My wife was terrible to me. She was stubborn and irrational. My lawyer was great. He stayed level headed when opposing lawyer and wife did not and when I did not and because of his demeanor and experience, we came out on top. Great communication throughout. I am recommending him and his team to everyone that has some money, some kids and needs a good litigation team.

Tom handled my case with the help of his associate Kristen from start to finish. I met with Tom and he thoughtful, interested and very matter of fact about what was going to happen in my case. And you know what? He was right. He has become my go to guy on all my issues now. You can trust in Tom and his firm.

I used Tom Petrelli for my divorce. My wife was trying to really stick it to me and milk me for every dollar. Tom worked very fast, responded to every request, negotiated like a pit bull and was able to get a signed marital settlement agreement without a single court appearance. Now all that's left is filing the paperwork and I should be divorced in a month or two. Hooray!

Mr. Petrelli personally handled my case. The other lawyer, Albertine, helped out with one hearing too. I could not be happier with the outcome. They were very professional and gave great advice the whole way through. My divorce took about a year and I have already recommended them to someone I work with. Thank you!

My case was not on Tom Petrelli's priority list and I was extremely dissatisfied with the legal services his office provided for my divorce. Not only was Tom arrogant, but he was he was not helpful or timely with his services. I highly recommend choosing another attorney in the city for divorce law.
