Yvonne M Rizzo, Esq. APC

This is a long overdue review! Ms Rizzo is excellent. She's very reasonable and always has her clients best interest in mind. Going through family court is stressful enough as it is and Ms Rizzo made this easy for me. She is well organized and on top of her game! She really knows how to take a heated situation and calm it down. She fights hard for you. Meeting and working with Yvonne was the biggest blessing to me in a time of need. She is so easy to talk to, answers her phone and always calls back quickly. Thats hard to find in todays world.. Shes the most compationate attorney around. Shes fierce in a courtroom and really knows the ins and outs of her practice. Talking to her about your case is easy. She listens extremely well and is the most patient attorney I've ever worked with. I would recommend her to anyone who wants an honest, hard working attorney on your side. Ms Rizzo is the best you will find.

I highly recommend Yvonne Rizzo Family Law Attorney to anyone not being treated fairly in the courtroom and in need of Legal Representation. I have been going through family law for a year now with 9 months of no legal representation. Eventhough I was no threat to my child and the mother is an alcoholic with prior DUI's just got arrested for a DUI, the court granted her full sole and physical custody and for me 10% visitation with 0% sole legal or physical custody. For the first 9 months I was constantly getting mistreated in the courtroom eventhough there were hard evidence of proof and proof of lies against the opposing party due to a bias judge. Out of the 9 months the mother of my child withheld my daughter from me for 5 months. During the 5 months I filed 3 ex-parte hearings due to visitation violation of court orders and safety concerns with proof and still got dismissed, 1 hearing was cancelled and not even heard by the judge stating it's " Not an emergency". Since i hired Atty. Rizzo, not only was I able to be heard without being turned away but she was able to get me visitations with my daughter again after 5 months but with more time and days with overnights too. I now have 35% visitation with 4-5 days every week with my daughter and looks to get better from here on. Thank you Mrs. Rizzo.

BEST ATTORNEY . I had a very difficult case, where no matter who I hired my voice was not being heard. I would go months with out seeing my daughter, due to false allegations or just because mom wanted it that way. She is the only attorney that I had, that has truly put not just my needs, but my family's needs first. She has an outstanding work ethic, professionalism, and is courteous. To show the broadness of her expertise, just the tip of the iceberg, my case involved CWS, child abuse allegations, child sexual abuse allegations, SART exams, forensic interviews, minor’s council, legal/custody battle, attorney fess, child support, and court assigned child’s therapist. All in which she guided and advised me in. Before Yvonne, I was lost, confused and ready to give up. I had been battling my daughter’s mom since 2013 over the same issues, in pro per and represented, but to no avail. The truth was not coming to light. Yvonne's ability to maintain constant communication and follow up whenever I had any questions lets me know that she values her client’s well-being as she understands the stress we go through. Without her council, I know I still would not see my daughter consistently, if not at all, but more importantly my daughter’s well being and needs would not have been met. She understands this is not just a case, but her client's life that she fights for. Having Yvonne represent me was the best thing that has not only happen to me, but probably the best thing that has happened for my 5 year old daughter. Now she can finally be a kid and enjoy herself. Be the five year old she deserves to be without the chaos, unstableness, and loyalty conflicts. She finally has a safe place to grow and thrive with both parents being as involved as they can, and more importantly with keeping my daughter's psychological, emotional, and physical needs met. Yvonne made my voice heard in an environment where I was mute and beaten down to be portrayed as a perpetrator. She gave me guidance when I was lost, and more importantly, she gave me hope.

Yvonne Rizzo is always available to talk to about my case. She maintains the highest level of professionalism and cares deeply about her clients. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a family law attorney.

She is an awesome Father Advocate lawyer. Hard working very dedicated and honest Attorney.
