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.

Donald saved my son's life

I thank Donald for literally saving my sons life since Feb 2020 by getting and defending my sole legal and physical custody rights of my son. Donald has helped protect him from a VERY dangerous situation by defeating some of the most expensive lawyers money can buy and doing it MUCH cheaper than them...! My Ex's parents have practically unlimited funds to throw at their lawyers to fight for their hate filled souls. In the beginning they were dead set on stripping my rights as a father leaving me broke with every other weekend with my son. But soon, thanks to Donald, they ended up paying hundreds of thousands for video visits! After 3 years of being forced into court by my ex, our son is safe AND I can still feed him! Donald has been through every single family and criminal law situation many times if over the course of 30 years! I interviewed many lawyers before him and he was the only lawyer that could explain in great detail the exact nature of my situation without hesitation or trying to push me to a decision. He is very quick in the court room during trial, cross examination and making our case to the judge despite my Ex's very well paid and peristant attorneys. We have more fights to fight but I can relax and enjoy life with my son knowing he is protected by Donald DeSimone.

Exceptional Lawyer

I Found Mr DeSimone, luckily, after my prior lawyer had botched my divorce paperwork causing me months delay and expense. Mr DeSimone set up a phone consultation and then an in person meeting had me do all that was required, paperwork document wise and immediately stepped in to an already scheduled... Court date and basically did what should have been months prior within a week. Mr DeSimone answered each and every phone call and text even while in the middle of a busy work day, always immediate communication. The Office colleagues had all paperwork and signatures lined up and ready for me while also answering all of my questions! The whole Office environment works as a team! I feel that Mr DeSimone keeps his word works with you does more then expected and will definitely tell you the truth and help you get your case handled. I will also say that Mr DeSimone is very fair financially doesn't waste your money or time and explains exactly what you are paying for he works with you! I'm very grateful for the experience and outcome. Thank YOU Mr DeSimone!
