Going through a very NASTY divorce Michelle Sunseri and her staff were super caring, helpful, sincere, trustworthy,and honest. They really went the extra mile. I highly recommend.
Even operating from a position of relative disadvantage, Doug and Katie got it done in spectacular fashion . They exceeded my expectations, and if you need a family law attorney they will exceed yours as well.
I have been working with this law firm for over a year, and they are fantastic, friendly and attentive. I highly recommend their services.
