Yvonne M. Rizzo

I had a very difficult case, where no matter who I hired my voice was not being heard. I would go months with out seeing my daughter, due to false allegations or just because mom wanted it that way. She is the only attorney that I had, that has truly put not, just my needs, but my family's needs firs...t. She has an outstanding work ethic, professionalism, and is courteous. To show the broadness of her expertise, just the tip of the iceberg, my case involved CWS, child abuse allegations, child sexual abuse allegations, SART exams, forensic interviews, minor’s council, legal/custody battle, attorney fess, child support, and court assigned child’s therapist. All in which she guided and advised me in. Before Yvonne, I was lost, confused and ready to give up. I had been battling my daughter’s mom since 2013 over the same issues, in pro per and represented, but to no avail. The truth was not coming to light. Her ability to maintain constants communication and follow up whenever I had any questions lets me know that she values her client’s well-being as she understands the stress we go through. Without her council, I know I still would not see my daughter consistently if not at all, but more importantly my daughter’s well being and needs would not have been met. She understands this is not just a case, but her client's life that she fights for. Having Yvonne represent me was the best thing that has not only happen to me, but probably the best thing that has happened for my 5 year old daughter. Now she can finally be a kid and enjoy herself. Be the five year old she deserves to be without the chaos, unstableness, and loyalty conflicts. She finally has a safe place to grow and thrive with both parents being as involved as they can, and more importantly with keeping my daughter's psychological, emotional, and physical needs met. Yvonne made my voice heard in an environment where I was mute and beaten down to be portrayed as a perpetrator. She gave me guidance when I was lost, and more importantly, she gave me hope.
