Efficient and Knowledgeable

Anthony was referred by a friend who worked with him years ago. His rate was higher than the first lawyer I spoke with but his office was very quick to schedule a phone call with Anthony. After speaking with him and hearing his general recommendations, I hired him. For the entire process, he was ...patient with my questions and kept me calm and sane for the most part. Divorce is NEVER easy but Anthony and his staff made sure I was prepared with all the paperwork I needed for every milestone of the case. They were submitting everything on time and accurately. There were no issues whatsoever with the paperwork. I hope to never hire him again (because I wouldn’t want to be divorced the second time around) but if you need someone, I highly recommend him. Thanks Anthony and staff!

Anthony is very much a results-driven attorney with a trove of industry knowledge. He works tirelessly on strategy and I would recommend him to anyone needing assistance in family law- thank you Anthony!

A VOICE WHO STOOD UP AND FOUGHT..

A parents worst nightmare is to have their child taken away. Victims of domestic violence never had a voice, scared and unsure. I came to Anthony and from day one I was supported, but I felt supported. His knowledge of the law was impeccable, which gave him his stellar performance in court. I was... able to witness a really bad lawyer and a really good lawyer every time going into court. My case is now closed and I can rest easy that my baby won't be taken away from me as I now hold 99% custody my angel. A heavy burden has been removed in which now I can start the healing process. Thank you to Anthony and his firm for speaking up and standing with me to fight the battle of my life.

Honest. Straight forward.

I had to divorce a delusional, idiotic and ridiculously frustrating person. Anthony was great with keeping me focused and on task when my anger would have surely gotten the best of me and my wallet.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a wonderful review! I'm glad to hear that we were able to provide you with the support you needed during what must have been a very difficult time. I understand that divorce can be emotionally charged and overwhelming, but I'm thrilled to hear that our team was able to help you stay focused and achieve a positive outcome. Thank you for placing your trust in me and for allowing me to assist you throughout the divorce process. It was truly a pleasure working with you and I wish you all the best moving forward. If you ever need anything in the future, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Highly Recommend

I am very grateful for the work Anthony provided in my custody case. Anthony made this difficult process a lot easier to understand and cope with. I know I would not have been able to see it through without his help. Anthony's diligent work helped me be successful. Thanks to him, we live with le...ss stress and are happier than ever, especially my son.

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
