Helped me get my son back!

From my first contact with Donald DeSimon he was professional, attentive, and took the time to carefully review my request of order for visitation modification in my family law case. He took the time needed to organize and file a large submission of information that I was presenting to the court. His... experience in navigation the judicial system was top notch. Time amount of time and effort he and his team put forth during the whole process made me feel comfortable and at ease during the very stressful time leading up to the court date, I knew that I was in good hands. In court is where he really shined. He presented my case in a very respectful, collected, and thorough manner. He knew how to respond to the opposing counsel's tactics in a way that the judge was able to really hear my side and argued my case eloquently. He was very well prepared, and was ready to fight for my rights as a father. He did an amazing job, and in the end I was granted everything I had asked for in the RFO. During my whole interaction with Don he was very straightforward and honest. I am 100% grateful for all his hard work and help with my case. Don is one of a kind, I highly recommend him to my family and friends that are looking for counsel. Thank you Don!

Child Custody & Name Change Success!

From the start, Donald was very responsive, and attentive to the details of my case. He was successful in helping me win two cases, on two different occasions, and is definitely a lawyer that I can entrust with any family legal issue. My family and I are truly blessed to have trusted him with our dif...ficult child custody case. Mr. Desimone stands with professionalism and respect in the court room, as his experience allows him to communicate effectively with the judges. Additionally, he always proceeds with caution, and is strategic when tough obstacles are presented in a case. Regarding cost, Donald’s pricing is reasonable and proportionate to the quality of his work.

Worth Every Penny!

When I knew I needed a lawyer, I began calling around to gather information (availability, retainer fee, hourly rate, etc.). Every call went to voice-mail. Only one lawyer called me back, Donald DeSimone! On that first call, Don was kind, considerate, and understanding. He answered my questions..., explained the next steps, and told me he would be there for me if I chose to have him represent me. Ultimately, I hired Don. Every step of the way, through two long years dealing with the games, threats, bullying, slinging lies, and false accusations that the other side did, Don remained professional and understanding. Because of his years of experience in family law, he helped me stay the course and walk the straight and narrow. He helped me manage my emotions and expectations against the realities of the law and the antics of the other side. Don was always quick to respond even when office hours were over. He worked hard, revealing his experience and dedication to helping me through this extremely difficult process. In the end, we prevailed​. I highly recommend choosing Donald DeSimone to represent you.
