I highly recommend Gerard’s A. Falzone’s family law services

I highly recommend Gerard’s A. Falzone’s family law services. At the time that I contacted him, I was really in a bind. My 16 year old daughter had been physically abused by her Mother who suffers from bipolar disorder. She did not feel safe returning to her Mother’s house, and I needed to know how... to protect her as quickly as possible. I had left messages at 6 different attorneys that day, and only 3 returned the calls. Gerard answered my call the first time, and I was able to meet with him later that day. My case was in Marin County, but the fact that he has offices in the East By as well as the North Bay made meeting with him much easier. He is very experienced in the area of family law, and explained to me what channels I would need to take to protect her, and gain custody. His knowledge and confidence in my case, based on the facts, set my mind at ease, and helped me get through a very difficult time. Within a few days I was able to legally gain temporary custody, and within 2 months gain full legal and physical custody. My daughter’s life has become stable since then, and we both owe Gerard a debt of gratitude. John Hyde

hands on, best buy.

I was in the middle of a custody battle and the lawyer I had hired was non responsive. I was in a panic. My court day was weeks away and I couldn't get her to return any phone calls, or finish needed paperwork. I met with Gerard (after a personal recommendation and checking him out here) and he quick...ly gathered everything that was needed and went to court with me. He works alone- he is the one who answers the phone, who fills out paperwork and files. You are not paying for overhead, or to sit in a big office an have someone get you water while you wait and wait. He really listens and knows every detail of the case. He guided me through every step; we prepared for my appointments with the court mediators so I was able to articulately express my concerns as valid. He had many creative ideas, and often had ideas to avoid additional expenses. He really tried to reach an agreement in good faith so we could avoid court and court costs. My ex was not receptive to that, so we went to court twice before coming to an agreement. The agreement I finally got really put me in the drivers seat, took my son's best interests to heart, and had safe guards in place. I really hope not to be in a situation where I need a lawyer again, and a large part of that is because of Gerard Falzone's efforts on my behalf; but if I do, I would know who to call. I can not recommend him highly enough.

honest, fair and trustworthy!

I was in a bind -- I needed help, but did not have a fortune to spend. Mr. Falzone listed to my concerns and helped me resolve a long standing child support issue in a positive way. He is willing to work with you and if you are willing and able that can help keep the costs down plus make a difficult ...situation resolve quickly and positively for all concerned. In fact, my ex-husband's new wife used Mr. Falzone's legal counsel in ending her prior marriage! That speaks volumes to his integrity and his honesty. Divorce and child support/custody issues can be very emotionally draining and very expensive. He listened, and gave me options which helped me take better care of my children without harming their relationship with their father. Many attorneys just care about the money. Mr. Falzone cares about what is RIGHT for you and for your children (if you have any) -- this gives you the chance to move on. He clearly believes in what he does and is a advocate for you!
