I hired Brian to take care of my divorce and he was absolutely great to deal with. During such a difficult time in my life I really needed something to go "easy" and that's exactly what he did. He was actually a pleasure to speak with, extremely kind and informed me of everything that was going on every step of the way, took care of all the paperwork and things that needed to be done and even cost me less than I thought it would be. Beyond fair and really was there for me. I'd highly recommend him for anyone going thru a difficult family matter such as divorce or custody issues, etc... Hoping I never need him again, but if I have another family issue, he's absolutely my 1st call. Thanks again Brian!!

Brian Picarello is an excellent divorce attorney. My case was contested, and we had a 3 day trial. He left "no stone unturned" and was thorough. The trial was a success! Brian listened to and addressed all my concerns and promptly returned my calls. He is caring and does the job! I couldn't ask for a better attorney to represent me.

I was in a very difficult situation with my Ex-Husband trying to get sole custody of my kids. Tried for a while to do it alone then began consulting with attorneys after realizing I couldn't handle it alone. I spoke about my situation with four attorneys including Mr. Picarello and he happened to have been the most reasonable and understanding with my situation. He was there at any time especially in times when it felt nothing would work in my favor. I would definitely recommend him for any family matter, he was extremely knowledgeable and helped me until I got what I wanted. You don't have to take my word for it... one consultation with him and you'll see what I'm talking about (and initial consultation was FREE!)

I did a lot of research looking for a really good attorney that wasn't going to rip me off like other attorneys have in the past and then I came across Brian Picarello. He was straight forward, honest and professional! I felt very comfortable with him and knew I wasn't being taken advantage of. I came all the way from Florida to handle this court matter and it was extremely stressful but Brian really took care of everything for me. I wish I had found him a long time ago! I will definitely be recommending him to all my family and friends back in NY. He was an absolute God sent and I couldn't have made it through this without him! Thank you so much!

After spending almost two years in the court system, I was highly disappointed with an attorney that I had hired and had really screwed up my case. A case that could have been handled efficiently and carefully. However, I was able to change attorneys and I was blessed with Brian Picarello. He came highly recommended and of course his display of dedication and tenacity really turned my case around for the better. I was always being contacted and being informed as how my case was developing. There were times during my trial that I felt so frazzled and perplexed. There was one thing that Mr. Picarello said to me I will never forget "trust me, I would NEVER steer you wrong". At that moment I trusted his advisement and judgement. With that I was able to gained most of everything that I was requesting from my divorce and then some. Again, I highly recommend Mr. Picarello.

I hardly ever write reviews, but I just wanted to say how happy I am that I hired Mr. Picarello to represent me on my child support case. He was very fair with me, and honest from the beginning on what I could expect. I highly recommend this lawyer.

Mr. Picarello represented me in a divorce and got me custody of my three children, and found a way to keep me in the marital home. He kept me fully advised each and every step of the way, and answered or returned all my calls very quickly. If you are getting a divorce, I would highly recommend Mr. Picarello

Mr. Picarello represented me on a criminal matter in Suffolk and he was great. Every time I called (which was a lot!) he answered my calls or got right back to me and was very patient with me. I was very nervous, and probably a pain in the neck, but he never made me feel like I was annoying. He worked with me on a payment plan and got me a great deal. I am very happy that he was my lawyer.

I always had bad experiences with lawyers in the past, but mr. Picarello is cut from a different cloth. He is kind, patient, knowledgeable, very accessible, and best of all, was honest with me from the very beginning about the costs and the time needed to defend me in my criminal case. He made me very comfortable throughout the entire process, and fought to get my charges dismissed. I would highly recommend him to anyone who finds themselves facing criminal charges.
