Strong and Knowledge Attorney

Ms Russo has represented me for 4+ years for DVRO, dissolution, DVRO renewal and RFOs. She has a wealth of knowledge in the area and integrity. While she may not always advise me in what I am wanting m/hoping to hear, she is always truthful and realistic. I have never walked into a court ro...om without feeling secure in my representation, nor have I left the court room feeling underrepresented or not heard. Leaving an abusive marriage was tough and dealing with the post-separation abuse was not something I had anticipated, nor the experience I was expecting. I cannot emphasize enough how important it was to have a strong, ethical attorney representing me who did not cut corners or misrepresent. Especially in the beginning of the process of separation/temporary DVRO when I was disillusioned myself. If I was to restart this process I would still hire Ms Russo again without hesitation.

Highly Recommend!

I was looking for a good family law attorney to handle a post-divorce modification and was very fortunate to find a great one! Jocelyn spent the appropriate time with me to understand the situation and was able to diligently formulate a viable strategy and ultimately come to a quick resolution. I wou...ld characterize her as attentive, engaged, compassionate, empathetic and responsive. I would highly recommend Jocelyn.

Excellent Divorce Attorney!! 100% Recommended!

Going through a divorce is one of the most challenging times you will ever have to face. To have a compassionate, detail-oriented attorney to help you navigate through the divorce is essential. Jocelyn is best characterized by her attentiveness in taking the time to understand your situation, your ca...se and goals, all while being extremely supportive. She crafts her legal strategies based on your particular scenario without resorting to cookie-cutter tactics. She listens carefully and counsels wisely. My children and I were so fortunate to have her representing us.

Best attorney monrmey can buy!!

Tools I went through a horrible almost 2 year divorce battle with an abusive narcissist. I was married to the monster for 25 years. I hired an attorney in desperation that did absolutely nothing but take 5 k From me, lie, and not return calls. He did not file documents, put wrong numbers on... court documents and I was at my wits end ready to give up! A friend told me about this firm and even though they were a bit more on the expensive side, they were a thousand percent worth it. I could not imagine going through this battle without them in my corner. They were there for me every step of r the way answering every question, and if my attorney was out of office I was informed and someone would step in to fill in the blanks and address my concerns. I never felt alone , or taken advantage of in this process. Divorce is a horrible stressful thing that I would not wish on my worst enemy, but if you have to go through it, especially if it's a difficult situation like mine was with the abusive narcissist, I HIGHLY recommend calling them today!! They worked with me to keep my bills down as I was not working and wasn't even getting spousal support when I hired them .I have no words how to describe how happy I am with with Jocelyn, Amy, Dallas, Erin and the whole team that helped me through this incredibly difficult process. They were worth every penny, and I am referring everyone I know to this firm.!!

  • 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.
