An Honest Lawyer

“Mr. Maggio filed a divorce case for me in late 2010. My husband then filed a competing divorce case around the same time in another, distant county, we then had competing cases to deal with. Mr. Maggio was able to ultimately resolve the case in one of the counties and have that case consolidated i...nto the other case and then transferred to the county that I live in with my children. Mr. Maggio came highly recommended by a friend of mine who had been represented by him, he is easy to work and speak with. He doesn't just tell you what you want to hear, I appreciated his honesty after speaking with a couple other attorneys. I was very happy with my decision in choosing Mr. Maggio to represent me in my divorce. He explained all of my rights, all scenarios and options in my case, and negotiated a very fair result in my case. His staff was also enjoyable to work with. I would not hesitate to refer any of my family or friends to Mr. Maggio.”

Mr. Maggio the best and Fairest Divorce Lawyer in OC

“Gerald A. Maggio has represented me in an ugly, complicated divorce case for the past year, and my case is one with unusual circumstances that have convoluted many of the issues in the case. Moreover, although I know that many other divorcing persons feel the same way, my spouse in particular has b...een nothing but vindictive and vitriolic towards me on all issues in this case. I have had to deal with a business valuation, cash flow analysis, child custody evaluation, outrageous claims by my wife, a meritless restraining order, and a criminal case, among other issues, all instigated by my spouse with the intent to keep our children away from me and to take every last dime. I thank Mr. Maggio very much for helping me resolve these issues as favorable to me as I think was possible under the difficult circumstances of my case. I found Gerry to be easy to work with, knowledgeable, practical, and able to navigate me and my case through the most difficult time of my life with skill, caring, and compassion. Divorce is often expensive, and my case was one example of that, but I also feel it important to note that my wife’s legal fees were more than double what Mr. Maggio’s legal fees were, for essentially the same amount of work.”

Grateful

“Gerry Maggio represented me in my divorce case in 2011-2012, and my case went all the way to trial because we did not get a reasonable settlement offer from the other side. We were in trial for 2 days, which was very emotional and exhausting for me. I found Mr. Maggio to be an excellent litigator ...in court and represented my position assertively while also being very comforting to me throughout the trial. The court made its ruling which resulted in an outcome that was definitely better than I had expected, and I was very pleased with the resolution of my case. I was very pleased with Mr. Maggio’s representation of me in my case and I would highly recommend him to anyone.”

Effective And Professional With High Integrity

Gerry was very effective and professional when I used him in 2004. California Divorce Law is a toxic waste dump and you DON'T ever want to go there. If you have to, you need a knowledgeable, professional, and supportive guide. Gerry's patience and calm was also exemplary given my confused state of mi...nd at the time. He was flexible in dealing with my situation. Knew when to lead and when to listen. Very high integrity. I would use him again and highly recommend him.

Efficient.. smart Attorney... trustworthy.

Mr. Maggio came highly recommended by an attorney I had used for my own business. He was efficient and honest in dealing with my divorce. Unlike my ex's attorney... Gerry did not set out to bill more hours than necessary. He explained things to me well. He shared the risks and benefits of my decisio...ns. I especially recommend him to those that have complex situations and need an attorney with extra knowledge of divorce cases.
