I fired my high end /hotshot NYC attorneys and hired Martin Rosen 18 months into my divorce negotiations — and it was the best decision I ever made! I had been through the wringer - feeling like I wasn’t being heard by my legal team and with a nagging feeling of “This just can’t be right”. From our first meeting, Martin showed compassion and vowed to fight on my behalf and get me what was legally and morally right after a 16+ year marriage. He is a highly respected Westchester lawyer and this was obvious from the minute we stepped into the courthouse together. He knows the law inside and out, and his courtroom etiquette is superb. The settlement I got was far above and beyond what my original attorneys urged me to agree to — and if that wasn’t pleasing enough, I have also made a friend for life. Martin will have your back, he will treat you with kindness and respect, and he will fight for you both inside and outside the courtroom. He is a diamond in the rough.

Martin Rosen is an excellent attorney, one whom has been there for me throughout not only the worst times in my life, but for the times after. He is attentive, knowledgable, and usage of his services purveys one with a peace of mind that is not readily attainable with less qualified lawyers. He is direct and honest, but compassionate. If you tell Mr. Rosen the actual scenario, he will obtain the best result possible; if you are in a bad place, he will put you in a better one. He is not intimidated by snark nor malice. I have used his services for my own custody issues on multiple occasions and will continue to do so as long as his name rests over his awning.
I have severe concerns regarding the recent one star review (Chris, 2024) and strongly take issue with his brazen mischaracterization of an individual whom has been there for me at my lowest as much as any professional could be asked to. I hope he gets the help he needs, but his review reads as untrue and glib. Though his flat attempts at slander, one can see a truly gauche (nay, entitled?) interior, and I simply cannot understand why someone who clearly never even used Mr. Rosen's services feels entitled to mischaracterize one's business (and thus livlihood) as they did in such a shameful and public manner. I would strongly urge any potential clients to ignore this individual's sentiments entirely.

I want to thank you for helping me with my child support issue. I didn’t know what to do. My mind was going a mile a minute. Marty, your tone of voice was calming, you were so patient and knowledgeable! I can’t thank you enough for all your help!

Attorney Steven Campanaro handled a a very complex legal dispute between me and my former business partner. He made himself easily available to answer all my questions and he addressed and explained to me thoroughly all my legal concerns. He put me at ease throughout my whole lengthy legal ordeal, he walked side by side with me every step of the way and I always felt his strong support. He was always transparent In the possible outcomes of the decisions he was helping me make.
In addition Mr. Campanaro showed a deep understanding of my personal situation and demonstrated empathy throughout my case and this helped me a great deal to get through this most difficult legal situation in my life.
Steven thoroughly reviewed all the evidence in my case from both sides and prepared an exceptional strategy that ultimately led to my victory in a satisfactorily out-of-court settlement which helped me to avoid costly potential court fees. His preparation was remarkable and his candor was well received by me. I highly recommend him for any of your legal needs or concerns.

An Estate trust can be very overwhelming for an individual. Thank you Patricia for giving me the comfort I need to make sure my family is cared for in the event of my demise. You made the process simple for me to understand which I feel is the most important part of Estate Planning. I recommend you highly for anyone who is interested in the process of estate planning. Your assistant Andrea Barresi was also a comfort. Your care and compassion was much appreciated.
I thank you for everything.

Natasha Meruelo and her staff handled our case flawlessly. We found Natasha to be highly knowledgeable, efficient, dependable and excellent in regards to communication and speed of response to inquiries. Additionally, we found her to be genuinely kind and caring while helping us through a challenging and difficult time in our lives. I would recommend Natasha to anyone facing bankruptcy; you will not find a more professional attorney with kindness to boot.

You never think one day you’ll need to go through the process of fighting for custody of your children. Unfortunately that day came me. I found myself in a love-less relationship with an unfaithful partner who I shared 2 beautiful children with. I felt helpless because you always think the law favors the mother in most cases. Being an extremely involved father who coached and was very active in my children’s life, I knew I didn’t want to be the typical every-other-weekend warrior father, I had to fight for my children. I was referred to The Pappalardo Law group from a friend of a friend who was also an attorney in Connecticut. She was very confident that this was the best Law Firm for my situation. I reluctantly made the call and set up the appointment. Turned out to be one of the best most important decisions I’ve ever made. John Pappalardo assigned his associate Sam to my my case and from day one they both worked tirelessly to understand our circumstances and put together an amazing case to present to the court. It was a long stressful road but being able to be in my children’s life on a day to day basis made the tough journey worth it. Sam was an amazing partner through all of this even going on maternity leave, having a baby and still returning to my case to close it out. She was extremely attentive and the communication always made me feel like I was a priority. Nobody ever wants to go through this process in life but if you find yourself in a situation where you’re fighting to keep your children in your life, I would Highly recommend reaching out and putting your trust in The Poppalardo Law Group.

Mr. Delaney recently represented my son in a complex matter. Given a set of very bad circumstances, Mr. Delaney was able to achieve a very good outcome for my son and my family because of his reputation, his intelligence, his personal approach and the fact that he communicates kindly and cordially to everyone he deals with.

Being an extremely involved father who coached and was very active in my children’s life, I knew I didn’t want to be the typical every-other-weekend warrior father, I had to fight for my children. I was referred to The Pappalardo Law group from a friend of a friend who was also an attorney in Connecticut. She was very confident that this was the best Law Firm for my situation. I reluctantly made the call and set up the appointment. Turned out to be one of the best most important decisions I’ve ever made. John Pappalardo assigned his associate Sam to my my case and from day one they both worked tirelessly to understand our circumstances and put together an amazing case to present to the court. It was a long stressful road but being able to be in my children’s life on a day to day basis made the tough journey worth it. Sam was an amazing partner through all of this even going on maternity leave, having a baby and still returning to my case to close it out. She was extremely attentive and the communication always made me feel like I was a priority. Nobody ever wants to go through this process in life but if you find yourself in a situation where you’re fighting to keep your children in your life, I would Highly recommend reaching out and putting your trust in The Poppalardo Law Group.
