Family Law

Attorney Roncone provided legal services to our family for an emotionally/charged parental rights dispute. Not only was his professional expertise most impressive, but his ability to understand the psychological issues resulted in agreement without a trial. Brilliant, calming and level headed all c...ome to mind when describing his attributes. It has been a pleasure!

So, so, so HAPPY with Attorney Roncone - I can't say enough good things!

I have worked with Attorney "Jay" Roncone for the last 18 months after my brother (who also hired him!) recommended him. I hired Jay to help me with my divorce and what unfortunatey ended up being a child custody "battle." There's nothing more personal than your children and he was both extremely k...ind and "tough" with me (in the right ways - did not sugar coat it) throughout this process and I truly felt protected and know that he cared about my children's well-being too. My (now ex!) husband and I both have high-powered jobs, and both of us had significant income and assets before our marriage - he helped me to protect my premarital assets and frankly, I ended up better off financially than I imagined I would have when this started. Financially, he was very tough and advocated for me for an outcome I could not be more satisfied with. When I met Jay, I was scared, nervous, and worried about my children and my financial future - never mind dealing with the ending of my marriage (I was a wreck). He understood my concerns and fears, made me comfortable from the very beginning, and I truly felt like he (and his staff) held my hand the whole way through. I recommend him wholeheartedly.

Great job

Jay is professional and knowledgeable about divorce law and proceedings. He gave sound advice and achieved a successful outcome to my case - the case was settled with everything in my favor, including visitation and child support payments. Jay communicated all information about my case through ema...il and phone calls. His office staff is responsive and very helpful and helped negotiate tricky paperwork and answered questions about my case. Jay and his staff made a difficult situation more manageable and I would recommend him to anyone.

grandparent visitation rights

I hired Jay Roncone lll to take my case for grandparent visitation rights. When I met with Jay for the first time for a consult, he made me feel comfortable and he understood all the points made for this case. I had a falling out with my son which led to him not allowing me to see my grandson, wh...o had lived with me for 2 1/2 years at the age of 5. The result was heartbreaking and left me despondent.. Jay Roncone gave me hope when other attorneys I contacted did not. Articles upon articles I read regarding grandparent rights were glim. Jay helped me through the process which was simple, and he contacted me every step of the way. In less than 6 months I was able to see my grandson on week-ends and take him on vacations, and also see him on holidays. I am truly grateful for Jay for all he has done and especially being a friend for me when I was alone during the whole court process. I now have my grandson in my life again. I hope some day my son will also open his heart. Thank You Jay. Lisa R

client

I have had a great experience with Jay Roncone. It was a very difficult time for me, still is, and Jay as well as his staff, has always been there to help with any questions or concerns I might have. I have recently recommended his practice to others. Divorce is never easy and in my case I had a 1 yr... old in the mix ( he's 3 now). My ex is very difficult to deal with and Jay has always been patient with me anytime I've "freaked out" about something :)
