Things were said that if I didn't know myself, I would have believed it all. It's hard enough to have to make sense of why your divorce happens let alone protecting your children.

I promise you, you will never look back, only forward! Thanks for always being true Anne- Louise!! - Your Biggest fan!

When I look for representation I tend to read all the reviews make my decision based on what I feel is an honest assessment of ones talents. I searched for an attorney to represent me when i was going through my divorce. I found Anne-Louise DePalo to be the most experienced in the field of matrimonial law. I felt confident and at ease knowing she would be by my side in court during every hearing. I never once doubted her talent and in the end I was correct. She went above and beyond the call of duty.I wish all lawyers were as good as her but they are not.If you are on Staten island and want the best representation then you need the DePalo law firm. There is no substitute for experience. If you start with the best there is no reason to worry.I only wish I could give more than 5 stars. I thank her for her hard work and expertise. I'm happy I chose her firm in my time of need. You won't regret it. Believe me when I say that if you start with a top ranked lawyer you will get amazing results.

First of all, I have to apologize to Anne-Louise and her staff. This review is long overdue, my apologies! Anne-Louise is a great attorney. Her staff are very friendly and professional too. Anne-Louise is an aggressive, passionate, and no nonsense attorney. She will fight for you! Unfortunately, the system (Family Court/Child Support) is severely broken. I guess it’s to be expected, in this city were the criminals have more rights and get away with the crimes committed. In my case, ex-husband, violator, and sad to say a deadbeat dad has been treated with kid gloves. My tax dollars are paying for his attorney, who is a disgrace to the profession. If it wasn’t for Anne-Louise, her knowledge of the law and dedication to the case, I would have given up. So glad I have Anne-Louise representing me throughout my battle with my ex-husband and the broken system!!! Don’t hesitate to hire her, she’s worth it! Good luck with your case…My saga continues due to the broken system…..

I met Ann Louise DePalo back in July 2019 when I started to go through with my divorce and had custody issues.. My main concern was having 50/50 custody to see my daughter as much as possible but I also didn’t want to get screwed in my divorce. Ann Louise is a fighter!! I seen it with my own eyes.. Even though I can’t get into the details of the case. She fought as hard as she could for me getting me everything I asked for. She always answered all my questions throughout the case with A quick response. I was definitely A pain at times but when someone goes through a divorce it’s extremely stressful. She went out of her way to encourage me and told me everything would be ok.. I Believed in Her and it all turned out very well for me. She’s very professional, an amazing attorney and I would recommend her to anyone.

I met Anne louise Depalo in 2006 when i needed her services from her law firm for my divorce and joint custody of my children. Due to her expertise and knowledge of the law i got joint custody of my children and very pleased on how my divorces was settled. i have had a need to go back to her during the last several years,each time sitting with Anne Louise is like being with a friend in which she has always made me feel comfortable because she could smile and laugh easily which would put me at ease. I trust her judgement and know because of her knowledge my issues will be handled in the best possible way. For this reason I highly recommend Anne Louise to anyone and everyone i know. Anne Louise is an excellent lawyer and has created a staff that are friendly and knowledgeable to compliment her firm.

Anne- Louise and her staff are professional and wonderful people. Each of them worked very hard on my case and didn’t quit till I got the result I wanted. Ann - Louise is very fair, she always tried to guide me not to waste money fighting over stupid things, even though she would of made more money doing so!! With that being said even when she didn’t agree with me, if it was really important to me she would try and do it to make me happy. She is alway on the ball and very responsive, she will also be hard on you to stay on top of things that need to get done because divorce can be very overwhelming. She is a a strong aggressive woman with a beautiful heart. No one else will fight fairly for you like this woman. I am very grateful I found her.

Divorce is awful, let's face it. The years of trauma of a bad relationship coming to a grinding halt and becoming a fight to retain enough money to live and keep some dignity. What you need is someone to help you navigate the process, to guide you through the ins and outs, to explain logistics over the pain. That person, is Anne-Louise Depalo. From my initial consult, I knew her and her amazing staff would do everything they could to help me. I am/was a tough client. They understood that and talked me off many a ledge. I could never thank them enough for their compassion and, using the Collaborative divorce process, I was able to end my marriage as quickly, with as little pain as possible, negotiate a settlement and and still live.

I had the privilege of having Anne represent me in my divorce in 2013 and in a child custody dispute in 2017. Anne was originally recommended to me by a friend who was actually beaten pretty badly by Anne in his case against his ex. As he put it, "she's a very effective pitbull who destroyed me". When I met Anne, I immediately understood what he was talking about. Anne is exactly who you want representing you when there's a lot on the line. She is extremely professional and knowledgeable in her field and you will definitely feel comfortable with her in your corner. I still recommend her to anybody I speak with who needs a great lawyer.

If you're a father who is trying to have equal time with your children and also have the finances to take care of them, then Anne-Louise DePalo is the attorney for you. Ann-Louise achieved both of these for my children and myself. Anne-Louise is very straightforward, tough, and compassionate. Another word that describes Anne-Louise that seems lost today is integrity. The DePalo Law Firm is also comprised of a fantastic team: Jen, Mark, Debra, and others. In closing, I would like to say thank you to Anne-Louise and the team for giving a dad the best Christmas gift he could receive; his children. - By Joe Skonieczny

Anne-Louise DePalo, Esquire is an absolute angel! She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and does whatever it takes to fight for her clients. She got me the deed for my house in THREE (3!) days and she made it easy to quickly refinance my house before the rates skyrocketed. Extremely prompt in answering emails and all other forms of communication. Her entire staff was accommodating and they all work extremely hard for their clients. She has had my back through the entire divorce process. If you need a divorce attorney, go with Mrs. DePalo. She is the best there is.

I have used Anne-Louise on two separate occasions (2015 & 2023). Each time she handle my case with professionalism, and efficiency. She knows what she is doing and I never had to worry when representing me. She knows her craft, executes perfectly and is well respected among court personnel. She is a force to be reckoned with. In addition, her staff at the firm are compassionate, kind and easy to work with. Although I wish I didn’t have to go through this process, having Depalo law firm on my side made a difficult situation a success and gave me hope back.

In 2020, I hired Ms. DePalo to help with my mom’s estate. Despite its being the height of Covid, she managed to do everything in an expeditious fashion. I was very impressed with the breadth of Ms. DePalo’s knowledge, so subsequently recommended her to a dear friend when she needed a lawyer to handle her divorce. Since then, she has also planned another friend’s estate and will shortly be working on yet another referral. Ms. DePalo is not only efficient, but also a kind and compassionate person. I recommend her highly for any and all legal matters.

I like to say Anne-Louise DePalo stood behind me from day one, I was nervous never thought I would have to worry about child support or custody agreements, let alone ever hiring a lawyer. But, Mrs. DePalo walked me through the process listened to my side of things & was a very understanding throughout the whole process. All questions & concerns I had were always answered. Everyone I was in contact with in her office acted very professional and caring. I highly recommend Anne-Louise DePalo Law office.

Ann-Louise handled my post divorce case for the last year and I highly recommend her. Her honesty is something I truly appreciated. She was always on top of everything and very quick to respond to any and all my questions. Ann-Louise was prepared for every court visit and always had myself and children’s best interests at heart. Anything that’s court related for your children is never easy, however I felt in control with her by my side. Thank you again for all that you did for my family.

My experience with the Anne Louise Depalo Law Firm has been in the realm of two real estate closings, but from my interaction with Anne Louise and her staff, I know that their professionalism, diligence, and most importantly, expertise, extend far beyond real estate. The staff is caring and attentive and went to great lengths to ensure my satisfaction. I would only recommend the Anne Louise Depalo Law Firm to anyone who is looking for guidance and counsel in family law.

Divorce is a challenging experience: emotionally, physically and lest we forget, financially. The collaborative method is the easiest and an economical way to settle a divorce. The splitting of assets becomes fact based and sets aside the emotions. If both parties can agree then I highly recommend the collaborative method. Anne-Louise and her team were attentive and made this process as smooth as possible for this first timer.

Anne-Louise Depalo and her team paid attention whenever I needed anything and went out of their way to take care of me. Their professionalism and knowledge of family law saved me.

A divorce was something I wanted to avoid but since I couldn’t the DePalo law firm made a very difficult part of my life a little bit easier. Whenever I had a question via phone or e-mail it was always handled promptly and respectfully. I researched a lot of law firms before making my decision and I feel not only did I made the correct choice but I made the only choice.

Much appreciation! Carmine Castellano
