Superhero disguised as an Attorney! :)

I would like to start by saying that I do not leave reviews. Like eeever. You can't even PAY me! HA! I am just too busy typically and reviewing stuff isn't something that registers in my head! BUT this business has earned a HUGE exception to my normal "policy" haha! I had a consultation with Atto...rney Hugo Johnson yesterday, and now I feel like singing praises from the rooftops for Mr. Johnson AND Dellino Law Group! Backstory: I am dealing with a very complicated and hostile multi-state divorce and custody battle (to the death...or feels like it anyway) that has been dragged on by my ex-spouse for SEVEN years! (I keep trying to shake him off to no avail...take a hint, dude. eyeroll) I am no Attorney, and trying to navigate the Court system as a pro se litigant from all the way across the County has been...well, an impossible and disheartening task, really. And to be honest, I had all but lost hope after speaking with a handful of other less than scrupulous Attorneys in the area who were flat out rude and disrespectful to me (one even laughed at me!), while simultaneously asking me to immediately give them $20,000. Ummm no thanks! How about this single finger wave buh-bye as a consolation prize, though? Dellino Law Group however, is STELLAR! Hugo Johnson is extremely knowledgeable, professional and courteous, unlike every other Attorney I have EVER spoken to. Such a breath of fresh air! I had a full hour with Mr. Johnson and he listened intently and asked appropriate questions to make sense of my case expeditiously. He then started by offering the quickest and most cost-effective solutions for me without my even asking! WHAT?! Hugo also gave the most sound legal advice I have had from anyone, and this was without his even being on retainer yet! This is unheard of, and such a better way to do business than the typical Law Firm that only seems to exist to bleed clients dry for as much as they can without offering much of anything useful in return. Dellino Law Group IS "The Team Who Cares", just as they advertise, (I see what they did there. Sneaky nice Attorneys! The nerve! HA!) and I 100% trust placing my delicate and high stakes battle for the most important thing in my life...the custody of my babies...in Hugo Johnson's more than capable hands. Hugo (let's just call him Superman, mmkay?) has given me hope, so much that I actually SLEPT last night for the first time in months, and most importantly, I no longer feel alone with this scary, awful battle in front of me.

Fantastic attorney! Friendly and personable

Mr. Johnson advised me on a complex matter involving harassment on an online selling site. I consulted him to get additional insight on this case beyond the business law attorney I had initially retained to craft an emergency cease & desist. His advice was strictly tailored to help me take care of th...e matter with as little money and effort spent on my part as would be required. He also reviewed the cease & desist I had sent, and advised me on the subtleties of harassment law and jurisdiction, which I was not familiar with. His advice and sympathy for my situation were very much appreciated. I would recommend Mr. Johnson for ANY case involving harassment or threats.

Fantastic Attorney!

Words cannot express how lucky I was to have found Hugo as my attorney to manage my recent divorce case. This is the first time I have worked with an attorney who I felt actually tried to keep costs down for me. He also knew certain specialized case law which I believe the average lawyer would have... missed and was critical to the positive outcome for me. Hugo was always responsive to all my questions, and was a pleasure to work with. I am happy to recommend Hugo to anyone! Jon

Fast, Honest, and Caring

I worked with Hugo for my legal separation case. I mentioned to him that I didn't want to attack my spouse and he was sensitive toward that and gave good advice on how to proceed. He acted quickly to get me and my son the protection he needed, gave me honest feedback about the case, explained things ...at length to clarify questions, responded quickly to questions/concerns, and always had a great attitude. I'd recommend him to anyone. There was only one breakdown in communication; I had asked him to take a break from working on my case and he didn't. Before I found out, he had put several more hours into the case that I couldn't afford at that time so I (sadly) had to end my contract with him. They were very helpful and lenient with me in getting that all ended and cleaned up and he met with me one last time and went over the next steps of my case which was helpful and appreciated.

Superlative Counselor

Let me start off my saying I went with a big named Divorce for Men firm, Goldberg Jones, initially. My initial lawyer left and my second lawyer did not answer phone calls, emails, and texts, unless it was time to collect his monthly charges. Mr. Johnson was very responsive, compassionate during one... of the toughest times of my life. Going through a divorce is very difficult especially if it is not amicable. The last thing you need is a lawyer who adds to the stress as the lawyers at Goldberg Jones did. Dellino law group is amazing across the board. They do not tell you what you want to hear and then let you down. They fight to the hilt for you. Hugo is very knowledgeable and highly ethically. He and his firm are not about billing and collecting. They offer amazing service. I have to say I am a very demanding client who wants answers and results, yesterday. Hugo and Michelle did not once get frustrated with me. If you are a busy person who wants unparalleled service go with Dellino law firm and ask for Hugo. He is simply phenomenal.
