  We value our clients. Here is what some of our clients have said about our firm:

  Thanks Gerry!
  “I had a great experience working with Gerry Maggio. He handled my divorce this year and was always very responsive to my emails and the million questions that I had throughout this process. Gerry was very professional and efficient at what he does. I am so grateful to Gerry for everything he did and would highly recommend him to all my friends.” ~Cecilia M. (2015)
  
  Not all Superheroes wear capes! Mine works in an office!
  “I could sit here all day and brag about my experience with Gerry. He was wonderful from beginning to end. He took the time to explain details to me along the way that I didn’t understand as this was my first time getting a divorce and dealing with Child Custody. He was patient, kind, and honest with me the entire time. From the first time I sat down in our consultation I knew that this was the Attorney for me. He is an expert in his profession and had a response for every question I asked, even if I thought my question didn’t make sense. He made me feel comfortable; less stressed, and gave me the constant feeling that I would make it through this time in my life and be able to breathe again. I plan on calling upon him again should I need assistance in the future. I highly recommend Gerry to anyone who is in need of a Divorce attorney. I hope you are as pleased as I have been.” ~Adrien (2015)
  
  “Mr. Maggio is my Legal Superhero. I am very happy with the outcome of my case and it would not have been possible without Mr. Maggio and his team, including Carol Sullivan, who were so wonderful to work with! I am thankful for all of the hard work and effort that they put into my case. I come to the end of my professional relationship with his firm with mixed feelings. Delighted on one hand that we achieved the goal and outcome I was seeking, but sad too, as I feel like I am parting from trusted friends I have gained on this journey. While I hope that I do not need Mr. Maggio’s services ever again for a divorce case, I know that I have a trusted legal team to go to for any of the other services he provides. He has my wholehearted and highest recommendation for anyone needing a divorce and/or family law firm.” ~Andrea (2015)
