Honest, fair, and delivers when it counts

I hired Matthew Sossi after he was recommended to me by a work associate who is a father like me, and who had a fair and successful resolution to his divorce. I wanted a modification to my divorce orders so I can guarantee that I can continue to have my kids in Catholic school and to lower my chil...d support payments. I like how Matthew Sossi tells you how much a phase of the legal battle will cost, charge you for it, and will not ask for more money until that phase is completed. He does not nickle and dime you. Matthew is also honest with you in regards to estimating whether or not you can win a particular argument. I think he leans toward caution on whether or not you can win a judgement. He wants you to know that there is a factor of the unknown regarding what the various judges will decide. Regarding my own court battle, I can say that when faced with a judge against my former spouse and her attorney, Matthew Sossi won 3 of the 4 decisions up for deliberation. The other attorney spoke more, but Matthew stuck to the important points that were a factor in the debate, and resulted in decisions in my favor. As a result of the negotiations and court visits, I have been guaranteed that my children will complete Catholic school, in addition to lower my child support. If you are a good parent who wants an attorney who will fight for you I recommend Matt Sossi. You can ask Mr. Sossi for my contact information if you would like to talk to me before hiring him. Regards, David
