absolute BEST divorce attorney in Orange County

Based on my experience, I think that Mr. Maggio is the absolute BEST divorce attorney in Orange County, especially considering all the unethical attorneys around. Making the choice to trust Mr. Maggio and his legal team was the best decision I could have done for this difficult time in my life. The ...trust and confidence that I have in his team has been earned with hours of diligent work and years of experience and it showed in my trials. Yes, we had several trials in my case in the last year and a half. Going through a divorce can be a nightmare, but having the reliable assistance of an outstanding attorney like Mr. Maggio made the difference and exactly what I needed. Mr. Maggio helped me to get full custody of my daughter, prevailed at trial on the contested issue of what the date of separation in our divorce case was, and won at trial on the big issue of my investment properties being declared my separate properties. The challenges were huge and the hearings were long and tough. However, in the end, we won every single hearing. Mr. Maggio's knowledge, responsiveness and, more importantly, his authenticity and guidance during my complex divorce kept me stable and successful. I’m so glad that I contacted him. Thank you again, Gerry!

Honesty and Integrity

My experience with Gerry Maggio, Esq. was very positive. I changed Attoneys midstream in my case and was pleased I made the decision. Gerry is authentic, provides solid dispassionate advice and has lots of personal integrity. If you value a person who listens more than he talks, he’s someone to se...riously consider working with. Gerry is a rare breed of family law attorneys who is committed to getting you the result you are seeking in your divorce matter - as opposed to padding his fees and dragging things out. And since Gerry is a solo practitioner, he’s also very efficient. Perhaps you can find a bigger firm with lots of staff and a fancy office - however, if it’s results you are seeking at a reasonable price, then Gerry Maggio is a perfect choice!

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.
