  Gerry has been my attorney for more than six years, giving me the unique perspective of working with him through every stage of a long and emotionally difficult custody case. He helped me navigate a situation in which my child was living in an unsafe environment with their other parent. Throughout the entire process, Gerry remained professional, ethical, and thoughtful in his approach. There were times when I wished he would be more aggressive, but I came to realize that his calm, measured demeanor earned the respect and trust of the judges, which is how cases are actually won. Seeing the credibility he had with the court ultimately gave me confidence to trust his guidance, even when it wasn't what I initially wanted to hear. More than anything, Gerry truly embodied the role of a counselor, not just an attorney. Over the years, he helped me manage the emotional weight of the case, kept me grounded during incredibly difficult moments, and consistently provided wise, steady guidance as we moved forward one step at a time. Today, my child is in a completely different place in life than when we first began working together. I can't help but believe that Gerry's counsel, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to doing things the right way fundamentally changed the trajectory of my child's life for the better. My family and I will always be grateful to have had Gerry advocating for us. His integrity, judgment, and dedication allowed justice to prevail, and the positive impact of his work will be felt by our family for years to come.

  Started very well. Colleen was the assigned Maggio attorney and she worked efficiently and got a settlement conference and signed agreement done in less than 3 months from start of retainer. That was by far the hardest part because my ex-wife and her lawyer were very indecisive and uncooperative. Then Maggio reassigned to Ellie who seemed to have no time for me and it took 5 additional months to get a court-ordered judgment. Communication went from good to terrible. Cost was far greater than expected given the amount of work and documentation I prepared. Very disappointed.

  How can i put this, i said 4 words after Mr Maggio was done representing me. Thank you your honor, Mr Maggio was very professional on handling my case. Very happy on the outcome. A no non-sence lawyer, knows his job and will fight for you. I have no hesitation recommending him. He is a true 5 star lawyer and worth every penny. Thank you Mr Maggio!!! Albert Flores

  “Gerald A. Maggio has represented me in an ugly, complicated divorce case for the past year, and my case is one with unusual circumstances that have convoluted many of the issues in the case. Moreover, although I know that many other divorcing persons feel the same way, my spouse in particular has been nothing but vindictive and vitriolic towards me on all issues in this case. I have had to deal with a business valuation, cash flow analysis, child custody evaluation, outrageous claims by my wife, a meritless restraining order, and a criminal case, among other issues, all instigated by my spouse with the intent to keep our children away from me and to take every last dime. I thank Mr. Maggio very much for helping me resolve these issues as favorable to me as I think was possible under the difficult circumstances of my case. I found Gerry to be easy to work with, knowledgeable, practical, and able to navigate me and my case through the most difficult time of my life with skill, caring, and compassion. Divorce is often expensive, and my case was one example of that, but I also feel it important to note that my wife’s legal fees were more than double what Mr. Maggio’s legal fees were, for essentially the same amount of work.”
