I have never submitted an online review of any kind before, but I am now because Mr. Cally is simply outstanding. He handled my divorce case perfectly from beginning to end. Mr. Cally is extraordinarily knowledgeable in every aspect of New York divorce law. He is tremendously skilled in negotiating and in writing a contract that spells out in detail the exact agreement -on all issues, including child support, spousal maintenance, medical benefits, college costs, selling the family home, splitting up the assets, etc. My contract avoided all the potential pitfalls. I am sure of that because my divorce contract has now been fully executed. I am forever grateful to Mr. Cally for protecting me and for maximizing my benefit through his ability to negotiate strategically. What I care about most are results. I give Mr. Cally an A++ on results. A 10 out of 10. Additionally, Mr. Cally has a great personality and is very professional...very attentive, returned each of my phone calls and responded to each of my emails very promptly without exception. Everyone I dealt with at Nolletti was also a complete pleasure to deal with. This is an exceptionally well run firm. As I said in my opening, I've never submitted a review online before, but my experience with Mr. Cally and Nolletti Law Group was remarkable, and I'm happy to have taken the time to write this review.
I first met Jim and Lexi several years ago in a litigation matter I was handling for a client that was a third party in a matrimonial dispute involving one of Jim and Lexi's clients. I found them both to be extremely professional, amicable, competent, tough, and yet reasonable in addressing the issues in the case and dealing with opposing counsel. They were both extremely well-versed in current New York matrimonial law and very familiar with the judges, referees, attorneys, and courts in Westchester County. When my marriage unfortunately failed a couple of years later, I reached out to Lexi informally for guidance in seeking a mediator and how to prepare for a mediation. Lexi happily provided both. When my mediation proved unsuccessful, I retained Nolletti Law Group to assist me in finalizing my divorce. Although my divorce was relatively amicable and fairly straightforward, Lexi was invaluable in helping me get from Point A to Point B, guiding me through the stressful process of finalizing my divorce, and resolving our final thorny issues, all while keeping an eye on my fees and not running up bills unnecessarily (unlike many divorce attorneys I have heard about from my divorced friends). Now that my divorce is completed, I'm very grateful to Jim and Lexi for helping me through this difficult experience. I'm very pleased with the work they did and the results they achieved for me. I would highly recommend them to anyone, particularly anyone seeking a divorce in Westchester County.
I am an experienced attorney that has been practicing law for over 25 years. When I was served with divorce papers in April 2019, I thoroughly researched all matrimonial law firms within a 30-mile radius of my location (Rockland County) in addition to asking my colleagues who they would use if in need of a divorce attorney. The name that kept popping up over and over again was Nolletti Law. Throughout the entire process, Jim and his team, especially Bill Cally, with whom I worked most closely, provided excellent advice and counsel throughout my representation and navigated me through the frustrating, and oftentimes bizarre, maze that is a divorce case. From custody to separate property claims, to settlement, I always felt that I was part of a team of expert professionals whose only interest was representing my interests and that of my children. At every phase of my case, I was able to thoroughly assess my options and feel confident in the strategy that Jim's team and I agreed upon in prosecuting this matter. Communication is key in any litigation, and more so when the subject matter is as personal as a divorce. Jim's team answered every question I had and responded to such questions usually within the same day. After a long-drawn out contentious affair that lasted over twenty-eight months, I am thrilled to state that my first decision in selecting Nolletti Law was easily my best and most important decision.
Coming to The Nolletti Law Firm we were totally uncertain of what our options were and what best steps to take. Mr. Calley and the Professional Nolletti Team Diane & Nancy, quickly embraced us as a family and put our minds at ease. Our matter was handled with extreme care and we were pleased with the outcome. We couldn’t have achieved this without them. We Consulted initially and later moved to retention.
Jim and Lexi stepped in as my divorce lawyers after a previous lawyer had taken advantage of me by stalling my divorce in order to run up my legal fees. They got up to speed quickly and were able to settle my divorce under difficult circumstances. They are extremely prompt and professional. I am so grateful to them and would recommend them to anyone.
I worked with a lawyer from this firm several years ago, and found them very professional, compassionate, and knowledgeable. However, at this time, I would like to review a more recent experience getting some help from a legal assistant there, Diane. I needed some information from my file, which is now 4 years old, and I wrote to her asking for her help locating it. Although I'm not currently a client there, Diane quickly responded to my message and said she had pulled up my file. We spoke on the phone and I described the document I needed, and she took the time to locate it. Then she scanned the document and sent it to me. All interactions were polite and professional, and I felt that Diane went above and beyond my expectations to help me get the document in a timely manner. I really appreciated this help both from Diane this month and from my lawyer there in 2015.
My situation was quite complex and there was extreme hostility and turmoil from the other side. The counter-party's lawyer engaged in quite a few "unusual and hostile acts". Jim and his team were masterly at getting that professional removed from the case and then finding common ground to settle with a new counter-party team in place. I highly recommend the team.
The Nolletti Law Group is a tight network of highly professional attorneys and staff who walked me through my divorce. It was a year long process, coaching me and reassuring me every step of the way. I interviewed several matrimony attorneys and was dissatisfied with their view of what was considered marital property and equitable distribution. James Nolletti, Esq. and Alexandra Maxwell assured me a different outcome more reasonable and fair to both parties. I knew Jim and Lexie were the right attorneys for me. I appreciated them keeping me in the loop about filed papers and guiding me every step of the way by reminding me of what needed to be responded to to move the case forward. I received the correct advice about marital assets and fair distribution that allowed me to move forward without any doubt about the process and its final conclusion. You are in good hands with this team.
James Nolletti and his team handled my divorce in 2017. Despite the nature of my divorce being complicated and lengthy, Mr. Nolletti and his team treated me with care and support while working diligently to arrive at the best arrangement for me. They were always prepared and a step ahead of the other side. While I have no doubt that Mr. Nolletti will swiftly manage simple cases he is the only one I would want beside me if the situation is complicated. Mr. Nolletti is an expert divorce attorney.
I pray that even my biggest enemy doesn’t ever face the kind of divorce I faced. My divorce was the one of unnecessary length. Jim Nolletti and his group helped me to come out of the most stressful part of my life. He is smart and works until every detail is covered. He's also very honest - you can trust what he tells you. I am more than pleased with his adherence to ethical standards not only in the office but also in the court room. Jim and his team were there to answer all my questions and it didn’t matter if it was in the middle of the night or during the weekends. They replied to me very promptly and were making sure I understood the situation and they took time to explain everything to me. Mr. Nolletti was very considerate and supportive and he made sure I understand the ramifications of my firm choices. I was always kept well informed about the case. They made sure that I was getting everything that I was entitled to and protected me down to each detail of the divorce. His supporting staff are outstanding. Having Lexi and Diane two wonderful women to work with in his office was nothing but a pleasure. I can't say enough about how well Lexi prepared and knew the case issues. I would recommend Jim Noletti and his group to anyone who is facing an unpleasant situation of a divorce like myself! You will get the best service from them.
