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.

Exceptional Attorney

I have hired J. Roncone twice for probate matters, another for something else. I found his law office online in 2009. He did an amazing job, put in lots of hours, research, knew his stuff. The last time I needed him was a last minute hearing, he was there, did a tremendous job, talked me thru it all ...and I walked out of the court room w/my head held high every time. He has never let me down, I would never call anyone else. I feel he is the best lawyer I could ever find, thankful and grateful for his services. He replied back to me same day via e-mail or phone call no matter the circumstances. I also feel very comfortable with the entire staff. They never once made me feel judged or less than. Everything completed in a timely manner, organized, and reliable. He would be my first call, no matter the circumstances.

Highly motivated and talented lawyer. Jay Roncone completes what he sets out to accomplish with favorable results.....

I hired Jay Roncone in order to help resolve a very complicated title issue, after a number of attorneys walked away due to the complex nature of the case. Jay took on this case, and due to his commitment and expertise we resolved our case favorable. He was professional and patiant throughout our c...ase, and we know that we would never have been able to find anyone else that could have done this case for us in such a manner. I could never thank Jay enough for the numerous hours he spent on this case. Jay is still working for us on other cases, and I know we will have a favorable outcome...... I would recommend Jay for any of your needs. He is very knowledgeable in a variaty of areas of law.

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.

Great experience during a very difficult time

I was scared to death when I received the summons in the mail from my ex-boyfriend regarding custody/visitations of our 2 children. I had never experienced going to court before and I knew this was going to be war! I asked many people if they knew of any good lawyers...someone I could trust and wou...ld fight for me and my children. A co-worker of mine recommended Roncone Law Offices. When I stopped by on my lunch break to get more information, Jay came right out of his office and asked me about my situation. He helped calm my fears and I left feeling that I was in good hands. It was clear to me that Jay was very knowledgeable, and helped me understand the process that I would be going through. He always "kept me in the loop" and was quick to respond whenever I had any questions. It also became clear to me that Jay was not in this business to rip people off. He made me feel like I wasn't just a number, but that my case truly mattered. Jay continued to coach me during the 1 1/2 year battle and maintained his professionalism throughout that time. When children are involved, no one "wins"...but I do feel that because of Jay, I was able to get all of my wishes on the judgement. Jay is not only my lawyer, but he is now my friend.
