I have to be frank... I don't care for lawyers in general. The first lawyer I used during my divorce was more interested in grandstanding, delay and billing me for the hours he wasted. A few years ago I needed to find a new lawyer to renegotiate my child support and visitation schedule. Gerry came hi...ghly recommended from a friend of a friend. From the minute I met him, I liked him. He is calm, smart, skillful and friendly. No massive ego, no superiority complex, just an excellent lawyer who thoughtfully works your case and fights for your side. I would not hesitate to hire Gerry again or refer him to my friends and family. He’ll change your perception of lawyers for the better.

Mr. Maggio gave me excellent support for my divorce. He worked with me to get a solution with which I was comfortable and yet made sure that I understood my situation and protected my interest. Every step of the way Mr. Maggio explained my options clearly in an even way, letting me make my decision...s with full understanding. I would recommend Mr. Maggio to anyone needing family law assistance.

My name is Scott. I started working with Mr. Gerry Maggio in December of 2010. I was a few months into my divorce. Sadly, I was working previously with another lawyer that absolutely made this process ten times as bad as it already is/was. I was overcharged, treated disrespectfully, and was put i...n positions to shovel out more money for court appearances that could have been avoided. My stress levels were unbearable. I knew I needed someone else to represent me. I found Gerry through a radio referral program on KFI called “Handle on the law”. (It is important to note that there were only a handful of attorneys that were referred). I read some of the testimonials on his site, and boy, this was the kind of man I needed to represent me. Not only do you need a good attorney in what has definitely been the most difficult time of my life, but a friend as well. Gerry was both. I also really enjoyed my conversations with Susan. They were both empathetic to my situation and worked to resolve each issue to my satisfaction. In my line of business, you only succeed if you are trustworthy, dependable and honorable. Gerry is all that, which is why we worked well together. I found his fees to be reasonable as well, especially for the Newport Beach area. My divorce in now final, although I am certain I will continue to need his services going forward (I have one of those kind of Ex’s). I wish all of you reading this the best luck in your difficult situation. Your first step is to call Gerry. ~Scott

Gerald Maggio was my attorney for a divorce many years ago. I had initially retained another attorney, who failed to live up to the agreements and promises and who continued to take money without providing the legal support. I found Mr Maggio in the yellow pages, contacted his office, and had an ap...pointment the same day. He was able to take over my case and within 6 months had everything taken care of. Not only was he professional, he and his staff gave me the feeling of personal attention which helped me through a very difficult time in my life. I had not been in contact with Mr. Maggio since 2003, but recently needed assistance with obtaining copies of the documents from that legal issue. I sent him an email and he responded back within 24 hours. Great customer service and again, that personal touch...Thank you Mr. Maggio for your help.

Gerald Maggio is a terrific family law attorney. He helped me through a very difficult process which was a critical point of my life in transitioning into the world of being a divorced parent. Thank you Gerald! You really helped me achieve what I needed in my divorce and as a mother, this was critic...al to me and my son's future.
