"My experience with attorney Allison Bishop and the Law Offices of Carmen G. Soto, P.A. has been nothing short of life-changing. After more than four years of exhausting litigation… with prior counsel, four judges, appellate counsel, and even representing myself, I was mentally, physically, and financially drained. Even having attended law school, I can say without hesitation that self representation / pro se is NOT a course of action I would ever recommend! The system can be unforgiving, and one bad or unfair judgment could permanently alter your financial future and your children’s well-being. Within just 45 days of engaging Allison Bishop, she achieved what had felt impossible: a fair and final settlement that not only brought peace of mind about my financial future, but also reduced my alimony obligation by nearly 4.5 years. This prevented what could have amounted to a "significant and unfair dollar burden". Thanks to her skilled negotiation, timely filings and dedication, I can continue to provide for my children without being crushed by unnecessary legal fees or excessive financial obligations. For the record, my former wife and I shared a home and raised two amazing children together. My former wife, we were together nearly 20 years and married for 16 of those years, she is the mother of my children and for the record I FIRMLY ADVOCATE FOR THE PAYMENT OF ALIMONY AND CHILD SUPPORT. But too often, men… especially fathers… are unfairly stereotyped in the family court system. Having the right attorney makes all the difference in ensuring the outcome is fair and balanced for everyone. What I could not accomplish alone in four long years, Allison Bishop and Carmen Soto’s firm resolved in weeks. I will forever be grateful for their professionalism, compassion, and commitment to justice. Because of them, I can now live, thrive, and focus on providing for myself and my children. Highly recommended. — John Michael Cataldi"
