He gave me the run around said he was going to take my case and send me a email on how to make the payments after I paid to have all my paperwork faxed to him I definitely won't hire them for nothing

This is the second lawyer I have hired to help me in my case. I found the firm through a internet link looking for lawyers to handle the case. I had the first conference with mr Jeffries a few days ago, I was amazed at how personable he was first off. Secondly this man saw right through the other party and immediately after already had a game plan in place. My child means everything to me and my recent experience with a family attorney before mr Jeffries ended way differently!! I cannot express my gratitude to mr Jeffries for really fighting for my family!! And for being able to see right through the other party!! I would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a family lawyer!!!! Honestly my mind is blown minutes after we walked out of that room he had the next steps laid out for me and it was a huge weight lifted off of my chest!! Best attorney I’ve ever delt with and glad to have him representing me!!! I cannot thank mr Jeffries for his time and thoughtfulness towards me and this case well knowledgeable and quick thinking!!!

I was in the market for a lawyer to battle a child custody/PFA case. After extensive research and recommendations I decided to call DeRiso, DeRiso. They appointed Brittany Petricca to my case, and let me tell you, I couldn’t be happier with her professionalism, knowledge, and compassion. She’s thorough, responsive, experienced and left my mind at ease during this tough time. I understand when someone hires a lawyer they expect them to be on call like the review below, but let her do her job and she will do the best of her ability to get you the outcome you’re looking for and/or deserve. Although my case is still ongoing, Brittany has fought for me and everything is working out in my favor, rightfully so I might add. Trust in Brittany and this firm. You won’t regret it.

**CHILD CUSTODY** I hired this law firm for a child custody first they gave me Brittany. She didn’t return my calls I had to keep calling into the office. When I asked her if she was to busy for my case she became very rude and defensive. I asked if I could work with another attorney there because I felt she was going to help me. The firm gave me Anthony. I didn’t know at the time but he would be leaving the firm in the middle of my case… He didn’t look at my case until 5 minutes before the hearing. It didn’t end well for me. We were going against my son’s mother which has 3 dui’s and 3 simple assaults while we were together, even had to call the police on her for hitting me and the kids. Somehow I end up with supervised visitations! He just agreed to whatever her attorney came up with. Also during the 2nd conciliation he assured me the supervised visits done and I trusted him. Let me tell you! The supervised visits were definitely not over and that law firm could’ve done more damage than they already did to my family. If I hired anyone else even a public defender, I feel that it would’ve been a better outcome than what happened! I paid 3000.00 for someone to destroy my relationship with my child and back me into a corner I’m fighting my way out of! Oh the Michael did reach out to me but only when I left a bad review. Honestly things were way worse than what I just described. Please please please be very careful when hiring this firm. Don’t end up like my son and I.

Had a previous review stating my displeasure with this law firm and was told by the lawyer I better take it down or he will sue me. So it's removed.

My outcome was way better then i thought it would be. I was facing alot of jail time but with the help of ms Nina and this wonderful law firm i walked away with probation. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thank you so much guys from the bottom of my heart!!!!

Great people from top to bottom. Especially Nina Martinelli. She is not only a great attorney, she cares. A lot. I did not make her job easy, and never once was she anything but compassionate, helpful and focused. I am using the firm for both criminal and family, and do not doubt their abilities an ounce. Highly recommend the firm. HIGHLY recommend Nina.

Everyone from the receptionist to the attorney was very kind at a difficult time in my life and very caring that was very important
