Donald Salvatore Desimone

I am so thankful to have found Donald DeSimone during an incredibly stressful and difficult time in my life. I spoke with many attorneys before finding Mr. DeSimone, and what immediately stood out to me was how genuinely confident he was in my case and how much he believed in me. He reassured me that... I had a strong case and, even if I ultimately chose not to retain him, that I was capable of representing myself. That was incredibly meaningful to me because, unfortunately, some of the other attorneys I spoke with made me feel as though I would not succeed without representation or that my case was not strong enough to take on. Mr. DeSimone never made me feel that way. He listened, took my concerns seriously, explained things clearly, and gave me confidence during a very difficult period. I trusted his judgment, and having him in my corner gave me a sense of reassurance and peace of mind that I desperately needed. Beyond his legal knowledge and experience, I can genuinely tell that Mr. DeSimone cares about his clients as people. He is compassionate, straightforward, professional, and, most importantly, a very genuine human being. I am incredibly grateful for the support and guidance he has given me, and I would absolutely reach out to him again and confidently recommend him to my friends and family. -AB

I know Donald through our church community, and when I needed legal representation for adjusting child and spousal support, I turned to him. Throughout this ongoing and sensitive process, Donald has been exceptionally professional, attentive, and reliable. Adjusting support agreements can be stressfu...l, but having someone knowledgeable and trustworthy on my side has made a world of difference. I highly recommend his services to anyone seeking professional legal guidance.

I had a very disappointing experience with this attorney, and based on my experience, I would not recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney who will genuinely fight for their case. When I retained him, I believed I was hiring someone who was prepared to fight tooth and nail for me. He told me ...that I had a very strong case and gave me confidence that he would present the details and evidence to the judge in a way that would give me a strong chance of winning. Unfortunately, my experience after retaining him was very different from what I was led to believe beforehand. I retained him for approximately a year and a half, and during that entire time, he only appeared in court in person once. Most of the time, he appeared remotely. The opposing side consistently appeared in person, and I became increasingly concerned that our lack of in-person representation was not presenting my case in the way I expected or wanted. When I raised my concerns with him after another court appearance where he appeared remotely, instead of having a professional conversation with me about my concerns, he became extremely angry and called me yelling. The following day, he sent me what I felt was an insincere apology and then dropped me as a client. Throughout my time as his client, I also felt that things discussed with me did not always match what ultimately happened or was communicated in court. This left me feeling confused and, ultimately, that I could not rely on the information I was being given about how my case was being handled. Another major frustration was feeling like I was repeatedly being asked for more money while not seeing the level of effort, communication, and representation that I expected when I initially retained him. Overall, I felt that I was not taken seriously as a client. I retained him because I believed, based on what he told me, that I had a strong case and that he was prepared to fight for me. Instead, I ended up feeling disappointed, frustrated, and abandoned as a client. I am sharing my experience because I would want others to know what my experience was before making the decision to retain this attorney. I personally would not use him again and would encourage anyone considering him to ask very specific questions about communication, court appearances, case strategy, fees, and what level of representation they can realistically expect.

Going through a custody case is one of the most stressful experiences I’ve dealt with. I originally started the process representing myself, but it quickly became clear I needed experienced legal guidance. After researching and speaking with multiple lawyers, Donald DeSimone stood out immediately.... From our very first phone call, I felt heard and reassured that I had found the right attorney. Don and his Office Manager Careen were both incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. Their professionalism, communication, and support gave me a sense of relief during a very difficult situation. I truly appreciate everything they did for me and my son.
