Abele is amazing, he got me everything I wanted on 3 separate court appearances. First he had a bogus PFA dismiss, then won me a full week vacation with my son and then got me an outstanding custody agreement. If he comes off as arguementive it's just his personality as he even states "I'm preparing you for how opposing counsel will question you on the stand". He is very ethical in his approach and is a beast in the courtroom. Also responsive to emails and phone calls. I highly recommend Abele for child custody cases.

Plain and simple,the most honest and bright guy I've yet to meet.I have had experience with many lawyers for business related issues,contract issues,and now divorce.Abele has actually renewed my faith in lawyers who are engaged in the practice of law.During a very emotional time,where thinking is clouded by personal feelings,and emotions,Abele has been instrumental and patient in keeping me focused on matters at hand;Without more of a financial interest. He is actually very busy with his practice,yet finds time to devote to your case; how he does it is beyond me. I'm actually afraid to say anymore nice things about him,for fear people reading this may feel it was not written by an actual client.His degree in tax law also comes in handy. In summary,if you prefer to get into a situation where you are more relieved to get rid of your lawyer than the issue you went to them with, then try someone else.

I have worked with Abele on and off for a few years with various child support issues and he has always been very helpful and extremely honest with me. He is a genuinely nice person but can be a shark when you need him to be! I'd recommend both him and his partner to anyone going through a divorce or child custody/support issue.

In a very emotional time,the death of my adult son,I contacted Atty.Iacobelli to help in obtaining partial custody of my son's 2 children.I find him to be exceptional both professionally and in kindness and compassion.Not only is he knowlegable in the law but also very intelligent in it's practical application.Atty. Abele Iacobelli is very personable,caring,and was very interested in the best outcome for my situation both at the present time and how it would affect the future.His integrity,honesty,and straight forward attitude are exemplary. I highly recommend Attorney Abele A. Iacobellie.

You will not find better than Abele Iacobelli and his incredible staff and partner! Trust me, I've tried to hire an attorney with competence, patience, professionalism, courtesy, and tenacity, but NONE even came close to this man. I had nearly given up on my legal fight for peace, but I knew I had to keep a family member safe from harm. I'm Soooo very grateful to Attorney Iacobelli for his understanding and ability to foresee the hurdles, speedbumps and pitfalls that surfaced down the road. He was very much on top of things in my case, notifying me whenever he felt I needed to have a "heads up" on what my adversary was up to! During my 5-year struggle to end my family's nightmare, most of the other lawyers were more concerned with collecting fees and playing games with my life, sometimes even talking about my case with previous attorneys, inappropriately. Their office staff was sometimes rude, disrespectful and hostile, which added salt to the wounds of the custody battle. Not the case with Amanda in Mr. Iacobelli's office. She was the BEST office staff there could be, and that's extremely important when you're already feeling beat down by the family court system. Even when bad news came up, it was reassuring to hear it from someone you knew was on your side. My family and I are forever appreciative of the professional service of this lawyer and firm! before you hire ANYONE else, talk to Mr. Iacobelli, PLEASE.

I would NEVER use Abele again, nor would I recommend him to anybody I know. Some of his poor detail work & complete lack of negotiating skills cost me a lot of money. He left me very vulnerable when it counted most.
