This guy doesn’t just show up — he shows up prepared. Watching him in court was like watching a masterclass in strategy and professionalism. He knew the facts, he knew the law, and — here’s the kicker — he knew how to get results. My family got exactly what we needed, and for that, I’m forever grateful.

Jim was crucial in helping me with my family court case. After attempting to resolve my case in Pro Per, with periling results, Jim came in and took control of the case, getting me a fair outcome. He can be aggressive when necessary, but also focuses on getting the parties to agree to a fair result on their own. He has great insight into the process and is easy to communicate with. He is supportive and kind-spirited. I would recommend him highly!

I have employed a number of attorneys on many matters. Mr. Sansone took over a complex case at a critical time and was up to speed on the case very quickly. His ability to drill down to the core issues and come up with a concise plan to accomplish our goals was apparent. Mr. Sansone is a no-nonsense, get the job done attorney and understands that it is important to make progress at a reasonable cost to the client. His communications are clear and he spells out the legal issues in an understandable simple way. I believe he is one of the best attorneys I have utilized and will count on Mr. Sansone for legal services in the future. I cannot overstate his abilities as my attorney.

James handled everything with professionalism and managed to be compassionate while doing so. He was very quick to return phone calls and emails and always kept me abreast of any changes in my case. I wouldn't hesitate giving Mr. Sansone a reference to someone I knew in California. I also wouldn't think twice about hiring him again if I ever needed a lawyer. He is the best choice I could have every made for my family law case and I am so grateful for the hard work and compassion he showed

About 20 years after my divorce, I had to have my ex-husband's retirement account divided. Mr. Sansone got the job done efficiently and effectively. Mr. Sansone's straightforward and aggressive tactics got me almost double what my ex wanted me to get. Mr. Sansone was really compassionate and strives to openly communicate with his clients. He understands the intricacies of the law and will tackle your case head on.

When my wife left me and the kids behind I did not know where to turn. Jim jumped in and fought hard to make sure we were taken care of, at the most reasonable rates in town. Now I have primary custody of the children, got to keep the house, and receive child support as well. I could not have hoped for better results. Thanks Jim!

I tried working with this attorney this year and he took a whole month to get back to me. Only to respond that he can no longer work on this case. Whenever I did try to call his number, it would go straight to voicemail. When I did leave a voicemail, my call was never returned. He only responded when I directed the email to him. Moral of the story: don’t waste your time in an unresponsive attorney.

Poor work ethics. Made several mistakes that had a detrimental effect on my case. Didn't send me documents. Didn't read my emails. He didn't advocate for me in anything. Argued with me. Failed to explain issues I didn't understand. Instead of fighting for what I wanted, he fought with me to accept what the opposing party wanted. Every time we had to go to court, he had to make everyone wait while he ran over to another courtroom for other clients. Basically did more harm than good.
