Gerry was great, and I hope I never need to use him again (for a divorce, that is) ;)

Divorce is never easy, but Gerry made a tough time much easier than it could have been. He managed to keep the divorce negotiations calm and focused, even though O/C liked to take on the incendiary tone of my ex on occasion (not to mention keeping me from being my own worst enemy). One of my childr...en has autism, and Gerry was very sympathetic to that, and to the entire family situation. He helped me to see what was best for us all, and focus on being the best dad I could be under the circumstances. I was dreading the experience (who wouldn't?) but Gerry made it all happen as smoothly as it could. At the end of it all, I looked back and realized how much worse it could have been if not for Gerry. The stories I have heard from others about their divorces make me cringe, and appreciate how my situation turned out even more. Thanks Gerry!

Extremeley professional and helpful during a difficult time

Gerry represented me with my divorce and child custody ten years ago. He was always professional and helpful. I never felt like he was judging me even when the "dirty laundry" was aired and I appreciated it immensely. His knowledge of the law and the family court system was very good. His office staf...f have always been professional and helpful too. During the last decade when there have been issues or questions, I have always been able to talk to Gerry or someone in his office and get help right away. Nobody wants to go through a divorce or deal with custody issues. Having an attorney like Gerry who genuinely cares about you and your case makes it easier to handle. I always felt like he worked towards making sure that my child and I had the best outcome.

One of the "Good Guys"

I retained Gerald Maggio and his firm, The Maggio Law Firm, in 2011 to deal with a Department of Child Support Services case that resulted in an unfair court order to me, as well as to try to resolve the issues of my divorce case which had not been finalized since it started back in 2004. Mr. Maggio... is the fourth attorney that I have had on my case. I have found Mr. Maggio to be the most effective attorney and not only that, but I think he has been the most compassionate and caring. He was recently able to lower my child support to a more fair amount, handled a child support contempt matter favorably, and it appears that Gerry is on track to finally resolve my divorce case after 8 years. Gerry has been very reasonable in his legal fees. I consider him one of the ‘good guys’ and I appreciate all that he has done for me. I highly recommend him.

Reliable and knowledgeable, highly recommended

My divorce case was quite complex and had not moved forward for well over a year when I decided a change was needed and asked Gerry to take the reins. Gerry was personable, knowledgeable and professional at all times. Rather than forcing his opinion he would provide several options with positives and... negatives. Most attorneys I interviewed prior to hiring Gerry tended to take an unrealistically positive view of things that would have only lead to disappointment. I felt Gerry was always honest and straightforward with me, presenting both best and worst case scenarios so I felt well informed and empowered to make the right decisions and consequently we were able to settle the case as quickly as possible.

Thanks for everything Gerry

“I run my own business and I normally do not care to have to deal with attorneys. However, Gerald Maggio handled my divorce case and he helped me get my case resolved without a lot of headache and heartbreak. He answered questions whenever I asked, advised me of my rights, gave me solid advice, and... navigated my case to a good resolution. I hope that I never have to go through another divorce in the future, but I know who to call if I ever do. Thanks for everything!”
