I worked with John on a divorce matter and was very pleased with his knowledge of the law and how meticulously he prepared our legal documents. I would highly recommend his legal services and those of his firm.

John has become almost part of my family. I learned to respect John, admire him and trust him. When people fight together they learn a great deal about one another, and we were engaged in battle. I learned that John is sharp, insightful, thoughtful, knowledgeable, caring, truly professional, a straight shooter yet an ace manipulator -- in a good way. John was able to balance my needs and comfort level with what he thought was in my best interest although those two characteristics were not always aligned. I found John to be the lawyer that actually is fundamentally different, better, than others.

John, is an excellent lawyer who knows the law inside and out. He is one of my go to attorneys when I have a question on any procedural matter.

Mr Smargiassi (of Joseph and Smargiassi) handled my divorce. I was always very happy with the way the firm behaved and I continue to respect both John and Mario for their hard work. I usually become suspicious when references are over-glowing but in this case they are deserved. As a professional, working in investment banking, I am used to dealing with Talented people and am not easily impressed but both John and his partner Mario impressed me. They were recommended to me personally and I have had no regrets with my choice of representation. Frankly I would have been happy to have included my name or email for a recommendation but the site prohibits it. However I am sure that if you ask the firm if this review is genuine they will recognize the, shall we say, British, writing style, and confirm that it is very likely a client of theirs that wrote it. I am not a mule, an employee of the company or a friend with an axe to grind. I really did go through a nightmare of a divorce and I was grateful for the work of the firm in a very hard time in my life. JN

Many divorce attorneys are fireworks, Mr. Smargiassi is calm, focused, and knowledgeable. Mr. Smargiassi (with his partner Mr. Joseph) took over my divorce case, which was stalled and I was unaware of the consequences my prior attorney had left me. Mr. Smargiassi has a geek streak in him: very technical on law and procedure. However, it's that geek streak that I learned to count upon: it's the really smart arguments that get heard by the judges. Mr. Smargiassi helped write a successful appeal in my case ... not too many divorce attorneys with those kind of chops. Lastly, on a personal level: he understands parenting and people: he's a great coach on finessing many aspects of co-parenting that help your children, and help you. Absolutely, I would seriously listen to any advice he gave on any aspect of divorce and family.
