Frivolous Criminal Case

Kevin was fantastic in handling my wife’s needlessly, frivolous criminal case. We were complete novices when it came to the law and it’s proceedings and Kevin put us immediately at ease and “held our hand” every step of the way. Excellent communicator and ALWAYS available! Our case ended with the bes...t possible outcome-I would highly recommend Kevin to anyone seeking a criminal lawyer!

Did Not Get the Advocacy I Needed at Great Expense

I hired Kevin twice, once for my initial divorce while living in Colorado and less than two years later for a post-decree matter when my ex-husband filed a motion to modify my maintenance, Although Kevin did a decent job with my initial divorce settlement when he was at The Harris Law Firm, I had a c...ompletely different experience the second time when he was at Pickard Law. The modification of maintenance had a key factor supported by a wealth of case law that Kevin never once mentioned to me in that my ex-husband had a "heavy burden to show that there were changed circumstances so ongoing and continual to make the original terms unfair". Kevin seemed more interested in settling at a big reduction to me versus a prospect of going to court when I had a strong case against modification. After a failed mediation we parted ways and I hired a fabulous attorney who ended up winning my case in court resulting in no reduction to my maintenance. Had I not gotten new counsel and stayed with Kevin I could have ended up settling for a completely unreasonable and unnecessary reduction to avoid court which would have cost me a significant loss of income over the ten years of maintenance I had left. Bottom line, I didn't get the advocacy I needed from him at great expense. I am grateful that I ended up winning my case in court with a different attorney and I would not recommend Kevin.

Very efficient no-nonsense representation

I have had Kevin represent me on two separate complex cases, one involving child custody and a second involving a divorce. In both cases Kevin's honest, no-nonsense approach produced good results in a timely fashion. Kevin is excellent at listening to client concerns and shining a realistic light on ...them as to alleviate unnecessary stress and worry. I would not hesitate to use the services of Mr. Massaro again.

Fantastic Attorney

Kevin and his senior paralegal Linda worked on my child support arrearages case. I had not had any success through the state enforcement agencies for 10 years and the amount of the arrearage was substantial. Kevin was diligent in fighting for me and won my case. I couldn't ask for a better experie...nce for such a stressful subject matter. They were always on top of everything, were extremely knowledgeable, and responded to any question or concern I had quickly. They show kindness and compassion as well, which is rare these days. I highly recommend this team and The Harris Law Firm.

Outstanding lawyer, trustworthy and extremely knowledgable

Mr. Massaro assisted me during a difficult time in my life. I had separated from my wife of 24 years & needed advice as to the consequences of a divorce. In clear, straightforward language, Kevin took me through the divorce legal procedure and all the legal issues, including fees & costs.Especially h...elpful was Kevin's explanation of the maintenance issue, what used to be called alimony. Kevin did not make unrealistic promises, as so many lawyers seem to do at the initial consultation stage, but instead laid out probable outcomes, pros and cons & did so in a patient & caring way. My wife & I ultimately reconciled, but I owe Kevin a real debt of gratitude for helping me when things looked pretty bleak. I have referred Kevin to others--including my son regarding a child custody issue--all of whom have thanked me profusely for steering them to an honest, plain- speaking lawyer with heart.
