Mario is so competent, pragmatic, and shrewd that His outstanding service helps to make my case from negative to positive.

My ex had seriously unlimited coffers, hired some of the most expensive lawyers in the USA, and in the end had 5 of them against Mario. My ex paid off school officials with donations, and used financial strength to bully anyone who would have helped testify about the reality. And guess what? Mario still won! And he did it with style!

Mario has delivered everything he promised to do u won full custody in addition to legal fees, he made the process easier to know that he allways has my back in court and out. He has a great dialogue with my judge which was a huge help !! I had a extreme long difficult divorce that Mario is wrapping up now I say salute to Mario !! I also want to say in the staff and his partner John has also stepped up in need the office is on top of everything I didn’t have to remind them ever to follow up in what needed to be done !!

I am still grateful to Mario and his law partner John for their assistance in my divorce case. It didn't make a great deal of difference in the end, and I wish that I had just agreed the initial petition and saved myself the heartache, but, this was't really their fault. The counsel in opposition was, shall we say, difficult. I have fond memories of some of the lighthearted conversations I had with them regarding lawyer jokes or one of John's favorite phrases 'heretofore had herein' they did indeed go the extra mile for me. To their credit, they did try to get me to some of the work myself in order to reduce the size of my bill. Whilst I realize that Attorneys in general show a healthy interest in money, and in being paid, I appreciate their patience with me with respect to that. Let us be clear, divorce is unpleasant. My divorce was particularly unpleasant for me, and it's often tempting to view the people who helped you in that dark time in a somewhat rose-tinted fashion. However, one thing is certain - I have certainly not forgotten their assistance - it leaves one almost feeling a debt is due, such is the intensity of the experience. In conclusion, I was always very happy with the services that I received from the firm and have hesitation in recommending them.

Divorce is ugly, scary and painful but a good attorney can make it easy. From my first consultation I felt I was in good hands, Mario's first question to me was what do I want? Of all the divorces of people I know since mine not one I know has been asked this by their attorney. Its always cookie cutter this is what you get and that's that pay me. Not here, I was explained in detail what will happen and how I can get what I wanted. I was well aware of the plan and procedures throughout. I was instructed what I should do and not be doing. I felt I was well prepared throughout the entire experience. In the end i won Custody of my 3 children and life goes on. There is not a day that goes by that I do not thank Mario for all he did. I have recommended him to countless people who hire a lawyer from the yellow pages and wind up getting slaughtered. Its a big mistake, you cannot go wrong here he is the only divorce attorney you should call, no one can get the job done like Mario, John and staff. Thank you always Michael

I have worked with Mario several times over the last 15 years and I would highly recommend him as one of the best attorneys in New York. Very knowledgable and always there for you whether you need serious help or just a quick heads-up on a legal matter. Mario has gone beyond the call of duty for me many times including going out of his way to personally serve documents. In my opinion he is truly the best!

Mario was my attorney in a long custody battle from my ex wife which I was already divorce but was neglecting the child... bc of Mario I was able to prove neglect on her part and won full custody of my son. He is an amazing litigator and always ready and prepare for court. I was amazed of how much knowledge and understanding of the law he has.

My divorce was not an easy one. (Is it ever?) Mario and John and the entire staff were extraordinarily professional and kind during the entire process. Even after the divorce was final, several other issues emerged, and the firm continued to provide sane and cogent advice.

How many fathers go through a court battle in Nassau county and get custody of their 6 year old son? Not many. Mario helped me achieve that. Enough said.

I would never recommend to anyone. When you hear stories about sleazy attorneys he can be the poster boy. His ethics is something to be desired. During my divorce I lost my job. After hearing, Mr. Joseph wanted to be removed as my council. Soon after he wanted me to settle. He saw that the well was running dry. He was the attorney of record and with his advise persuaded me to settle for terms no other competent attorney would recommend. I attest to this because after finalizing, the settlement and chuld support I felt I was railroaded. It didn't feel right and it didnt make any legal sense. Less than a year, I tryed to modify the settlement without consul but was unsuccessful. You quicky realize that the court system is only for lawyers. Without one, the judge didnt want to hear it. I was told in not so modest words. I retained another attorney to undo/modify the settlement but based on the settlement it wasnt successful. Everyone knows, Judges don't like get involved in settlements.

After having been through several attorney's who all told me to give up...as my ex was facing 20 years in prison, claimed to be destitute ( of course) , and was incapable of holding down a job ( for various reasons) ...Mario, and his team, saw otherwise. After 4 weeks of trial , Mario proved and convinced the judge that my ex was a complete liar. The first sentence of the decision said...the court does not believe one word uttered by the defendant...need i say more!!!

Mario is a gifted attorney who brings his all to every case he pursues. He was tremendously helpful in navigating me through the muddy waters of divorce and I would recommend him to anyone going through the same.
