantly helped by both lawyers who gave me invaluable information on my situation. I would recommend this law firm when it comes to family law.

Posted by Devon | March 29, 2015 | Family

Ms. Scopellite is a VERY good lawyer and she cares. I would highly recommend her!

I recently hired this firm, in the year 2014, to help me with my complex custody battle that stems over two states and for the last several years. This firm is still handlingi my case. However, since I hired them and they took over, I have made great progress. I had been to several other lawyers w...ho really messed up my case and hurt my and my children's relationship, as I was not able to see my children for several years. Now I have a continuous relationship and see my children regularly and I am rebuilding my relationship with them. I am still fighting for custody of them. Yes, this case has cost me a pretty penny, but it has been worth it. We are getting much closer to what I should have been given years ago. I would highly recommend Mr. Goldstein and Ms. Scopellite and their firm to anyone. Life is not always fair but if you have people on your side that care, it helps. And, they know how to litigate is good, as well.
