Phil Castrovinci was incompetent and under prepared for my trial.Not only did it cost me $30,000 for the same result if I had represented myself,I was forced to pay the OPPOSING lawyer $7,500 due to Phil’s negligence.The Judge wrote us saying,I had to pay opposing lawyer's fees because we failed to file a Statement Of Net Worth, as Phil failed to do so.
Not only was I refused custody of my 14 year old son, who was begging to live with me, I was somehow forced to pay over $10,000 in ‘retro’ child support when I had paid, in full and on time, what I was required to by law up until the trial. I watched my ex and her lawyer commit perjury. I had, in my hands, proof they were lying and Phil’s response was, “It doesn’t matter”. You’d think someone who just got annihilated in court would want to present evidence of perjury.
Hire at your own risk. You’ll quickly see his only concern is getting paid.
Also on another site their family members have left 5 star reviews. Don’t trust!!!

I have had Phil and his staff help me with custody and child support issues since my son was three months old and he is now sixteen years old. I have had nothing but positive and amazing experiences with Phil himself as well as his staff. I don't think that I could have gotten through some of this drama and trauma without his help. I think that last week all of this wrapped up once and for all. The outcome was far better than I had ever dared hope for. I actually said to Phil that once again he had performed a miracle for myself and my son. To use anyone but Castrovinci and Mady for something as important and life changing as what they do is just foolish. Can't recommend them enough!!!!

Reputation vs. Reality. I was NOT impressed with him or his staff. Calls were not returned and papers (EVIDENCE) went missing. Watch your bills, too!! Very creative billing practices. He's the type of guy who gives good lawyers a BAD name. Run.. don't walk.

What can I say. When my wife tried to push me to the curb this man secured me 50/50 custody of my daughter and changed my life for the better. His knowledgebase and experience are unsurpassed. This not one of those times to price shop. Hire the best. I'll forever be greatful.

I hired Castrovinci and Mady to handle not one, but two cases. At first everyone seemed competent, but BEWARE!! Every single complaint written here has also been my experience. They are the gang who can't shoot straight - something as SIMPLE as a mailing address is a stretch for this office. Important notices and Time Sensitive documentation were either NOT sent or sent to the wrong address; questions were not answered, calls were not returned, appointments were routinely broken or rescheduled. They are rude, acting as if YOU WORK FOR THEM !!! Needless to say, they mucked-up both cases, trying to cover their tracks. When I realized this, I was'fired" leaving me over 17K in debt and without a lawyer the day before a deposition !!! When I finally got my files back, I learned the scope of their incompetence: I discovered missing evidence, and dozens of MUST HAVE notices and decisions never sent. Let us not forget there 'creative accounting' RUN !!!!

This attorney is totally not worth the money nor the time to handle any case. He does not return any phone calls, no matter how imperative it is the matter of which you need to speak to him, he doesn't return any emails either. His staff constantly shields his phone calls, say they will give him the message and you never hear from them or him again and then they give you an attitude when you call back asking that you need to talk to him about your case. He is always more for the opposing side to make his job easier and gives everything and anything to the opposing attorney so that he doesn't have to fight making his job easier. He likes berating and belittling his clients (favorite derrogatory term -****) totally inappropriate,and intimidating you into complying with whatever he feels you should accept even though it might not be in your best interest. He becomes arrogant and pompous and members of his own staff and other clients advised me not trust this attorney. Should have liste

His communication skills are very porr. He was constantly berating me and finally he dropped my case in the middle of the proceedings.He was almost impossible to reach when I wanted to discuss the case with him.
