Positive: Responsiveness
I sent a couple of emails to multiple attorney for the consulting. He answered me on time with his long experience advise. I will go back to him if I need more help for my case.

I hired Silvana Raso and her firm to handle my divorce case, I was quoted one fee than charged additional fees, I feel she was not advocating in my best interest as well and she sided with my former wife's counsel and they tried to pressure me into a quick settlement, when I disengaged her and her firm they insisted on billing me for an additional $5k which I refused to pay so her and her firm decided to file a lien against me, In my opinion my case was handled all wrong and it's still costing me money..

My husband and I can't say enough positive things about this firm, Silvana and Danielle were fabulous to work with, very professional, understanding and get the job done. Silvana was wonderful during our consult, explained everything to us, once hired, she provided updates in a timely manner, and had our case settled and closed faster than we expected. Would highly recommend.

Schepisi & Staff handled my divorce years ago. They charged me an exorbitant fee. As a result of their legal assistance, my Ex -husband ended up with all our assets and I ended up with all the liabilities. Turns out he didn't need an attorney, because he had my attorney, Schepisi & Staff working for HIM! As a result of my divorce, I was set back financially for over 10 years, because I didn't want to pay more legal fees, and suffer more disappointment filing bankruptcy too... Thanks!

I retained Silvana Raso on the recommendation from a trusted friend, and I am so thankful I did. She is an excellent, and brilliant attorney. I was fortunate to also have Danielle Cardone on board, making this a true dream team in my corner. My divorce was difficult and very contentious. I was in financial distress and my life was in emotional turmoil, which made it difficult to think clearly and make good decisions. All that, while trying to understand the legal process surely complicated matters even more. Silvana provided sound and solid advice, explained the law in clear language, and outlined

I was referred to Silvana Raso. Silvana helped me through a very difficult negotiation. I would recommend Silvana if asked.

I don’t have enough positive things to say about this law firm. Silvana and Danielle were beyond efficient, skilled, knowledgeable, and professional. My divorce, even with all of the complications along the way, was filed and completed in 7 months. I am so thankful that I was referred to them, as I don’t think my outcome (and experience) would have been as positive with any other firm.

Mr John Schepisi took business litigation case from someone I know. He agreed to finish first task by agreeing to charge 3 hours of fee. After finishing initial task, we were expecting further discussion on what would be next task and additional fees. But John was not interested having further communication but they end spending additional 30 hours on the case without our knowledge. We were supposed to get bill and asked why our bill was not we agreed to of 3 hours as originally agreed to.
His firm is dishonest and all they want is put more billing hours without being transparent. His law firm
