I am so thankful I found David Corretore and this law firm. I have never met a more organized person than David. He constantly kept me up to date on what was happening and my stress levels went significantly down after hiring him. Up to that point, sleeping was tough as I had an endless checklist in my head of what paperwork needed to get done. David took that off my shoulders. I would definitely recommend David Corretore and this law firm to anyone. Thank you David.

First of all I want to say that I don't even pay John, he was provided to me by the state for a family court/domestic violence case. I couldn't have asked for a better advocate for my kids and I. He is always there, always checking in and advocating for us, and always awesome. I consider him a friend and am so lucky and grateful he is my lawyer!!!! I wish there was 10000000 star option because that's what he deserves, 5 is not enough. Thanks John!!

I have a testimony for all fathers that are prevalent in their children’s lives. My wife and I decided separation/divorce was our best course of action. While doing so, I also felt as though 50/50 custody was a requirement. After being separated for over two years, I relocated to another state with the idea that this would provide my children with greater opportunities.
My wife and I had been working on a mediation agreement that she avoided signing…..once I moved out of state she attempted to take full custody of my minor children who were planning on splitting their time with both parents, according to the mediation paperwork. At this point, I contacted Michelle to represent me in this custody/separation/divorce settlement that I realized wasn’t going to be civil.
The mediation paperwork also included our middle son attending school in the state that his Dad is residing while our youngest son decided split the school year, between both residences based on climate.
Although the mediation agreement was not signed, my 15yr old son decided to relocate with me against his mother’s wishes, which prompted her to call an Amber Alert which further prompted our need to retain legal services.
Several days later, we were served and summoned to return him in which he did not want to return until the time that had been agreed upon in the mediation paperwork.
The Judge set a court date for 9/19 in which my son did not attend, he remained at my residence and continued going to school.
The Judge did not force him to return at that time as to not wanting to disrupt his education. We were well into the beginning of the school year…..so he set a later court date which included services for both minor children, who were represented by social workers and their own lawyers.
From the very first day that I explained our situation, Michelle asked if the other parent was the type that would be able to come to an agreement, or the type that would fight to the end …..and
I felt it’d be the latter. At this point, Michelle told me how far it could go and how to best go about providing a voice for the children.
I’m not sure how long this process has taken, I believe we started somewhere around August 4, 2022…..after a long drawn out fight, I believe we finalized the divorce on September 7, 2024. Custody was finalized on Decemeber 1, 2022. The judge granted the children the option of splitting the custody between their parents how they chose …..whatever works best for them…..denying either parent the ability to dictate to the children in regards to residence.
No child support to either parent, equal custody…..and this is how it should be for more fathers like myself.
Michelle did a great job of navigating through this process in a way that let the courts know that we were serious about the role that a father plays in the lives of his children. I think this case is something that a lot of fathers could gain confidence in knowing the court system is not always against you when it comes to custody of your children.

I lost everything & had an unfair trial.
This “lawyer” should disbarred. Tampered with evidence & sided with opposing counsel. She will promise you the world but deliver nothing in return. RUN!!

We have closed two home sales with Patrick and have recently contacted him to assist with our Estate Planning and Wills. Patrick is responsive and provides timely and accurate legal consul for all our legal needs. He listens and provides guidance that other attorneys have charged for in our past. We appreciate his quick response to our questions and his clear and helpful guidance in planning for our estate.
We highly recommend Patrick for any legal needs and will continue to refer friends and family to Arena Law for future legal dealings.

My wife and I have used Patrick twice, previously to purchase our first home and then again to sell that property and purchase another. We would never hesitate to use Patrick again for any real estate transaction, he is fantastic and we were lucky to be referred to him by our first purchase agent.
Patrick coordinated everything between the buyer and sellers attorneys, and kept on top of our less-than-stellar mortgage broker to make sure we had what we needed to close on time. He was always available by call or text even when he was out of office.
At closing, Patrick reviewed and made sure we understand everything we signed. Each document was handled separately and explained before we signed off, so we left feeling confident things were in order.
Patrick's fixed fee structure is very reasonable, especially for the amount of communication and preparation he put in. We have recommended him to several friends and will continue to do so.

Peter has been great through the process of purchasing my first home! He always tells me when we are moving onto the next step, and on our very first call, he gave me a timeline of what to expect! Super friendly guy. He does not waste your time on the phone. If he has something to say, he will say it and move on because he knows that both his time and your time are valuable. 10/10 would recommend Peter to anyone purchasing a home!!

Communication was horrible!!! Do not let this person represent you. I only went with him because he was handed to me by my real estate agent. Should have done my research. His secretary, Ronda, is just as bad. Please, don't go with him!!!

I have known Mr. DiSalvo for many years. He has represented my family and friends through many real life situations when a fine legal mind is necessary. He fits the bill very well and his hourly rate is well below the fees of the BIG OVERHEAD firms and the ones who spend tens of thousands of dollars on TV ads. The only way you can make a sound legal decision is meet with him, talk and go with your gut. I would like to point out, the explanation and exercise of the law, as well as a person's (usually a judge's) interpretation of the facts is NEVER A SLAM DUNK. Manipulating the law is not a science, it is an art. Each experience clients have had with Mr. DiSalvo, which I know of, he has worked very hard to see the case through to an end where the law will favor a positive outcome for his client. Thank you

No communication and then when you get a response it’s not accurate. Took two years to settle an estate that could have been done in one year.
