Outstanding Legal Representation

7 years post divorce, thinking I’m finally free and clear of my ex-wife, she decides to try and make “divorce” an occupation and sues me for additional child support, this despite the fact that one of our children had reached the age of emancipation. I had already dealt with several other matrimonial... attorneys all of whom were your typical divorce lawyers, reprehensible human beings whose mantra was, “show me your money and watch me make it disappear”. What a wonderful legal system we have. Bob Vella was referred to me by another attorney. One could only begin to imagine my skepticism. My experience with Mr. Vella was the complete antithesis of my experience with my previous 2 attorneys. He is the pinnacle of professionalism. He shows genuine caring and concern for his clients as well as for their families. His knowledge of the law combined with the obvious respect he commands in the courtroom is beyond reproach. Several judges commented on how lucky I was to have him representing me. While he has a busy practice he was never too busy to take my phone calls and answer my questions. He was always punctual to court dates and most importantly was focused entirely on my case while there rather than running from court room to court room like so many other attorneys do. Needless to say his expertise and professionalism lead to me wining my case. I would recommend Mr. Vella to anyone n need of excellent legal representation
