Law Offices of Maurice Verrillo, P.C.

Based on my personal experience litigating against Maurice Verrillo and his firm, I would not recommend them. I have represented myself against this firm in multiple matters, including family-court proceedings and an ongoing civil case. My experience has been repeated delay, unnecessary motion practice, shifting positions, and litigation tactics that, in my opinion, increase the time and expense of cases rather than bringing them efficiently to a resolution. In my civil case, I have challenged the authenticity, provenance, and composition of documents being relied upon by his client. Those issues are now part of the court record. I have also had to repeatedly pursue discovery and evidence that I believe should have been addressed much earlier. My experience in family court was similar. I ultimately chose to represent myself, and doing so was one of the best litigation decisions I made. I was able to obtain meaningful custody and parenting rights without continuing to pay an attorney to fight battles that seemed to generate more litigation rather than solutions. Anyone considering hiring this firm should understand that aggressive litigation can become extremely expensive, particularly when a case turns into years of motions, delays, discovery disputes, and repeated court appearances. Advice that sounds aggressive or effective at the beginning can have very different consequences once the opposing party starts building a detailed evidentiary record. I also strongly disagreed with the tactics used against me as a father. I believed accusations and institutional processes were being used strategically rather than to resolve the actual issues. I fought those allegations, including proceedings involving CPS, and continued representing myself. What stands out most to me is this: representing myself against Verrillo has cost me far less than hiring counsel to participate in the same cycle, and it has forced me to learn the record, the evidence, and the law myself. Read the other reviews carefully. If a case lasts years, ask why. Ask what the litigation strategy will cost from beginning to end. Ask whether each motion actually moves the case toward resolution. Ask what evidence supports the allegations being made. Based on what I have personally experienced, I would save my money and look elsewhere.

I have been represented by Maurice Verrillo and his law firm for the past 6 years now. We have had a very involved and very lengthy family court case. Maurice helped me get placement of my child which in New York State is a very hard accomplishment to achieve. Through early mornings, late nights, and hours of hard work and dedication to me and my case we were able to achieve what seemed to be the unachievable. Maurice is a fantastic lawyer who understands the inner workings of law to an unprecedented degree. I have had many different lawyers in my lifetime and none of them compare to Maurice. From his compassion to practicing law, his moral compass, his belief in faith and overall just being an amazing family oriented compassionate human being. The interactions I’ve had with the office staff and the work they do behind the scenes has been tremendous. You call, email or reach out and someone’s always there to answer your questions and concerns in a timely and professional manner. I know that whenever I have a question, need help, or just need someone in my corner the law office of Maurice Verrillo will have my back and my best interests at the forefront of their agenda. The cost of doing business is fair for the degree of representation you receive. Worth every penny! Thank you to everyone at the law office of Maurice Verrillo for everything you have done for me and my family and cheers to the continued relationship we have formed over the past 6 years!!!

I found my initial consultation to be not a good experience. He was rude and condescending superior acting avoid seriously you don’t need that behavior especially when you’re about to potentially give over valuable money to him to help you. It just doesn’t work that way. I have no idea why people have to be so miserable today wow.

He is a very knowledgeable and competent attorney with years of experience and genuine compassion. He has a high moral standard that drives him to fight for truth and your cause. He was with me every step of the way and encouraged me through a very difficult and grueling case. He is very wise, trauma informed, and professional. If you are looking for an attorney that will fight beside you, look no further, Mr. Verillo is the attorney you need.

Please do yourself a favor a find a different law firm to represent you. This place has more hidden fees than Verizon Wireless. My matter was resolved in the summer but yet I still receive bills every other month with a different fee. Nice guy but complete waste of money.
