Judy represents what a lawyer should be; a counselor. She has assisted/represented my family on 2 occasions. She has also represented a couple of my dear friends. When you need a lawyer, you need someone you can trust and depend on. You may not always like what you hear and the advice she gives you. Trust me when I say trust her. The counseling she is giving is the best. Often when you need a lawyer you have soaring emotions and that is when you need Judy. Thank you Judy 🙏

Ms. Serritella was and still is the best Lawyer we’ve ever retained. She’s worth every penny. She works hard for each of her clients. I trust her and that’s golden.

This attorney added to the mental trauma of the divorce. She is boorish and greedy. Throughout the process she had me wondering if she was working for the other party. I knew she was aggressive and I thought that would work in my favor, but she was like a lamb in court and before the other party. Only aggressive to me. She is also a bully. She talks up a storm so you can't understand a word. Years after the divorce I am still facing issues that were in the court order, but undetected by her.

One of the most unprofessional, rude, disorganized, inept lawyers I have ever encountered. Divorce case, which is still going on, has not progressed over last 1 1/2 yr. Recently fired her. She doesn't have large staff. No ability to do background workup necessary. Dishonest about work done. Very defensive. Never prepared for phone conferences. Never gives objective answers. Zero attention to detail. Easily pushed around by opposing counsel. Freely uses "f" word. So unprofessional. Only worries about payments to her. Wouldn't even recommend her to my ex! DO NOT USE this "attorney".

She doesn't care about her clients at all. Her assistant does the attorney work. Isn't that against the law? My ex would get mad that she'd never respond to her lawyer. When we reached the point that things had settled down and we were able to talk we discovered that Judy caused us to waste a lot of time and money. She helped create issues that shouldn't have been issues and conflicts that were probably because what my ex's attorney told her, Judy doesn't do any work, she lies to the other attorneys and the judges and she doesn't seem to care.

Helped someone research attorneys & she came "recommended." Researched & what I found sent up red flags. Immediate observation is that she either has 5-star or 1-star reviews; not much in btwn except one 2-star review, also negative. Some 5-star reviews are by Anonymous as are many of the 1-stars. Summarized categories: -Personality: She's a wooer up front but then turns rude, judgmental & condescending once she has your retainer/case & especially if you disagree +/or question her. -Character: Dishonest (in word and deed-billing) -Practice: Tells you what you want to hear up front but doesn't deliver; capitulates; argumentative with client vs. FOR client Summary: friend met with her. She talked fast. Friend waited a few days to decide; called back to pay retainer (against my advice). Office didn't answer but went to an answering service. Then when got back, claimed additional fees were needed to pay the retainer! Friend also started to have red flags & didn't hire her, THANKFULLY.

I couldn't agree more with Horrible personality, rude, unresponsive, unprepared, unethical billing practices. Do not waste your time if you value your assets or your children. Once she has your money she could care less, and don't even think about asking her to do her job. She will lie to you and throw a adult temper tantrum when you cite the law to her. She is rude and condescending. & She will not communicate or accomplish anything for months and even will allow opposing council to not turn in documents in the legal amount of time required by law. She will expect you to either submit to getting screwed by opposing council or she will withdraw herself. She seems great at first and then it seems like she works for the other party. She tried to with draw and has Billed me for every single thing she askes me to respond to.
