FELT LIKE FAMILY BECAUSE TRUST IS A MUST!

First off I want to start off by saying Stefano was the 3rd attorney we hired for our case so keep that in mind when you think about how much clean up he had to do from the other two attorneys mistakes. I am normally not one to say anything negative about other but when it come to your family, choos...ing a family law attorney is so crucial and can really effect the future of The ones you hold closest to your heart! I CAN NOT STRESS THAT ENOUGH! please do your research! Had it not been for Stefano we would have never seen our granddaughter again! We raised her since the day she was born until just 2 months shy of 6 years old. Some may say this should have been a easy case but after what our first two attorneys created on top of our granddaughter being moved out of state it was a very detailed case that had to have a massive amount of detailed oriented attention. I come from a family of attorneys though they are all out of state so finding an attorney that did the job to my expectations was I would say hard to find but we found him! I can say with all my heart I truly felt like family had my back! That he was my family fighting for what he knew was right! Another thing I want to point out to whom ever is reading this when you have a good attorney you will understand the saying “don’t stress, your attorney will do the rest” there are so many things in family cases that you can not shut off emotions too. It is just impossible, it’s your family! Your kids, your grandkids, your wife, your husband and so on. So the key is to find an attorney who you feel peace and comfort with that you can trust! We as a family found that in Stefano! He did all he could to take every precaution to protect us along with Save as the max amount of money like I said I truly feel like my brother was standing there as my attorney! You can’t get better then that, you really can’t! We got more then what we had originally even asked for and how he did it protect us all for future relationships. Family law is hard it is crappy no matter what the case is! You see sides of people you could never imagine even have. Stefano reminds you of that keeps you humble and truly looks at all angles so you can have a clear picture of what you want long term and short term. All I Can say is if it wasn’t for Stefano and who he is as and attorney and as a man our family wouldn’t be in the place we are! I am on of the biggest mamma bears out there and he passes my approval with flying colors! I know this is just one review but we heard about Steffano from another friend who had all odds against him so that’s why went to that close friend because I knew whoever won his case I would give a chance to look my case! THANK YOU Ceroni law firm for bringing our family peace and happiness again!

The Most Professional, Honest, Knowledgeable, and Truly Empathetic Attorney you can hire!!!

Stefano has settled 2 cases for me now... The first was a very complicated divorce involving children and the second was a Stipulated Order to change custody and parenting time. The divorce would have been a nightmare if I did not have the right man for the job. Stefano was prepared and extremely p...rofessional throughout the hearing. I was terrified of the potential outcome and I walked out of the court room feeling like I had won in every category in question. We ended up settling and if it were not for Stefano I don't think settling would have ever been an option, but because of his preparedness we essentially won and had the leverage to ask for more than what would have been granted otherwise. I have to mention the most memorable of events during the custody battle. At one point I had a 2nd case simultaneously for a fictitious domestic violence trial. I ended up winning this case additionally, although Stefano was not part of that case he showed up on his own personal time on a Friday afternoon to lend his time, support, and knowledge of the events to testify if needed on my behalf. We did not end up getting the opportunity to use his testimony, but he was there off the clock because he is a person that actually cares about his clients and has their best interests at heart. More recently I consulted Stefano for the Stipulated Order for Visitation and he was able to address the issues and keep me out of the court room again and I got everything I wanted in Settlement and unexpectedly more than I had asked for again due to his knowledge, expertise, and advice.... Unfortunately for me I have had my fair share of counsel in the past and I thought I would never trust an attorney again and thought the majority of attorneys were out for themselves. Stefano reestablished my Faith in the Justice system and If I ever need anything in the future I will absolutely use Stefano. I go out of my way to tell people about my experience and I would recommend his services to anyone regardless of the circumstances. If you need an Attorney and want an Attorney that will go out of his way to help you than you need to hire Stefano Ceroni.... This man is amazing at his profession and above all else he is honest and sincere!!!

Superior excellence!

The unfortunate experience of divorce was very trying and an emotional roller coaster. Stefano was very receptive to my feelings and assisting me through the process being sure to explain all the details of what was going to happen in mediation and court. I would highly recommend Stefano to any pers...on especially if there is a financial burden as he was more than willing to work with me to get through this process fairly and saving money at any avenue.
