I showed up to Ms. Nunnery's office without an appointment looking for somone to help me with a Worker's Compensation case. She informed me up front that she did not take Worker's Comp cases but she had me sit down and she reviewed all of my paperwork and explained to me what the terms meant, what I needed to do, and answered my questions. She was honest with what she didn't know and said she would look into a few things for me. A week later Ms. Nunnery did call me back with answers for the questions I had asked as well as recommendations for two attorneys that she had spoken with to make sure they could take my case and had experience in my particular injury. This was all part of her free consultation with me. If I ever need legal services in the areas she does practice I will definitely be giving her a call!

About a year ago me and my wife hired Jennifer to represent us in a family court matter. During one of our first phone calls while going over a lot of the information for our first court date Jen was very knowledgeable about the outcomes of the case. She warned us ahead of time what the possible outcomes could be, the best options to take, and things we should do to make our case go as smoothly as possible. She had a very proffesional attitude going into the court. She met us there, went over our reports, discussed with us and made sure everything was correct. Made sure any discrepancies were brought to the courts attention and had them fixed. There was many times my wife and I were not so happy with the courts opinions and actions, but she reassured us that if we were to do everything the court was asking of us, things would turn around. And they certainly have in our case. We as parents are not always perfect, we went through hard times, and a made a few mistakes on the way. But when it seemed like we were going to loose our family and everything was falling apart Jen was there to help make sure that didn't happen. Not to mention that her relationship with the local attorneys and the district attorneys made the line of open communication very helpful. She was able to work out a plea deal with them for us so we kept our family together and were able to prove to the courts that we loved our kids more then anything in the world and would do anything to prove it. A year later, everything is being wrapped up, and we are still a family and still able to kiss our children good night, every night. Jennifer's dedication to my family will always be remembered, and we will always be grateful for what she did for us. She was very affordable and was straight forward with her pricing and there was no hidden charges. She did everything she promised she would, and a lot more. I highly reccomend her to anyone who is in need of a hard working and knowledgeable lawyer. Thank you Jennifer, from the Warner Family.

Gerald handled my mother's will in 85 when she died. It was a simple will but took over 7 years to finalize it. Also many things in her safe deposit box came up missing. I was there when he opened it and saw the different things in there among a large amount of silver coins. All now unaccounted for. When he did finally finalize the will, he told me he needed more money than what he was bound to and for me to sign the approval for it or I would not get any amount from the sale of the property. To put it simply, he ROBBED my mother's estate.

Very slow paced and one attorney in particular is very disorganized. Had all of his clients' paperwork scattered all over on his desk. Everytime I called, I had to remind him what I was calling about.

I was assigned Brian for an attorney for my current Custody/visitation case which is unfortunately a very complex case. I spoke with Brian twice during a two month time frame. I called repeatedly, left countless text messages with NO response! I had a particular situation arise where I needed legal advice in a timely fashion and once again left a voicemail message and text message in reference to the deliema with once again no contact. Communication and professionalism is imperative for an attorney however, This is just not the case here. Very disappointed overall and would not recommend legal representation by this attorney period!

We r currently in a custody battle and he is the respondents attorney and is encouraging his client to not follow the court order. On top of that he is disrespectful to women who he is not representing. And will lie straight to a judge.

He seemed very knowledgeable after the first consult... After that, he was extremely hard to get a hold of. Did not return my phone calls. I had to make an appointment to get him to call me, then he was a half hour late with the call.

Ms. Grasso has always responded to our requests in a timely, accurate and supportive manner. When we approached her with an issue not in her wheel house she referred us to another lawyer that was also responsive and dependable. I appreciate her directness and comfortable demeanor. We highly recommend her for family law issues.

We consulted with Christie De Freze concerning a property damage case. She wouldn't help with the criminal part but would help with the civil part and gave us some things to do preliminarily for case. When we did these things and called her back THREE TIMES she never bothered getting back to us. Got our hopes up and dropped us like a bag of dirt. FIND SOMEONE ELSE that is able to return a phone call !!!!!!!!!

Kristie represented me in a custody and family offense petition. She’s is very professional and honest. She does not over promise or try to just take your money without any potential for winning a case. During our consultation she gave very accurate advice prior to being hired. I will consult her in the future if I ever need another lawyer. She was very responsive to my questions and typically answered them right away.

Mr Zonitch handled my divorace 5 years ago. I have repeatably tried to get him to separate my ex husbands 401 K. My ex can not touch or add to his until it is done. Mr Zonitch never returns my calls and ignores my request. It has been 5 years and I have been more than patient. He was paid to do the job and will not finish it. I do not recommend him to anyone.
