I am incredibly dissatisfied with the legal services provided by John Pappalardo and his team during my child custody case. They consistently ran up the bill with ineffective strategies and failed to properly guide me on the best course of action, resulting in significant financial strain and distress.
Moreover, communication was severely lacking throughout the process, with my emails and calls often going unanswered for days. I felt like I was constantly kept in the dark about important developments in my case, and when I did receive updates, they were vague and unhelpful.
Additionally, the level of professionalism exhibited by John Pappalardo and his team left much to be desired. I often felt dismissed and belittled whenever I raised concerns or asked for clarification on legal matters.
Overall, I would not recommend John Pappalardo's legal services to anyone in need of competent and reliable representation. My experience with his firm was nothing short of a nightmare, and I am left feeling extremely disappointed and let down.
In conclusion, I strongly advise against utilizing John Pappalardo's services for child custody cases. Their poor communication, inadequate preparation, and lack of effectiveness in the courtroom only served to heighten stress and financial burden. They do not prioritize or protect the well-being of the children and struggle to handle cases involving domestic abuse or high-conflict custody disputes.

John did a wonderful job representing me with a real estate case. He was cordial, concise, professional, upfront and extremely knowledgeable. His council was excellent every step of the way, and I truly felt he looked out for my best interests. I would highly recommend him for any legal issues. You will be in good hands!

Nothing about separation and divorce, especially those involving children, is easy or simple. After initially consulting with John, I felt heard and supported. He asked pointed and relevant questions, allowing me to focus on what was most important to me - my son's safety, health and well-being. Even though I am steeped in the second round after a failed reconciliation, there was no judgement, only compassion and empathy. His team - from the office assistant to the associate - is highly professional and courteous. He came highly recommended by a trusted friend and I am pleased to continue the endorsement, no matter the outcome.

Working with John Pappalardo was truly a refreshing and enlightening experience. The support I received and level of commitment in making sure that I was fairly treated by the court system during my divorce proceedings was beyond my expectations. Through John's guidance, I felt I could have complete trust in John and be assured that I would be taken care of throughout the process. The complexity of my divorce required much focus and attention to detail which I found to be one of John's strengths and was quite impressive. He was vested in making sure both the short and long term outcomes of my divorce were fair ones for me and my daughter. Normally, when one goes through such an extensive and tiresome process, you prefer not to continue the relationship with your lawyer due to the intensity of emotions and negativity during that time. Nonetheless, due to the support, respect and kindness received, I will unquestionably continue my relationship with John. John is a true professional with an extraordinary work ethic.

Mr. Pappalardo provided me with excellent legal counsel during my highly acrimonious divorce. He showed remarkable compassion for my deep concern about my son's well-being and happiness, which was my central focus throughout this process. Moreover, his insight and guidance during the custody phase of my divorce proved to be extremely beneficial not only legally but also in terms of my son's social and emotional needs.
As those of us who go through divorces know, there are very few positive aspects to this process. But, I will say that in my case, Mr. Pappalardo's honesty, integrity and depth of understanding of matrimonial law made all the difference to me. I felt like I was in good hands, and he would help me make the best of an extremely challenging situation. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a top-notch matrimonial lawyer.
