Knowledgeable & Capable

After meeting with Gerry, I felt good about his knowledge and ability to understand my situation. He was able to provide guidance on what to expect during the divorce process, set realistic time expectations for the case and answer my questions on likely outcomes. During the process Gerry was able ...to answer questions on my "what if" scenarios and also keep me focused on the overall case so we can get to resolution instead letting me get too worked up on winning small battles that came up. HIs price and retainer were very fair and overall I was pleased with how Gerry represented me.

A lawyer that's not out to nickel and dime you

After spending countless hours reading online reviews of all the possible divorce attorneys in Orange County, I finally decided to consult with Gerry. With 3 young kids at home and being new to this whole "divorce" process, I felt completely overwhelmed. From all the legal terminology to the differen...t "FL" forms I needed to complete and what my legal rights were, I was in desperate need of legal advice and assistance. After my initial consult with Gerry, my mind was at ease. Never once did I feel pressured during that meeting to retain him. He was confident and reassuring and provided me with the direction I needed. I am extremely satisfied with the services received and happy I made the decision to retain him. He was extremely professional, compassionate and knowledgeable throughout the whole process and a true pleasure to work with. I was also amazed by how fast he returned my final judgment. Thank you Gerry for all your help and hard work.

Very cost-concious

My case was not simple to say the least. My ex filed for divorce in two counties simultaneously and tried to hide his income to avoid child support in addition to being a very high-conflict individual, and those are just the highlights. Gerry dealt with my ex's shenanigans with a forceful tone when n...ecessary, but is very even-keeled and calm. He also doesn't encourage useless filings just to be able to charge you for them, which is much appreciated. I was in court almost every other month for a year, but having Gerry fight for me made it more bearable. His staff is great too. I highly recommend him!

Professional, Friendly, Fair and Patient

My now ex-wife and I went through a lengthy mediation and both Gerry and Carol were a pleasure to work with and made the process less stressful. They were professional, fair and friendly in dealing with both of us. Although very amicable it took the two of us quite some time to settle on a final agr...eement, and Gerry was very patient with us throughout. He did not hinder us to rush anything and gave us time to come to an agreement on our own terms, in an adult manner. Gerry and Carol...you guys rock!

My Legal Superhero!

Mr. Maggio is my Legal Superhero. I am very happy with the outcome of my case and it would not have been possible without Mr. Maggio and his team, including Carol Sullivan, who were so wonderful to work with! I am thankful for all of the hard work and effort that they put into my case. I come to t...he end of my professional relationship with his firm with mixed feelings. Delighted on one hand that we achieved the goal and outcome I was seeking, but sad too, as I feel like I am parting from trusted friends I have gained on this journey. While I hope that I do not need Mr. Maggio’s services ever again for a divorce case, I know that I have a trusted legal team to go to for any of the other services he provides. He has my wholehearted and highest recommendation for anyone needing a divorce and/or family law firm.
