WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY

Testimonial
I knew Peter J. Fiorella, Jr. reputation from my partners at our business where he was a frequent customer. My wife and I had reached a decision to be divorced and wanted it to be uncontested and not to incur a great deal of emotional stress or legal fees. I provided to Peter our verbal agreement and Peter professionally provided to me significant areas that would need further negotiation so as to allow a Supreme Court judge to approve our Property Settlement Agreement. My wife’s attorney was diligent in his services to her and Peter and his staff were able to have me provide the documentation necessary to have a Property Settlement Agreement drafted by Peter and signed by my wife and myself to be submitted to the court and I was granted an uncontested divorce.
Testimonial
A friend was referred to Peter J. Fiorella, Jr. for a divorce which developed into a difficult and long negotiation period prior to a very satisfactory resolution. I attended conferences as my friend’s “advocate,” and was able to take notes to reassure my friend as to the status of the case and the strategy going forward which allowed her to have the courage and confidence to not be overwhelmed by the divorce process. Peter provided thoughtful and clear strategy that allowed my friend to weather the divorce storm.
Testimonial
My divorce case involved a contested custody issue regarding my children and I did not believe that my lawyer was aggressive enough to reach a resolution. I was referred to Peter J. Fiorella, Jr. and reviewed his website and it turned out to be the right decision for myself and my children. In less than six weeks he was able to draft a Parenting Plan Agreement, have the Attorney for The Children approve the agreement and have my wife’s attorney understand that if it was not agreeable, that we would go to trial and in our opinion, the wife would receive less access time with the children, which I did not want but was prepared to do if a fair custody agreement could not be resolved. It was. The winners are myself, my former wife, but most importantly, my children.
Testimonial
I retained Peter J. Fiorella, Jr. after reviewing his website and the testimonials from other clients. Peter and his paralegal team member were extremely professional, thorough, and timely with the strategy provided by Peter for me. My wife, through her attorney, attempted to make significant modifications to our verbal agreement and with Peter’s help and direction we were able to counter those positions that were not accurate, thereby resulting in significant dollar savings for me and yet provided a fair settlement for my former wife. I will definitely recommend him to anyone considering a divorce and know he will provide to them the same services he did for me.
