I highly recommended Enrico! I used him 2 years ago for a custody case and he did an amazing job!! I recently had questions and I emailed him and he gladly answered them without no problem even though my case was been settled.

I turned to Enrico after being disappointed and misrepresented by different lawyers in my custody/divorce battle. At that point, I felt I would just need to give up. After talking to Enrico, He promised He would be by my side and truly represent me. And that is exactly what he did. He kept me in the loop weekly of any progress, answered all of my calls and emails promptly. He was always willing to fight for me and I can say he always did what he said h would. He got my divorce finalized and a fair custody order in less than 6 mo. He was truly a godsend, always there for me, fighting for me in court, the first lawyer I have met that had my best interest at heart. I would highly recommend Enrico. He is professional and willing to be your advocate. I can't thank him enough!! Thank you Enrico, you're the best! .....finally free:)

I was faced with the possibility of not seeing my newborn daughter for. I reached out to Enrico and immediately knew he was the right attorney for my situation. With his vast knowledge, his finesse and extreme attention to every detail, he faught for my rights as a father. He paid special attention to me as a person and took the interest of my child first and foremost. I can honestly say that without Enrico, I'm not sure where I'd be today. He faught for custody and child support to find a fair and balanced outcome for me and my daughters mother. If you are undecided about which attorney to retain, I highly recommend Enrico and his staff. They are knowledgeable and caring, ready for whatever might come in to play to reach a suitable and fair arrangement. Thank you Enrico for everything you've done for me and my family! My daughter is happy and well adjusted. Reach out to Enrico and his staff for all your family law needs, you won't be sorry and can thank me later! Best of luck to anyone in need of a family lawyer Enrico is hands down, the best!

Enrico helped me win a very favorable outcome in my high conflict custody case. He knew just what questions to ask to get me to speak to the points I wanted heard during my testimony and knew what questions to ask my ex in cross examination to help get my main points across in front of the judge, while maintaining an exceptional level of professionalism. While I hope I won’t have to use his expertise again, he will be the first person I call if I do. If you find yourself needing a custody lawyer, you will not be disappointed with Enrico.

Enrico has been working on my complex custody and PFA case since June and I could not be happier with his advocacy, expertise and overall demeanor. He handled a very messy and contentious case with professionalism and extensive legal knowledge. He made me feel so confident and capable when I thought I may have to testify, but he was able to come to a custody agreement with opposing counsel at the 11th hour of a 2nd day protracted custody trial. He was always up front and direct with my questions (and I had a lot), always answered me quickly and worked with me regarding finances and billing. Enrico is an ethical, moral and competent attorney and I would recommend him and his partner Maria (who wrote up a beautifully worded motion for me) to anyone in need of representation for custody matters. I am very happy with the custody order he negotiated between me and my son's father.

Mr. Pagnanelli is a highly intelligent, and skilled family law attorney. He represented me on a hotly contested divorce, and custody case, with the other side playing dirty. With his help, I obtained very favorable outcomes on each case that finalized. His sister Maria repped me in court, and fiercely fought back extensive and outlandish demands from opposing counsel, which ultimately tipped the divorce in my favor. She is articulate while answering questions. They also offer comparably affordable rates for their service.

I never write these reviews but after my experience with Mr.Enrico, I felt compelled to do something and share my experience. I was falsely accused by ex whom I broke up with of a form of abuse. I first consulted with Mr.Enrico whom immediately asked for texts even tho I was not his client at that time and stated he would read through them and take time out of his busy schedule and give me an assessment of what I was facing. Mr.Enrico returned my call within two hours and basically stated this was a false PFA that should not have been given and gave me advice on how to move forward even if I wasn't going to retain him. The obvious choice I retained him went into court and through his great knowledge and stand firm approach with the petitioner attorney he was able to let them know we would stand firm and not accept any deals due to me his client committing no form of abuse towards the accuser. Because of Mr.Enrico approach the petitioner attorney was able to convince his client this matter was a lost cost and to withdraw their PFA which will be completed this week. I thank Mr.Enrico for his help and stand firm approach and will recommend him to family or anyone else whom I know if they are ever an a unfortunate matter as this and the future and recommend him to you whom reads this review. Thank you again Mr.Enrico for fighting and having your clients best interest at heart.

I received poor representation from another law firm. I was on break in the middle of a conciliatory meeting that I was not happy with. I went online and saw Mr. Pagnanelli’s number and call him. I was encouraged by my former attorney to accept a very bad deal. Mr. Pagnanelli told me not to accept it because it truly was a bad deal. He is now helping me. I am happy so far!
