My divorce case was quite complex and had not moved forward for well over a year when I decided a change was needed and asked Gerry to take the reins. Gerry was personable, knowledgeable and professional at all times. Rather than forcing his opinion he would provide several options with positives and negatives. Most attorneys I interviewed prior to hiring Gerry tended to take an unrealistically positive view of things that would have only lead to disappointment. I felt Gerry was always honest and straightforward with me, presenting both best and worst case scenarios so I felt well informed and empowered to make the right decisions and consequently we were able to settle the case as quickly as possible.

“I retained Gerald Maggio and his firm, The Maggio Law Firm, in 2011 to deal with a Department of Child Support Services case that resulted in an unfair court order to me, as well as to try to resolve the issues of my divorce case which had not been finalized since it started back in 2004. Mr. Maggio is the fourth attorney that I have had on my case. I have found Mr. Maggio to be the most effective attorney and not only that, but I think he has been the most compassionate and caring. He was recently able to lower my child support to a more fair amount, handled a child support contempt matter favorably, and it appears that Gerry is on track to finally resolve my divorce case after 8 years. Gerry has been very reasonable in his legal fees. I consider him one of the ‘good guys’ and I appreciate all that he has done for me. I highly recommend him.” Gary Schmidt

“I run my own business and I normally do not care to have to deal with attorneys. However, Gerald Maggio handled my divorce case and he helped me get my case resolved without a lot of headache and heartbreak. He answered questions whenever I asked, advised me of my rights, gave me solid advice, and navigated my case to a good resolution. I hope that I never have to go through another divorce in the future, but I know who to call if I ever do. Thanks for everything!”

“Gerald A. Maggio has represented me in an ugly, complicated divorce case for the past year, and my case is one with unusual circumstances that have convoluted many of the issues in the case. Moreover, although I know that many other divorcing persons feel the same way, my spouse in particular has been nothing but vindictive and vitriolic towards me on all issues in this case. I have had to deal with a business valuation, cash flow analysis, child custody evaluation, outrageous claims by my wife, a meritless restraining order, and a criminal case, among other issues, all instigated by my spouse with the intent to keep our children away from me and to take every last dime. I thank Mr. Maggio very much for helping me resolve these issues as favorable to me as I think was possible under the difficult circumstances of my case. I found Gerry to be easy to work with, knowledgeable, practical, and able to navigate me and my case through the most difficult time of my life with skill, caring, and compassion. Divorce is often expensive, and my case was one example of that, but I also feel it important to note that my wife’s legal fees were more than double what Mr. Maggio’s legal fees were, for essentially the same amount of work.”

In addition to being an exceptional family law attorney, Gerry is a fantastic mediator. He has the ability to bring parties together to discovery and craft collaborative solutions to very difficult and emotional problems. While Gerry is a strong, knowledgeable advocate when needed, he had the unique ability to infuse emotional issues with a sense of calm that keeps the parties focused on amicable, prudent resolutions. As a husband and a father, you can tell that Gerry truly understands what is truly at stake in a family law case and takes every opportunity to do what is in the long term best interests of not only the parties but the families that will be forever impacted by the outcome. Gerry has my highest recommendation and I will be forever blessed for having had his assistance.

Gerry Maggio is a true professional with a range of expertise to navigate complicated matters. When I engaged Gerry, he thoughtfully guided me through my new and confusing legal journey and brought clarity and answers which he then delivered on. Gerry cares about his clients. He leads with kindness but will be tough where needed and above all, always knows what is appropriate to get your agenda through. He is responsive, watchful of finances, and puts you at ease with his ability to stay focused on what is important to you. I give Gerry Maggio my highest recommendation as a legal representative who will understand and care about your intention, and get you the results you are looking for.

After having one attorney not really do much and just show up for my case, and basically not fight for me. it was refreshing to have someone like Gerry to fight in my corner. He explained everything and sought out the best options. He fought for me, and was even sympathetic to my situation. Even after the case was settled, I can still call on him with questions, support, and help. I not only respect him, I recommend him to everyone I know
