I have went through about 4 lawyers and then hired Jeff. I have had him in my corner now for roughly 5 years and I'm keeping him there until my daughter graduates high school. He is extremely knowledgeable and knows what to do or say and when to. He is very calculated and firm when dealing with the other side. You do not want a lawyer that's a push over, Jeff is a fighter. Because of Jeff, I got 50/50 custody and much lower child support costs than most other guys I talk to. I've never been disappointed or felt let down by Jeff. He has always been fair and honest with billing, he will work with you and doesn't act like a bill collector like many lawyers do. If you are dealing with a custody or child support issue, you should take my advice and hire him. When it comes to your child or children, DO NOT hire a lawyer because their price is way cheaper per hour than most others. And don't hire one because they're the highest in town. Jeff's rate is somewhere in the middle but his performance is stellar!!! I can't say enough good things about Jeff as a lawyer. As I stated in the beginning, he's been my lawyer for 5 years and I'm just now writing this review, and I never write reviews. I just had to because he earned it. You don't know who I am but 'trust me', he is the one you want when it comes to protecting your kids and fighting for your needs.

Jeff has represented me twice and both times far exceeded my expectations. I never once felt Jeff and his Team didn't do everything possible to provide the very best outcome for me. I would recommend Jeff to anyone looking for honest, hardworking, and dedicated representation

I can not say enough great things about Jeff! Divorce is a horrible thing to have to go through, and Jeff was able to assist me emotionally, mentally, and professionally, much more than I could have ever imagined. I will / would highly recommend his assistance to anyone I truly care for. Thanks again Jeff!

Jeff made me feels very comfortable it what was a very difficult time. He knew exactly what to do and put my mind at ease many times about issues that would come up. He took time no matter where he was to get back to me as soon as possible. I appreciated his help tremendously.

Jeff has been my attorney in a long running custody battle. He is knowledgeable, principled and empathetic. I would highly recommend him.

Mr. Salassa only cares about how many hours he can bill you. One simple text of "ok" will result in quarter of an hour in pay. This adds up big time. It makes you never want to speak or text him since you are getting nickel and dimed on everything. There are a ton of other experienced attorneys who will look out for your well being and not see you as a paycheck.

I hired Salassa on the advice of one of his previous clients. I found him to be more concerned with billing than with the details of my case. He advised me to settle for far less than I should have. I would not engage his services again and strongly recommend seeking at least two other oppinions.
