Cognetti & Associates

While no attorney can change certain ugly facts about a situation, it's almost imperative to have someone on your side who exhibits an appreciable level of humanity when it comes to family law. Cara represented me during multiple custody conferences in a relatively short time frame and was continuously responsive to my concerns and empathetic while at the same time capable of helping me maintain a straightforward approach. She also helped me avoid what I believe would have been protracted litigation and we ultimately achieved an acceptable solution. I hate to have to recommend a counselor to anyone whose case has escalated beyond a particular degree of absurdity based on the mere fact that such a situation has to be faced; that said, I personally don't think I could have asked for better representation.

I have been working with Cara Boyanowski with Cognetti & Associates. A divorce and custody process is not fun for anyone, and Cara has kept me grounded throughout an emotional process. Cara has offered very sound advice and has been very upfront about things to come and the next moves. She is very down to earth and direct, which I appreciate even when she has to tell me things that I don't necessarily want to hear. I would recommend Cara and Cognetti & Associates to anyone who is facing this unfortunate process.

It has been such a relief to work with Attorney Cognetti because of her competence, responsiveness and attention to detail during our stressful legal situation. We deeply value her perspective and good judgement, and her work ethic is remarkable. I’d highly recommend her to anyone in need of a good family attorney.

I made a appointment with the owner for a consultation. Her secretary called me to ask me if I wanted to make an appointment with Maria cognetti or her associate for less money. I stated that my friend was going through a divorce but had no money, does she take cases like that ? I was told she does at time take cases like that but we had to go through the consultation first to see if she would. We went to see her, she said she never takes cases like that and her office would of never told me such things! Well this was the only office I ever talked to so 100% I was told that! She said she has never done that. I spent 509.00 for nothing! I do not make that kind of money and for her office to deceive me like that was not right! I would have never came there to give someone 509.00 for nothing!!!! Her secretary also didn’t tell me she was allergic to perfume… but Maria basically called me a liar that her firm said she sometimes takes cases where the client pays afterwards, but shocked her we weren’t told about her perfume allergy?…. So I’m out of 500. For nothing, I said would I showed up to just give you 509.00 for nothing? Just think about that….. if they were honest at the beginning, and if it was a fact they never did that I would of never gone to hand over 509.00 cash for nothing…. Think about that…. And yes it was the only law firm I talked to! She made it seem like I talked to another lawyer. No 100% cognetti law firm 100% that they told me she sometimes takes special cases with no money… so I feel scammed. I wasted hard earned money for nothing!!!! We don’t make a lot in life to hand out for nothing! The fact she made me feel like I lied about what her secretary said is even worse!!!! Think about this … why would I come there if I had no money? I asked the secretary that question! She said yes she does take cases like yours with no money upfront, but you have to get the consultation first to see if your case qualifies.. then Maria said she has never taken a case like that ever!!!!!! Wow bye 509.00 for nothing!!!!!!!!!!

Cognetti Law Group was recommended to me by a friend who is a lawyer, and it turned out to be very good advice. Attorney Boyanowski listened to all of my concerns and answered all of my questions promptly. She was extremely efficient and knowledgeable about every detail encountered. I felt that she was genuinely concerned about me and that I was well taken care of. All of the staff at the firm were very professional and helpful. I would rate my experience with this firm as an A+.
