Kate was highly recommended to me by a friend. She came into my life when I was as low as an ant's little belly. She became my backbone and kept me upright during the darkest days of my life. She gave me the strength and courage to make it to the other side of divorce after 37 years of marriage. Our meetings were only as long as they needed to be. Kate was fair but firm and worked and fought on my behalf to ensure for me the brightest and easiest of futures. My unfaithful, errant x-husband was shocked that I had actually found the best lawyer of all. I highly recommend Kate Vetrano - her future clients will be blessed to have her in their corner.

My divorce was complex and painful, requiring competence, sound judgment and a learned pragmatism on the part of my attorney. After interviewing over ten attorneys, the decision to engage with Kate Vetrano was the wisest choice I could have made. Kate kept me grounded and focused on the end game. She also had a view towards settling things amicably and she had the skill and savvy to navigate a complicated set of circumstances.She also advocated for my children and helped me to make sure that their interests were served fully as well as mine. I would refer any one I know to seek
out Kate's counsel. I couldn't be more pleased with the relationship of trust and respect that we built together. I am very grateful to Kate Vetrano and I will never forget how she helped me to get through what has to be one of the most difficult experiences of my life with feeling like I had a top rate advocate who provided extremely valuable counsel.

She is a no nonsense, experienced divorce lawyer I appreciated and would highly recommend.
After years of unsuccessfully trying to resolve marital differences on our own, I selected Kate Vetrano to help me initiate and navigate thru an 'Amicable Divorce' involving several million dollars in assets, so my ex and I could better enjoy my few remaining years.
She did exactly that. I received to-the-point pre-declaration advice, detailed post declaration 'to do's' and 'don't do's'. We/she negotiated a settlement that my now ex and I are both as comfortable with as can be. My 'ex' and I are still friends.
Kate certainly helped me start a new chapter in my life, and all was accomplished within 6 months.
Again, I appreciated her no nonsense, to-the-point approach, her belief in amicable divorces, and her ability to deliver.

I reached out to Mr. Merwin for some legal advice regarding family planning. It was very easy to discuss my plans with him. He showed that he was attentive and caring during all of our conversations. He did a great job in reviewing the information, and conveying information to me.
Through this process, Mr. Merwin was professional, knowledgeable and detail oriented.
I will look to him for future legal consultations and services.

Mr. Merwin was wonderful to work with and got business taken care of. He took over a case that a previous attorney never finished and he got the job done as if it was a case that he was involved with from the start. He managed to get things settled out of court. Communication was always done in a timely manner and he was transparent throughout the whole process.

Johnathan Johnson stepped in to represent me in an auto accident case nearing the statute of limitations when my options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed improbable. He went straight to work during our first and only in-person meeting and employed a strategy to expedite the insurer’s response and encourage a reasonable settlement, avoiding drawn out litigation. With Mr. Johnson’s knowledge, skilful negotiations and excellent, concise communication the case was settled satisfactorily in less than seven weeks. He kept me informed of developments throughout and was responsive to my questions. I am so grateful to Mr. Johnson and would recommend him without hesitation.

Compared to a previous experience with a different firm, Jonathan was excellent at communicating every step of the way. I was not left in the dark as to the status of my case, and he reviewed each communication with me prior to submitting to the opposing party to verify accuracy and obtain my consent. Based on his previous experience with case law, he pursued an alternate angle in an attempt to obtain the best result. I knew I had a favorable advocate who was doing his best, even with a relatively small case. He was also very conscientious to not over-promise and under-deliver.

Donna DeJesu-Maio is a brilliant and compassionate attorney. She handled my very time-consuming and acrimonious divorce with a level of professionalism that I didn't even think was possible. She is a straight shooter, which was appreciated, and often took the role of therapist, which was also appreciated. I cannot say enough about her ability and patience as an attorney. She is the best of the best!

I was living a nightmare for almost four years. I sold my home and the buyers' attorney fell for a scam e-mail, wiring my mortgage payoff to a fraudulent account at my servicing bank. All of the funds were completely withdrawn from the fraudulent account in a few days. I had no idea that any of this happened until the bank deducted a mortgage payment from my account weeks later. After my real estate attorney discovered what happened, the bank was notified of the fraud and told me not to worry, and that they would freeze the account until the situation was rectified. The buyers' attorney refused to take any responsibility, claimed to be a victim, and never notified the buyers that their home was subject to a lien from an unsettled mortgage. The local police and the FBI were notified and investigated and found that the scammers succeeded in getting the funds overseas. Everyone involved in the transaction denied responsibility and then the bank denied saying that they would freeze the account and referred me to collections, destroying my credit and putting my security clearance and livelihood at risk. I hired Tim and PLG to represent me in this matter, and when the bank refused to even discuss what had happed, he filed a civil suit on my behalf. Tim and PLG were relentless in fighting for me and helping me navigate through dealing with my employer as my clearance was in jeopardy. Were it not for Tim, I would have lost my clearance and my job. Unfortunately, there is little recourse for victims of this type of fraud and it is impossible to fight major banks, insurance companies, and attorneys without having the best on your side. I was lucky to have Tim and PLG on my side and I received a favorable outcome. Tim is passionate about what he does, seeking justice for his clients, fighting for "the little guy"! I hope no one ever has to go through what I did, but if you do, you need Parlatore Law Group in your corner!

Jenny did an amazing job for us. We had the worst possible situation in our eyes and she eased our minds and took care of everything for us. She was so helpful, quick & kind. We had to battle a false DSS report and couldn’t have done it without her. Her experience and expertise was unmatched in this area. She is who we would call if a situation like this were to arise again and we’d recommend her to anyone going through a similar situation. We are so thankful to have met Jenny and worked with her. She was very professional and supportive in every way.

Renee handled a long standing issue I had with the Town of North Hempstead. What took me almost a year to complete, took her just a few court visits. She was extremely knowledgeable, professional, patient and most importantly for me, effective. Renee kept me informed throughout the process and saw it all the way through to the end. I was extremely happy with my outcome, as well as her service and her ownership of my issue. My business is in a much better place and I couldn't have done it without her assistance.

Yianna has been my attorney for several years. Throughout those years, she has had my best interest in mind and kept me grounded with what will truly unfold in court. She hears me when I voice what I want and how I feel. She communicates promptly and effectively, which is very important to me with an attorney. I also feel she does not take advantage of billing like other attorneys have in the past. When I used a different attorney before Yianna, he billed me for 7 hours in court for TWO attorneys and when I double checked my documents, court was cancelled that day and we weren’t even there! Yianna knows the burdens and stress that court has on people and does know capitalize on that with her clients. I am grateful to have met Yianna and hired her to help me!

Yianna, was my divorce attorney. I can say she is the most honest, humble attorney I have ever met or hired. She did a great job on my divorce and gave me words of encouragement at the trial that I desperately needed! I would recommend her to anyone getting a divorce. It’s a horrible position to be in so make sure you hire her to make it easier for you and more importantly honest with you, as she is that attorney and more importantly a good person.

For me, she has been exceptional navigating a hard time (divorce). Because she has been exceptional, I have referred her to others and would recommend her to anyone needing these services.

As someone who found themselves entangled in legal proceedings, I had the fortune of being represented by Attorney Sean Simpson. From the moment I enlisted his services, Mr. Simpson demonstrated unparalleled professionalism and a commitment to excellence that exceeded my expectations.
Punctuality is a virtue often overlooked in the legal realm, yet Mr. Simpson embodied it effortlessly. He meticulously adhered to deadlines and ensured that every aspect of my case progressed seamlessly. His proactive approach to pushing along dates and expediting motions showcased his dedication to securing the best possible outcome for his clients.
What truly set Attorney Simpson apart was his tireless advocacy on my behalf. Utilizing his vast legal expertise, he leveraged every available resource to bolster my defense. From tapping into his network of esteemed colleagues to liaising with probation officials, he left no stone unturned in his pursuit of justice. His strategic maneuvering and tenacity in utilizing all available legal assets undoubtedly contributed to the favorable resolution of my case.
Communication is the cornerstone of any successful attorney-client relationship, and Mr. Simpson excelled in this regard. Throughout the entirety of my legal journey, he kept me informed and involved every step of the way. From promptly scheduling appointments to promptly addressing any concerns or queries, his unwavering commitment to keeping me informed instilled confidence and reassurance during a challenging time.
Thanks to Attorney Sean Simpson’s exceptional legal acumen and unwavering dedication, my case was ultimately dismissed and thrown out, alleviating any lingering worries and allowing me to move forward with peace of mind. I wholeheartedly recommend Attorney Simpson to anyone in need of top-tier legal representation. With him by your side, you can rest assured that your legal matters are in the most capable hands.

Never sign without a second opinion. When my freedom was on the line, I knew I needed more than just a court-appointed lawyer. Sean Simpson became my advocate, ensuring I wasn't just another case, but a person with responsibilities and loved ones. His consistent presence at every court date, coupled with unwavering confidence, made me feel supported throughout. Instead of facing a year behind bars, Sean secured just two months of jail time, a significant reduction from the two years of probation I was initially offered. His flexible payment plan made the legal process less burdensome. Thank you, Sean R. Simpson, for your dedication and compassion.

I cannot say enough good things about Clepper Harrison & Duffy PLLC. From start to finish, I experienced the upmost professionalism and compassion. I ended every interaction with confidence and certainty. At the end of every call, Chanda and I both had clear expectations on what to do next--I had my tasks, she had hers, and every time we followed up, we were on the same page. She and her team are highly prepared, proficient, prompt, and consistent. I appreciated that the billing information was explained so well that I never felt like I had to wonder how much things were going to cost. I was billed on the 1st and the 15th of every month, and I personally loved that consistency. Although I have never worked with attorneys before, my personal opinion was that their fees were extremely fair and honest. Each bill had a running record of every item they completed, with times, dates, and explanations. I loved their practicality of providing phone calls and zoom calls, rather than meeting in person. My whole divorce was handled over phone calls/zooms and I never had to step foot into a court room. Although everyone's experience is different, I was able to complete an amicable, uncontested divorce that was finalized in just over 60 days. Without the help of Chanda and her team, there is no way I would have been able to do this on my own. I was very pleased with my outcome, which is astounding that I am even writing this sentence, because I am a person who never thought divorce was an option. If you're reading this and feel as though you have gotten to the point where divorce is now your only option, know that you will be fully taken care of by Clepper Harrison & Duffy PLLC.

Great experience with a true professional. Isabel provided several of our family members with great legal advice recently and they highly recommend her to us.
She was able to consul my mother and provide her much needed peace of mind regarding her will and legal forms.
I would highly recommend Isabel as a compassionate and knowledgeable attorney to anyone that needed a trustworthy legal advocate.
A huge advantage in our case was that she was fluent in both English and Spanish, therefore we were able to fully understand all of the forms and implications involved. We will certainly reach out to her and her staff for any future legal advice.

After one year of working with another divorce attorney I felt it was in my best interest to hire someone new. A friend recommended Tracey and I could not be happier with the results. Tracey was one of the bright spots during my contentious divorce. She guided me through the entire process from filing paperwork, to pretrials to finalizing my settlement. She was by my side every step of the way. She explained things to me with patience and detail and not once made me feel helpless. She gave me the confidence I needed to move forward. Tracey has a strong eye for detail and didn’t miss a beat. Her calmness, caring and understanding was exactly what I needed to deal with my ex and his attorneys antics and demanding demeanor. She is thorough and tough but truly cares about her client and their children. I would probably still be in a situation that was not good had it not been for her. The outcome was excellent and exactly what I hoped for. I am so relieved I hired her. You will want Tracey by your side!

After choosing the wrong attorney at first that dragged out my divorce case for over a year and not getting anywhere at all, I realized I had to make a change.

There is not enough review space available for me to praise Mary Louise. She is an amazing person and incredible attorney. The fate of our family was in her hands and ultimately, we could not be happier with the outcome. She immediately immersed herself into our narrative. She was highly attentive and detail-oriented. It is worth mentioning separately that Mary Louise is very, very sharp-witted. This is not something one learns but it is innate. She is intuitive when it comes to reading others and their intentions. She was thoughtful in every decision and methodical in her approach. She worked tirelessly to address all downstream possibilities in a preemptive fashion. She was exceedingly responsive and efficient with time. She kept me updated on all movements of the case the moment shifts would occur. She is genuine and has a heart for those involved. She listens late at night. Most importantly, Mary Louise has the highest moral/ethical standards. I never had to wonder if our path was in the right. She handled our case with class, professionalism, energy, empathy and commitment. Mary Louise is the representation you want navigating through the most difficult of times. One would be remiss to look any further. She is the very best.

Mary Louise is a fantastic divorce attorney that guided me from start to finish through the most difficult experience of my life. From the moment I met her at the initial consultation, I felt her compassion and professionalism. She guided me efficiently and confidently to an amazing outcome for my entire family. The process was highly collaborative, leveraging her deep legal expertise and my insight to formulate an effective approach. I was amazed by her attention to detail, preparation and execution during the deposition and mediation. Mary Louise was able to quickly recall the detailed background I initially provided to effectively navigate issues and reach closure. She efficiently processed new information throughout the entire divorce process and offered insightful recommendations to the decisions I faced. I always felt safe and powerful in her company during the times when there was conflict.
Having someone like Mary Louise by your side through a divorce process is priceless. She is a unique lawyer - someone with deep legal acumen and an understanding of relationships and family dynamics. I admire her spirit, ethics and professionalism to reach an outcome that was in the best interests of my children and me. The best in the business - highly recommended!

Mary Louise Phelps surpassed any expectations I had for my divorce attorney. Going through the proceedings was a very scary ordeal for me being that it involved money, businesses, and most importantly my two children. I was very nervous about being in the wrong hands. She by far did not disappoint though! I knew after my first meeting with her that it was going to be the right fit. She was there for me any time of the day, and truly had mine and my kids best interest at heart. Mary Louise is an incredibly organized person which was crucial for such a complex divorce such as mine. She was ALWAYS prepared for court, was two steps ahead on everything, and was ready for the unexpected at any time. She is very knowledgeable on the law and helped walk me through each step of the proceedings. From mediation to court, she always came overly prepared. She has a heart of gold but also the bravado in court that demands respect. Her ethics & morals are top notch which was something I highly desired from my legal counsel. My divorce was now final over a year ago - and she still keeps in frequent contact with us. She checks in on us and is always rooting for me and my life. I would highly recommend Mary Louise Phelps to anyone who is looking for an attorney that will take your case seriously and will fight for what is right!

Mr. Piereck became my attorney rather last minute to a very complicated case. The states attorneys office at the last minute decided to dismiss it, but Mr. Pierick was extremely helpful and informed on all of my options moving forward and as to why the states attorney’s office canceled.
If I ever had another case, I would highly consider even with a long distance between us in counties,I would call him again.

I highly recommend the legal services of Steve Plaisted. He is highly knowledgeable about Maryland estate planning law. I used his services to write a trust, wills and POAs in order to get things in order for my husband and me as we rapidly approach our senior years. I have also had the opportunity to know him over many years (as my neighbor) and can say he is truly a person of strong moral character. He is sincere and easy to work with. Steve operates with integrity, dedication and is very thorough. I felt we were in very good hands under his legal guidance,

Before finding an attorney, I spent a good deal of time researching my options. Steve exceeded my expectations. To be clear, Steve has a Christian focus but I went with Steve because of his absolute command of the law and the process. He is remarkably good at what he does and I would trust Steve with any dispute I am confronting. Steve is also very practical and will listen to your concerns and develop a plan that takes your concerns into consideration. Steve is absolutely fantastic.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Brooks at a charitable function that he was hosting and he made a terrific impression. We traded war stories and the amount of experience and expertise he has was very apparent. I would confidently recommend him based on that alone, but have also heard of his stellar reputation elsewhere making this recommendation even easier.

This Lawyer helped out with my Bankruptcy case which was a total mess because even after the bankruptcy was filed, my court opponents still wouldn’t let up. This lawyer went above and beyond to help me through that situation. As a result, my side got exactly what we wanted. Great price and 10/10 would highly recommend taking this lawyer if you are in a position of needing to file bankruptcy.

Consulted and hired Errol for some construction issues that came out in a project. It did not come to a court proceeding but Errol provided the legal advice that helped us move to the right decisions. He explained from the beginning that he is not a construction lawyer and we understood so while some angles on the issue could have been explored differently, the assessment of the situation and his good reading of people's personalities mattered significantly. He is the lawyer that you can trust to be on your side. Great communicator and reviews documents thoroughly. He uses interesting stories you can understand and which shows his depth of experience.
