A pleasure to work with

Jay, and his staff, were a pleasure to deal with in what could have been an extremely difficult period. Always responded with hours to any question or request and I actually looked forward to our meetings, something I certainly did not expect when I hired a divorce lawyer. The case could not have g...one more smoothly.

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 :)

Highly Recommend!

Attorney Jay Rancone represented me when I had to take my ex-husband back to court on contempt charges. My previous lawyer failed to help me sort thru all the unresolved issues surrounding my divorce. Jay and his staff helped every step of the way. Offering not only legal support but moral support. D...ue to Jay's excellent representation, I was finally able to sucessfully win my case and move forward with my new life. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing legal council.

Emotionally Driven Legal Contracts = Bad Idea

I used Jay for a divorce and associated harassment order case in 2011. Jay and his office provided a high level of support and remained in constant contact with me through all stages of the year long proceedings. The legal system can be confusing, yet it's decisions cause direct and mandatory c...hanges to our lives. I found it very helpful that Jay would take the time to explain what to expect during the various court proceedings. He'd offer his analysis of the situation and relate it to me in simple terms. My options were clearly given to me, along with Attorney Roncone's recommendations. Rather than being swept along through the whole process blindly, I felt that Jay acted as a proxy by which I could navigate the legal system. During a divorce there is substantial paperwork, and lots of facts and figures that must be calculated. I found Attorney Roncone and his staff to be very patient and willing to walk you through the whole process of information gathering. Ultimately, I feel that if I did not have representation by Attorney Roncone I would have been taken advantage of and left with difficult post-marriage circumstances. Circumstances which I would be subject to permanently. I'd highly recommend taking a consultation with Jay and getting his perspective before hiring your next attorney.

The Best I've Had

I chose Jay’s firm at random from the WEB as I live in California and was being sued for divorce in Massachusetts. Best thing my computer has done for me in the last few years I’ve had the opportunity to be represented a few times in my life by legal counsel. I must say that most of the time I... left that relationship with a feeling that I did not leave completely satisfied. This was not the case with Jay. I entered the process feeling that I was going to lose everything and expecting the worse. Honestly I feel I got the better end of the deal in the divorce. Jay is very detailed and doesn’t give in to opposing counsel. He always looks out for your best interest in all aspects of the case. If ever I find myself in need of legal advice or representation again in the State of Massachusetts Roncone Law Offices will be my go to firm.
