Michael Gionesi is an excellent and devoted divorce lawyer. He is very professional, organized and knowledgeable. I was referred by a coworker. Initially, I met with Attorney Andrew Blum. He presented me to Michael. I remember that I was depressed and disappointed with my previous attorney that was on my divorce case. Attorney Blum and Attorney Gionesi made me feel at ease and confident the minute I met with them. I was satisfied with the outcome of my divorce. I would recommend Attorney Blum and Attorney Gionesi 100%.Thank you for your services.

I initially met with Andrew Blum at Michael’s firm, I told him I needed a bulldog to watch out for MY interests.....Andrew gave me to Michael! Professional, aggressive, knows what fights to fight and what to walk away from. He was straight forward with me, told me the truth, didn’t beat around the bush and fought hard, all along keeping my best interests right out front. Highly recommend!!! Thank you Andrew, thank you Michael.

Mr. Gionesi is a straight forward, hardworking, and very ethical attorney. He worked very fast and diligently on my case that was time sensitive. He walked me step by step on everything he did and I could not be happier with the results. He got me in with the appellant court very quickly and received an affirmative decision just as fast. Not only would I recommend Mr Gionesi, but I guarantee once you use his service you will look no further. He is an excellent attorney who really goes above and beyond for his clients, do not hesitate to call him. I really appreciate everything he did for my son and I.

Michael was true professional and always told it like it is- he didn’t sugar coat things and gave solid advice. I appreciated his honesty.

I first met Michael as an associate of the firm that represented me for my initial divorce case. He served as a consultant, and I must admit I always felt assured when he appeared for my court proceedings. Michael was extremely knowledgeable on all matters pertaining to custody, finances, equitable distribution, etc. Almost two years post-divorce, Michael has represented me in both post-divorce enforcement and custody cases. During extremely difficult and frankly terrifying times, Michael has been there every step of the way. He doesn't just state that he "has my back," his actions demonstrate it. Michael always has both mine and my children's best interest at heart, and is not afraid to "shoot me straight." If you are searching for an honest, caring, professional, no-nonsense, highly intelligent attorney, Michael Gionesi is your guy!

Michael is honestly one of the most straight forward honest and kind lawyers I’ve ever come across. I hired him for my divorce and custody case and he advocated for me with such devotion it always left me in awe. I am not one for confrontation at all and I tend to fold just to not get people upset but Michael constantly reminded me to think of my child and my future. He cares about the case but also for you as a person which I don’t think many lawyers do. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a true honest lawyer who will fight for you !

Michael Gionesi is an excellent divorce attorney (always prepared, extremely professional and had a way of easing my mind during some of the most difficult moments of my life). Let’s face it, the divorce process is not a pleasant thing to go through, but I’m very grateful to have had such a knowledgeable, supportive and compassionate attorney representing me. Michael always explained things very clearly and he responded to my phone calls and/or emails promptly (even after hours and on weekends). He never wasted either of our time and was cost efficient throughout the entire process. He listened to what was most important to me and he fought to make sure the final settlement was as good as I could get. I would highly recommend him!

I hired Tony Yovino of Tabat Cohen Blum and Yovino several years ago and Michael Gionesi was part of the reason for my long fought out and fair settlement. A short time after my settlement was ordered, my ex defaulted. I retained Tabat Cohen Blum and Yovino again and to fight a cross motion which my ex lost. Michael Gionesi is a very intelligent and skilled attorney. He is compassionate, caring and responds quickly to emails and phone calls to clarify the process and answer questions. Michael Gionesi is a great asset to the firm.

Mr. Gionesi is a brilliant, top class attorney with impressive knowledge and skills in family law matters. Mike has masterfully handled a range of issues in my ongoing case with a very apparent confidence, calm strength and expert legal knowledge. I have found Mike always extremely prepared and organized in Court, always explaining my questions with thoroughness and clarity. Mike is very tough yet very professional when dealing with my ex and his legal team. You can be certain he will fight very hard for your case. Mike is very organized and client centered always responding promptly to emails and phone calls. I highly recommend Michael Gionesi.
