I want to give Anthony Lopresti a 5 star recommendation for helping me get out of never ending litigation. He was always professional and never greedy! He would take my calls and return them promptly. If your going through a brutal divorce and you have a Gold-digger and a Karen to deal with, retain AJ Lopresti. He will get you out of the mess.

After having a lawyer that i felt didn't adequately represent me and had put me in a tough situation. Robert had taken on the case in my opinion on the losing team and was able to represent me and my daughter with our needs as top priority. Also having the case concluded after trial he had throughly reviewed the results and found an error. Then reached out to proceed with correcting the courts error. I couldn’t be happier with the practice and all staff!

STOP! Do Not Look Any Further! Robert is your man!
I have been dealing with my ex and her family literally since my son was born in 2011 and them trying relentlessly to get full custody of him. After the first three court fights with a different attorney and trying to appease demands and doing what was best for my son, that still was not good enough.
During my 3rd court fight in 2018, I reached out to Robert because I realized this was not going to stop. Even though I had another attorney at the time, I placed a retainer with Robert as well. I knew I would need someone more aggressive for a bigger fight that would come in the future. I wanted Robert to be familiar with my case and to plan for it. Well, that 4th fight came this year (2023-2024), and HE DID NOT DISAPPOINT!
Robert has the right balance of aggressiveness, exceptional knowledge, firmness, and negotiating skills. But if push comes to shove, just put your feet up, sit back, and watch! He will NEVER let you be bullied or give an inch on what you legally deserve. So much so, during this 4th court fight, Robert was able to modify my previous court orders (in favor of me), while the opposition filed custody petitions, enforcement petitions, and modification petitions. All of which failed!
Robert is still on retainer! Because as of today, the next time/the LAST TIME/the most important time...will be on our terms! Already preparing.
DO NOT LOOK ANY FURTHER!!!!
Thank you, Mr. Montefusco and Maureen! You truly are who you say you are!
Sincerely, Mr. Hampton

Mr. Virdone was caring and honest in regards to the best way to proceed even though it wasn't beneficial to him. My only issue was that there was no AC in the waiting room.

I cannot thank John Virdone and his team enough for their exceptional expertise in elder and family law. From the moment I contacted the John Virdone Law Firm, I felt reassured and supported, despite the complexities of my case. John quickly understood our unique situation and crafted a solid legal strategy to protect my and my mother's rights and our family's unity.
I have witnessed John Virdone’s competence as a skilled litigator and defense attorney in every interaction and courtroom appearance. I am impressed by his personal attention and his ability to clearly explain legal matters. He has shown a remarkable commitment to addressing my questions promptly and thoroughly. John genuinely cares about achieving the best outcome for his clients.
Although my case is still ongoing, I feel compelled to share my experience, at this time, to help someone else who may need a trustworthy, dedicated, and knowledgeable advisor in elder law and family law. I look forward to updating my review, at the conclusion of our case. Thx, MCoppin

I think this is a review that needs to be posted for others like myself!
Robert Montefusco Law Group had served me in a moment of need, or should I say, when I needed someone to get me out of a disaster I found myself in, due to a incompetent attorney that misrepresented me for 3 years running prior. I finally had to stop the bleeding. I had enough of her poorly representing me!
I didn't realize how bad she was until I witnessed how good Mr. Montefusco is! It was a completely different experience.
She did not communicate with me at all throughout my experience with her. The only communication I had with her firm, was through the billing department. Overall she charged me more than $45,000.00 and I lost every appeal with the court!
Robert looked at what had happened prior to him taking the case, and gently explained that what she did really hurt my case. He never once said anything condescending about her but I was able to read between the lines.
When I decided to have Robert represent me at trial, we had less than three weeks to prepare. He worked into late at night, several nights and we ended up getting all our documents we needed together for the trial.
We went to court, I watched him represent me and I was in awe of his grasp on questioning the witness, (my ex) and watched his performance in the courtroom. He took complete control of the room, and I believe their was nobody that could have done a better job than Mr. Montefusco!
So I say, thank you so much for giving me confidence back in the legal system! You're due diligence I hope will pay off, because in the words of My Cousin Vinny, Just give him a chance, he can do this!

I am so thankful to have had Danielle Seid-Vazana as my divorce attorney. Danielle is a very professional, responsive, diligent, a caring attorney. She listens to every detail and her approach is well throughout. I would highly recommend her for anyone dealing with a highly contested divorce. She stood by my side the entire time until the end. I truly can't thank her enough as she helped me get through a difficult time in my life.

Danielle is a compassionate, caring and present family law attorney. She is responsive, timely and actually cares about the best interest of your child. Before I started working with her I referred a few clients to her based on a recommendation, and I’m happy that I hired her as well once I had respond to litigation for the first time in four years. It’s important to have someone who cares because otherwise the attorney will get bored of your case, won’t respond and you’ll be put on the back burner. Danielle is unlike the others and I highly recommend her.

Whenever you need an attorney, it is likely during an extremely difficult time in your life. Navigating the legal system while navigating your personal life can be exhausting and overwhelming. John made the process as seamless as possible. Often guiding opposing council & client through it simultaneously. He is extremely knowledgeable, empathic and caring. John stepped in, caught up on my case quickly and handled it beautifully. He took every call, answered every email and followed up consistently. I would highly recommend John and the entire Quatela/Chimeri firm.

John is a perfect mix of professionalism and compassion. Going through a painful divorce, it is easy to lose hope, but having John by my side reminded me that there would be light at the end of the tunnel.
John is steadfast in his approach, taking time to provide no-nonsense guidance and even made me smile along the way. He provided outstanding legal representation and I would not have found the freedom I needed without him. I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend John.

I want to express my gratitude to my lawyer Joana Kaso for helping me adjust my status through Special Immigrant Juvenile Status. I came to her with my case, and she guided me every step of the way. She was able to obtain the necessary court orders in Family Court and then skillfully handled my I-360 petition with immigration, which was approved much faster than expected. Thanks to her hard work, I now have my Employment Authorization Document (EAD) and am waiting for my green card. I couldn’t have done it without her support and expertise. Highly recommend her to anyone in a similar situation!

Joana Kaso is an outstanding immigration lawyer who played a crucial role in obtaining my US citizenship, despite facing a significant challenge due to a medical condition. Her expertise and dedication were evident from the outset.
What made her efforts even more remarkable was that this was my third time applying for citizenship. With two previous denials under the guidance of other lawyers, Joana's approach stood out because of her knowledge to disability and social security law.
Joana navigated this complex situation with determination and compassion and was able to assist me with requesting a medical disability exception to the civics exam.
She guided me through the process of applying for medical disability exception, ensuring all necessary documentation was prepared and submitted promptly. Joana's knowledge of immigration law combined with disability law and her proactive approach were instrumental in presenting a compelling case before USCIS. She was prepared when communicating with the immigration officer advocating for my rights.
Thanks to Joana and her staff's relentless efforts and commitment to excellence, I successfully obtained US citizenship through the medical disability exception. I am immensely grateful for her expertise and highly recommend Joana Kaso to anyone seeking a dedicated and skilled immigration lawyer.

He couldn't take the case because the business is located in Boston but he provided me with a free consultation knowing in advance that he wouldn't be taking the case. I will be contacting him again with any legal issue I might need assistance with in New York.

I would highly recommend Venessa to anyone. I was looking for a new attorney when I came across Vanessa in my research. I was nervous, as I have had some attorneys that I don't feel really had my best interests at heart. When I visited with Vanessa and told her my situation she gave me a realistic understanding of my options. She showed care but also told me how it was. She didn't lie to me and give me unrealistic expectations. She fights for her clients and knows her stuff. She was detailed and included me in every step of the way, and took care of everything. If I ever need her again I wouldn't hesitate to call her. She's amazing.

I am thrilled to write this testimonial for Keith Betensky, my attorney who represented me in obtaining a permit that I was told we could not acquire. Keith was nothing short of phenomenal throughout the entire process. He worked tirelessly on our case, never giving up and always believing in us.
From the outset, Keith demonstrated a deep understanding of the legal system, use variance for various towns and was able to provide clear guidance on what we needed to do in order to succeed. He was always available to answer our questions and address any concerns we had along the way. His unwavering dedication to our case gave us the confidence we needed to persevere, even when the odds seemed stacked against us.
When it came time for the hearing, Keith was fully prepared and ready to fight for our cause. His attention to detail and meticulous preparation paid off, and we were able to secure the permit we needed. We could not have done it without Keith's hard work and expertise.
I highly recommend Keith Betensky to anyone in need of legal representation. He is an outstanding attorney who truly cares about his clients and is willing to go the extra mile to help them achieve their goals. Thank you, Keith, for all that you have done for us!

From the outset, Keith demonstrated a deep understanding of the legal system, use variance for various towns and was able to provide clear guidance on what we needed to do in order to succeed. He was always available to answer our questions and address any concerns we had along the way. His unwavering dedication to our case gave us the confidence we needed to persevere, even when the odds seemed stacked against us.
When it came time for the hearing, Keith was fully prepared and ready to fight for our cause. His attention to detail and meticulous preparation paid off, and we were able to secure the permit we needed. We could not have done it without Keith's hard work and expertise.
I highly recommend Keith Betensky to anyone in need of legal representation. He is an outstanding attorney who truly cares about his clients and is willing to go the extra mile to help them achieve their goals. Thank you, Keith, for all that you have done for us!

Thank Ms Zhang for her kind and professional support through our H1B petition filing process! She can provide the most accurate legal answers to our problems, and she priced fairly for a small startup company like my supervisor's. Her work with the petition is well-done and very proficient, and she always keeps my best interest at heart when I am struggling with the choices. All in all, I wish her law firm the best and hope to work with her again!

In the course of the conversation that I had with attorney Russel, we discussed a wide variety of subjects regarding a variety of themes. The planning of estates and weddings amongst persons of the same gender were two of the issues that we discussed throughout our conversation. Those individuals who paid attention to what we had to say were able to extract a great lot of value from his professional advice, which was of the highest possible quality and presented a large amount of support in a practical sense.

What a Family Law Lawyer Can Do for You
A family law lawyer provides legal services related to family relationships, including marriage, divorce, child custody, and adoption. Family lawyers help clients navigate emotionally charged legal issues, providing guidance and representation in disputes that affect spouses, children, and parents. Whether you're going through a divorce, seeking custody of your children, or drafting a prenuptial agreement, a family law lawyer ensures your rights are protected and your interests are represented.
Family law attorneys often handle sensitive matters and offer objective legal advice, helping clients reach fair outcomes either through negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
When Should I Hire a Family Law Lawyer?
Hiring a family law lawyer is beneficial in several situations, especially when legal matters involve close personal relationships. Common reasons to hire a family law lawyer include:
- Divorce or separation: When ending a marriage, a lawyer can help you navigate issues such as division of assets, spousal support, and child custody arrangements.
- Child custody and visitation disputes: If you and your co-parent can't agree on custody or visitation, a lawyer can represent your interests and work toward a solution that benefits your children.
- Child support: Whether you’re seeking child support or defending against a claim, a lawyer can help ensure the appropriate amount is calculated and enforced.
- Prenuptial or postnuptial agreements: A lawyer can help draft or review agreements that protect your assets in case of divorce.
- Adoption: Family law lawyers guide you through the legal process of adoption, ensuring that all requirements are met.
- Domestic violence or restraining orders: If you're a victim of domestic violence or being falsely accused, a lawyer can help you obtain or challenge protective orders.
- Paternity cases: If there are questions about the paternity of a child, a lawyer can help establish or dispute legal fatherhood.
Hiring a lawyer early can prevent issues from escalating, and they can offer you the best chance of achieving a favorable outcome in emotionally charged situations.
What Does a Family Law Lawyer Do?
A family law lawyer provides a wide range of services depending on your specific legal needs. Their responsibilities may include:
- Advising on legal rights and options: Helping you understand your legal rights regarding divorce, child custody, support, and other family law issues.
- Filing legal documents: Drafting and filing petitions, motions, and agreements with the court, such as divorce papers, custody agreements, or support orders.
- Representing clients in court: Arguing your case in front of a judge if a settlement can’t be reached through negotiation or mediation.
- Mediation and negotiation: Assisting with alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation, to reach agreements on issues like custody, property division, and support without going to trial.
- Enforcing court orders: Helping you enforce court orders related to child support, alimony, or custody if the other party fails to comply.
- Drafting prenuptial or postnuptial agreements: Creating agreements that protect your assets in the event of a divorce.
- Handling adoption proceedings: Ensuring that the legal process of adoption is followed, from filing paperwork to finalizing the adoption in court.
How Are Family Law Lawyers Paid?
Family law lawyers typically charge clients in one of several ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Common payment arrangements include:
- Hourly rates: Most family lawyers charge by the hour, with rates varying based on experience and location. Clients are billed for the time spent working on their case, including consultations, court appearances, and document preparation.
- Flat fees: For more straightforward legal services, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, some lawyers offer flat-fee arrangements.
- Retainer fees: In cases that are expected to require significant time and attention, such as contentious custody battles, a lawyer may charge a retainer, which is an upfront payment that covers the initial costs of legal services. The lawyer then bills against the retainer as they work on your case.
The exact cost will depend on the complexity of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure, which should be discussed upfront.
How Much Does a Family Law Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a family law lawyer varies based on factors such as the lawyer's experience, the location, and the complexity of your case. Here are some general cost guidelines:
- Hourly rates: Family law lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour, depending on their experience and the complexity of the case.
- Flat fees: For simpler cases, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, fees may range from $1,000 to $5,000.
- Retainers: For more complex matters, such as contested divorces or custody battles, lawyers may charge a retainer ranging from $2,500 to $10,000 or more. The lawyer will bill against the retainer for the work they do on your case.
- Additional costs: You may also be responsible for additional costs, such as filing fees, mediation fees, or expert witness fees.
Always ask for a clear breakdown of the lawyer’s fees and any additional expenses during your consultation.
Top Questions to Ask a Family Law Lawyer
Before hiring a family law lawyer, it's important to ask questions to ensure they're the right fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask during your consultation:
-
What experience do you have with family law cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it's a contested divorce, child custody dispute, or adoption. -
How will you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or requires a retainer. Ask for an estimate of the total costs involved. -
What are the possible outcomes of my case?
An experienced lawyer should be able to give you a general idea of what to expect based on the facts of your case. -
What is your approach to resolving disputes?
Ask whether the lawyer tends to favor negotiation and mediation or whether they prefer to take cases to court. This can help you determine if their style matches your goals. -
How long do you expect my case to take?
While it’s difficult to predict, the lawyer should give you an estimate based on similar cases. -
Who will be handling my case?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may do much of the work, so make sure you understand who will be your main point of contact.
How to Check the Credibility of a Family Law Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable family law lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and reputation:
- Check state bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed to practice in your state and is in good standing with no disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on websites like Avvo, Google, or Martindale-Hubbell. Previous clients can give you insight into the lawyer’s professionalism and success in family law cases.
- Request references: Ask the lawyer for references from past clients who can speak to their experience with the lawyer.
- Review their website or professional profile: Look at the lawyer’s background, case history, and areas of focus to ensure they have substantial experience in family law.
- Look for professional memberships: Membership in reputable organizations, such as the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), can indicate a lawyer's expertise and dedication to family law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a family law lawyer, it’s important to come prepared. Here’s what you should bring:
- Relevant documents: Bring any documents related to your case, such as marriage certificates, prenuptial agreements, financial records, custody agreements, or court orders.
- List of assets and debts: For divorce cases, prepare a detailed list of all assets (e.g., homes, bank accounts, retirement funds) and debts (e.g., mortgages, loans, credit card balances).
- Details of the family issue: Provide a written summary of the situation, including key dates and facts related to your divorce, custody dispute, or support issue.
- Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions you have about the legal process, costs, and potential outcomes.
- Your goals: Be prepared to discuss your objectives, such as custody arrangements, property division, or spousal support, so the lawyer understands your priorities.
Being organized and clear about your situation will help the lawyer evaluate your case more effectively and offer the best advice for moving forward.
