Reviews
On a recommendation from another family law attorney, I hired Thomas to handle my child custody case. After our first conversation, I quickly felt comfortable and knew he was the right attorney for me. Throughout the case, I discovered his down to earth approach which truly had my child's best interest at heart. Thomas was very well organized, responsive and straight-forward. He was not afraid to give his opinion and advice, even when he knew it is something I wouldn't want to hear. He was very conscientious about how much time he was spending on my case and was and not looking to just run up his fees. I would highly recommend Thomas and would not hesitate to use him again in the future.
Thomas handled a difficult and lengthy divorce with patience, knowledge and professionalism. He coordinated all aspects with ease and confidence. He prepared me completely for the courtroom. I never doubted that he would get me to a successful ending.
I found Thomas to be particularly intelligent, knowledgeable and well versed in all aspects of the divorce process, ranging from the contested pre-litigation and litigation matters, to the complicated financial issues. Further, I found him to be practical, thoughtful and kind - often much needed attributes in what can be a very difficult and contentious process. Thomas is a terrific attorney, advocate and person, and I highly recommend him.
Thomas Villanti is the consummate professional. He is everything I could ask for in an attorney: intelligent, compassionate, knowledgable, savvy in and out of court. He is well versed in family law and is powerful in the courtroom. He listened to my concerns, validated them, and advised me of the best course of action to achieve the best outcome for my case. He prepared me every step of the way throughout the divorce process. Thomas always had time for me, promptly responded to my emails, and returned my phone calls. His staff was wonderful, as well. Thomas even met with me after my divorce, anticipating I would need help in my areas of weakness, and provided support materials for me. He still checks in on me. He goes above and beyond the norm: he far exceeds it. Thomas Villanti is a superb attorney.
