John L. Roncone III

Atty. Roncone represented me in the divorce of a marriage of 28 years. He worked tirelessly on my behalf. He cannot be challenged on his knowledge of the law. He kept me grounded making me fully understand that we deal with the law, as it stands. There is no room for emotion or negative reaction...s. I believe him to be w man of unshakeable integrity.

Very professional, knowledgeable, thoughtful and thorough.

I walked into Attorney Jay Roncone’s office for the very first consultation very nervous and overwhelmingly stressed. By the time I left, I felt very relieved, calm and collected after the meeting. Jay was very supportive and understanding towards me and my situation. He provided me all the info...rmation I needed to know with respect to divorce proceedings in my state and all the possible options available to me. Whenever I had questions regarding my situation, he was very responsive and always provided thorough answers and additional advice. Jay is very very professional, knowledgeable, detail oriented, thoughtful and thorough. Throughout the whole process, I felt that he always had my best interests in mind. Jay and his team made a very difficult process easier. I went in wanted a quick divorce, but when it was all over, I ended up with better results than expected. I would highly recommend attorney Jay Roncone. Thank you. I'm glad I had you to represent me.

Divorce Case

To all, I was in a very difficult divorce situation that was extremely complicated and bitter. My current lawyer was in over his head and I knew I had to make a move or risk losing everything. I heard of John Jay Roncone, a divorce and custody specialist. I retained Attorney Roncone and he com...pletely turned my situation around. He is remarkably organized and took charge of my very, very complicated divorce proceedings; not only do I see my kids regularly, I also regained my financial stability that was on the verge of collapse. Attorney Roncone knew my situation better than I did which is a testament to his determination. He cared about me and my children as if they were family. Attorney Roncone is a tireless, organized, devoted and skilled litigator who took control and gave me confidence. When I felt myself tiring and fading, he would pick me up! In Addition, he taught me about the legal system and various options that were before me. I was truly impressed and highly recommend attorney Roncone for any of your legal needs in particular divorce. Please take my word for it, this is the attorney that you want on your side and certainly not the one that you want against you.

Couldn't ask for a better partner

Obviously divorce is one of the most stressful and anxiety provoking events in a persons life. Atty Roncone and his staff provided guidance, support and reassurance during my entire process - and it is quite a process! They responded quickly to calls/emails, explained the legal procedures in a wa...y that demystified the process and continue to provide technical assistance as roadblocks come up. I highly recommend their services and am very pleased I found Atty Roncone.

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.
