"If you are headed for a difficult divorce and seeking compassionate, intelligent and competent representation, I highly recommend The Pappalardo Law Group. John Pappalardo and his associate, Judith Murphy worked diligently for me for over 5 years through an extremely contentious divorce. Despite the fact that my ex controlled all the marital assets and was willing to spend everything to destroy me, John and Judith stuck by me. My case was also very difficult as we had 4 different judges presiding due to the length of time it took to resolve. Two of the four judges were completely inexperienced and were blatantly incompetent. These circumstances made for a very challenging battle. During all of this, I felt that I had the best possible attorneys representing me. In an extremely emotional and soul crushing time, both John and Judith always made me feel like I was a person worth fighting for. Yet, John would tell me exactly what he thought, even if it wasn’t always what I wanted to hear. He is completely honest and told me what I needed to hear, giving the best possible advice. I thank them both for their hard work!"

"I am incredibly dissatisfied with the legal services provided by John Pappalardo and his team during my child custody case. They consistently ran up the bill with ineffective strategies and failed to properly guide me on the best course of action, resulting in significant financial strain and distress. Moreover, communication was severely lacking throughout the process, with my emails and calls often going unanswered for days. I felt like I was constantly kept in the dark about important developments in my case, and when I did receive updates, they were vague and unhelpful. Additionally, the level of professionalism exhibited by John Pappalardo and his team left much to be desired. I often felt dismissed and belittled whenever I raised concerns or asked for clarification on legal matters. Overall, I would not recommend John Pappalardo's legal services to anyone in need of competent and reliable representation. My experience with his firm was nothing short of a nightmare, and I am left feeling extremely disappointed and let down. In conclusion, I strongly advise against utilizing John Pappalardo's services for child custody cases. Their poor communication, inadequate preparation, and lack of effectiveness in the courtroom only served to heighten stress and financial burden. They do not prioritize or protect the well-being of the children and struggle to handle cases involving domestic abuse or high-conflict custody disputes."

"The Poppalardo Law group You never think one day you’ll need to go through the process of fighting for custody of your children. Unfortunately that day came me. I found myself in a love-less relationship with an unfaithful partner who I shared 2 beautiful children with. I felt helpless because you always think the law favors the mother in most cases. Being an extremely involved father who coached and was very active in my children’s life, I knew I didn’t want to be the typical every-other-weekend warrior father, I had to fight for my children. I was referred to The Pappalardo Law group from a friend of a friend who was also an attorney in Connecticut. She was very confident that this was the best Law Firm for my situation. I reluctantly made the call and set up the appointment. Turned out to be one of the best most important decisions I’ve ever made. John Pappalardo assigned his associate Sam to my my case and from day one they both worked tirelessly to understand our circumstances and put together an amazing case to present to the court. It was a long stressful road but being able to be in my children’s life on a day to day basis made the tough journey worth it. Sam was an amazing partner through all of this even going on maternity leave, having a baby and still returning to my case to close it out. She was extremely attentive and the communication always made me feel like I was a priority. Nobody ever wants to go through this process in life but if you find yourself in a situation where you’re fighting to keep your children in your life, I would Highly recommend reaching out and putting your trust in The Poppalardo Law Group."
