I was blessed to have found the law office of Pete Scaglione. Truly blessed. Without question, having to go through the process of divorce is amazingly difficult. That said, Pete, with the help of his assistant, were patient, thorough, forward thinking, emotionally supportive, direct, and honest with every step in the process. This is a team I would highly recommend for anyone, as they don't sugarcoat it, and push you when needed.

I've trusted Mr. pete Scaglione with ALL of my family-related cases for over 30 years and truly value his opinions and advice on these matters. While he is not the 'ambulance-chaser' type, he is well-known by his reputation and the kind words of the many people he has served. I cannot think of another man with this level of character and integrity in this field, a field of law that is widely known to be the most costly of any law discipline-family law.

Mr. Scaglione and his assistant, Kristy, were extremely professional and compassionate through the process of my divorce. Modifications to divorce decree were made one year later and was taken care of in a reasonable anount of time. I would definitely recommend Mr. Scaglione and his staff and have already done just that.

Retained Pete for a post divorce contempt matter. The opposing attorney was my current wife ex-spouse, who is an attorney. My case was handled unprofessional and not in favor of my best interest. Instead, Pete resolved this matter in the best interest of opposing counsel. Unfortunately, due to his malpractice I am still dealing with this matter 4 years later. The system definitely is a "good oh boys" network, looking out for their best interest not the clients. You would be better off pro se vs. using Pete, you have a greater chance of a favorable outcome. Pete is a disgrace to his profession.

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions
