Child custody and child support

Great lawyer and person. Highly recommend to anyone in need of a lawyer. Hired Daniel last year in august and has helped me thru every step of the process for family court. Help me get 50/50 visitation time with my children when the mother would refuse. Child support court went the same way was being... garnished and Daniel helped fix the situation flawlessly. Thanks for the help Daniel.

Posted by Karla | March 21, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Support

Attorney Cargnelutti is a wonderful attorney!

I needed to retain an attorney to help me with my complicated child support case where father is hiding income. I met with Mr. Cargnelutti and he took his time to listen and understand my situation. He identified quickly the issues of the case and proposed a detailed plan of action to be taken. Mr. C...argnelutti has been timely, detailed, professional and compassionate when dealing with my case which is now set for trial. I feel confident about the outcome as Mr. Cargnelutti not only knows the law but he is skilled in presenting a winning case in a professional and classy manner. I highly recommend him.

Family lawyer | Mar 30

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. I had the opportunity to share an office suite with Daniel Cargnelutti for several years so I got to see Daniel work on a daily basis. Daniel is one of the hardest working and most conscientious lawyers I know. He gives every client his very best. And his best is quite good. Daniel spends the time before court so that when he is in court he is fully prepared. I have also been opposing counsel to Daniel. I can tell you that he is a fierce fighter for his clients. He is not unreasonable, but his clients can be sure they are getting a favorable result. I enthusiastically recommend Daniel to anybody who needs an outstanding family law attorney."
