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.

The best!

Jay is an extremely knowledgeable, ethical and professional divorce attorney. He consistently did an outstanding job of providing information in a way that was easy to understand. He always explained the pros and cons and all of my options in a way that easily enabled me to confidently make difficult... decisions. I was impressed by his attention to detail and his ability to remember even the most minute details of my case. I always felt confident that Jay had my best interests in mind and was fighting hard for me. He always returned phone calls and responded to email promptly. I felt like he was always available to me when I needed his legal advice. Jay is also very kind and understanding. He realizes that divorce is very difficult and emotional and was always very patient and sympathetic when I was overwhelmed by the process. I would, and have, recommended Jay to friends and family. If I ever find myself in a situation again where I need legal advice, Jay is the first person I would call, without hesitation.

Amazing!

Jay introduced himself and his staff to me, listened to what was my issues and started me on my journey to getting a fair divorce. He was very thorough in what to expect - a simple "I think so" was not a good answer! I liked that because that meant that he took my case seriously which would serve me... very well by the time we got to the end. I would highly recommend Jay and his firm if you are looking for an honest, hard working, and trust worthy person to represent you!!

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.
