First and foremost no one should go into a divorce thinking it will be easy or inexpensive. It is emotional, draining, and painful. There are no winners or losers especially when children are involved. With that being said, select an attorney with the knowledge that you are paying them, place your trust that you hired the best attorney possible however, know that they accepted you too as a client. There has to be mutual trust and respect. No decisions nor agreements will be made without consulting you and obtaining your final authorizations. Ann is especially skilled in cases which involve large assets, multiple properties, and her attention to detail in pensions and retirement orders were instrumental in ensuring I received my retirement benefits. If this is how you expect to be treated, and want to be represented then hands down F. Ann Crossman at Crossman & McNamee is the Attorney you want to represent you. She is a tough litigator, negotiator, and communicates every step of the process with her clients.

Met with Mr. McNamee as a mediator and was dismayed by his approach. He wasn't really interested in hearing my side of the story or seeing any documents. (I had them on my laptop and he said I couldn't get on his internet and he wasn't interested in seeing them because my lawyer hadn't sent them.) Twice in our conversation he contradicted himself and I found him to be quite biased. He counseled me to take an offer I thought was severely lopsided. I proceeded to file in court and ended up paying only 30% of what Mr. McNamee told me was "the deal of the century." Long story short: Would not trust him as a mediator; wouldn't recommend him as a lawyer. Nice couch in the lobby though; it's faux Edwardian style and probably costs a lot.

Matt is a great attorney and I recommend him to all of my friends. He is no nonsense, cut and dry and doesn't sell you false hope. He keeps it real and for that I will always be his client whenever I need legal help. Thank you Matt!

Such a kind, friendly , and knowledgble staff. 😁

Divorces are painful, and can be combative and expensive. With Ann in my corner, things worked out reasonably well. The opposing counsel was simply outgunned and outclassed. She's tenacious and thorough. One thing that I would suggest for folks going through this is - think about the implications of finances both during and after the process is over and be selective about the things worth fighting over. Things are easily replaced -don't spend 5K arguing over 3K worth of stuff (and yes Ann told me this at the time but I didn't appreciate it until years later).

Polite, easy to get ahold of someone

I found working with Matthew Barbato extremely easy. He is smart and very professional. He kept me fully informed throughout the process to a satisfactory conclusion. I highly recommend Matt and would hire him again if the need ever came along.

Mr.Barbato is wonderful. This man has given me hope in my custody case. Without him no doubt in my mind that I would still be fighting just to see my kids again. The moment he became my attorney so much was lifted off of my shoulders and everyrhing started becoming brighter and getting better. I really am so appreciative of him and so grateful. I highly recommend to anyone that is going through a similar situation.

I was well represented by Ann Crossman in a nasty divorce and am quite pleased. Sure while it's going on its stressful and expensive. Every divorce is. There's a system in place that doesn't feel fair but a good attorney makes sure you are treated fairly. Ann Crossman was always throughly prepared.

David and his team are compassionate and kind. They dont rush you and take time to listen to the situation at hand and partner with you on what we can do as a team to accomplish our goals divorce isnt a easy thing, and for me I dont want to take down my soon to be ex husband I want him and I to be able to put all things aside and focus on what is best for our children and there benefit. All else doesnt matter, only the children
