Reviews
I came to Michael during what can only be called the worst period of my life. Going through a divorce is hard enough but at the same time my daughter was being treated for cancer and there was a pandemic going on. He was always calm and clear and helped me to do the same, taking me step by step through what seemed like an unmanageable process. These never really end well for the people involved but I was able to come away with my dignity and confidence intact with his help.
Mike handled my case with the highest of professionalism and tact..Divorce and custody cases can be very personal, emotional and private. Mike helped guide me through a very difficult situation that I would not have a clue how to navigate, and he did it while always keeping my best interests in mind. I highly recommend Mike. Scalzo
i have hired Mr. Scalzo twice for matters he specializes in. Both times I received favorable outcomes. Having been involved in other legal situations where I felt billings were excessive, I've always trusted Mr. Scalzo to be fair and equitable when it came to fees. I would categorize him as a no nonsense, to the point professional attorney.
Very pleased with Mike's services for my Divorce. Very knowledgeable and helpful and had my best interests in mind.
Michael Scalzo is an excellent lawyer and an honorable man. My husband and I needed his help with a legal matter, and he acted quickly and effectively on our behalf. He communicated immediately when either he or the opposition made a motion, and he kept us well informed throughout the process. Yes, I would recommend him to friends or family, and I already have, many times. Michael Scalzo is an attorney you can trust, both professionally and personally.
I've had the good fortune to know Mike for over 30 years. He's an outstanding attorney who genuinely cares about the welfare of his clients. Mike has helped me out on many occasions when I needed assistance on a legal matter for one of my clients. I have without a moment's hesitation referred clients to Mike, and look forward to doing so in the future.
Mike Scalzo helped me a bunch, he stayed late for me when my wife hesitated while signing the pre-nup. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because he took a lot of time off and it was hard to reach to reach him at times during my divorce case.
