Very Highly Recommended!

I would highly recommend Mario Fenu for the following reasons: Mario kept me up to date regarding my case. He clearly listened to my needs and communicated his expectations. Mario is a great listener. He listens with the objective of understanding your needs and not to simply answer your questions. ...Mario always demonstrated tenacity, capacity, knowledge and confidence about my case. He provided this sense of peace and comfort – I knew I was in good hands!

A Satisfied Returning Client; A+

If you are looking for knowledgeable & genuinely trustworthy representation, Mario Fenu is the one to call. I hired him almost 3 years ago for my divorce/child custody matter. The case closed in my favor. Then a couple months ago I found myself needing an experienced attorney for an uncommon case ...so I did not hesitate to contact Mario. We finished with court & I can finally move on with my life now but it is a good feeling to know that there are people willing to help, especially with emotional and personal matters. He is honest, willing to listen but also gives you the pros & cons of each scenario when moving forward with your case & communicates promptly. Mario, as well as his legal staff walked me through two very difficult times in my life with such professionalism. I appreciate & would definitely recommend Attorney Mario Fenu.

Quite possibly the best lawyer in town

I've had the most difficult time in my custody case, until I met Mario. My ex had been very manipulating in court with the judges and it was very difficult for me to get lawyers to help me get the facts in order to set things straight in court. Mr. Fenu was the first lawyer I came across that not o...nly took the time to listen to my case, but took the time to read through and compile all the facts from previous years from my own records as well as previous lawyers. He is very honest, caring, informative and realistic in handling the child custody case.

An Honest Attorney

Throughout my 9 month divorce/custody case, Mario was honest, personable, approachable, knowledgeable, and thorough. I felt confident in each step because they were thought out and detail oriented. Mario never treated me like another number and always left the communication lines open. I'm thankfu...l to have found a great attorney to help me through a life changing time.
