Just wanted to thank Mr. Simonetti and his staff for the great service he provided me in a difficult time. My case was handled swiftly with a very favorable outcome that I was very pleased with. Mr. Simonetti office returned all my concerns (and I had a bunch of questions) promptly as promised and his fees were more than fair and for that Mr. Simonetti I thank you very much.

Had the unfortunate circumstance whereby I needed the services of a quality divorce firm. I initially met with a highly regarded Manhattan firm. There I ended up being "handled" by a series of junior associates that billed at senior level Manhattan rates yet provided basic service. I was referred to Simonetti and Associates. I was more than pleasantly surprised with the firms boutique feel, senior level attention, and insight from the principle and his very experienced team. Lou S responded to each and every one of my questions and details as if I were his/their only client. i probably drove him a bit crazy with all of my calls and scenarios - but each and every time he provided great advice and guidance. Although the process of divorce is not one I would recommend, in the end Simonetti and Associates was a trusted advisor and fair partner that helped me navigate these confusing and at times emotional waters. In a word - they were GREAT! I know quite a bit about law firms through my business dealings. Simonetti and Associates is a very strong firm with very specific expertise in this area.

Lou was the best and helped me through my divorce. He is extremely professional, fair and got me an expeditious result. His legal fees, compared to those of the lawyer my wife used , were fair and reasonable (less than half!). All my wife’s attorney cared about was running up the bill, while Lou and his firm were focused on getting my case done quickly and effectively. I was very happy with the results. As a business person, I also appreciate how hard it can be to keep up with phone calls. When I went for the initial consult he told me that he returns every call and he delivered on that promise. During a stressful divorce being able to reach your lawyer really provides a level of comfort. I frequently left him a voicemail on a weekend, fully expecting that he’d call me back on Monday, and I always got a call back within seconds. I actually had an emergency on Christmas morning and got an immediate call. I have already recommended Simonetti and Associates to 2 family members and I will always continue to do so. They are the Best!!!! Thank you Lou!!!!
The qualities I was looking for in an attorney were professionalism and compassion. I wanted someone aggressive, but not a lawyer who was antagonistic. Lou Simonetti has all of these. Simonetti achieved more in 3 months than my previous lawyer did in 2 years! He was fair with billing and always returned my call and emails. I have recommended him to my sister and my boss who are getting divorced.

I would not reccommend this law firm to anyone. Mr. Simonetti overcharged me and did not do what he said he would do .

I can not speak about any but one attorney at this firm. The reviews I read online from different sources led me to hire them, but the guy they gave me was uncommunicative, uninterested, and uninspiring. It was almost like not having any attorney at all. If you get him, it won't take you long to figure that out. The first time he leaves you hanging for two weeks while you wait for him to answer a question about your case, you'll know that that's who you've got. He seems to like to play at being a slick hotshot lawyer, but he doesn't seem to like doing much of anything related to the job. Hire them, don't hire them, but it's at your own risk.

The song Take the money and run is the first thing that comes to mind when I think about this firm. Several thousand dollars, several months and phonecalls and not even a luxury call back. I suggest a 1800 as seen on TV place. P.S. You'll probably need another attorney just to get your money back from these scumbags, and not to mention, the lady who answers the phone is the nastiest, rudest person I've ever dealt with.

Total waste of my time and gasoline. Don't bother conducting ANY business with Simonetti & Assoc. Law firm.in Woodbury NY. Drove all the way there (50 miles round trip) only to have what appeared to be a secretary "help" me. when I said I had a question; they adamantly refused to answer ANY questions. I'm sorry but i'm not signing anything I don't fully understand. Avoid them like the plague.

Simonetti and Associates has an excellent team of lawyers that are caring, compassionate, and work hard to ensure that the divorce process is a smooth one!

As if getting married wasn't stressful enough, the thought of a pre-nup and how it would affect my relationship was added pressure. Mr. Simonetti and his team (Debra) did a extremely good job of helping me navigate the process and even made my fiancee feel comfortable with the final agreement. I thank him and his team for his patience with my situation.

We will continue to spread the word about Simonetti & Associates to anyone looking for a divorce lawyer on Long Island.

My divorce was a very stressful and dark period in my life. Yet working with Mr. Simonetti allowed this to be as easy as it possibly could be. It was difficult to think clearly when I needed to, and Mr. Simonetti helped guide me to make the right decisions when necessary. He was very communicative, being quick to answer emails and phone calls when I was in need of his direction. I don’t think I could have trusted anyone else with this responsibility, but Mr. Simonetti helped make this experience as seamless as possible and I have endless gratitude for all he was able to help me get through.

I initially went to another attorney for my divorce and did not get the results I wished for. When I switched attorneys and came to Mr. Simonetti I realized that I should have come to him in the first place. Finalized my divorce expeditiously, as he and all of the lawyers in the office were very attentive and responsive. Much more professional than any other attorney's office that I have dealt with.

Neglected to submit final divorce papers to the judge for TWO YEARS - would never have submitted them, except for my ex happened to see the papers were missing at the courthouse. Also neglected to update me when the divorce was finally finalized. These people are scum. Stay away.

As a solo attorney, I am often in need of reliable, competent and trustworthy attorneys who handle matters outside my area of expertise. Over the past 25 years, whenever I have had the need for such an attorney, Lou Simonetti and his associates have always been at the ready and have always performed beyond expectations. Over the years, Lou has also rescued many of my family members from precarious legal situations and they, along with any clients I have referred to them, have invariably come back to thank me for having referred them to Simonetti and Associates. They are caring, diligent, experienced and thorough, are always accessible and responsive, and promptly address issues or questions as they arise in a detailed and results oriented manner. Lou is a tough, seasoned attorney, but he is always fair, ethical and reasonable. Having Simonetti and Associates as your attorneys means you can sleep well at night and that you can rest assured that you are getting the best possible legal representation, period!

I just finished my. divorce case. Lou Simonetti was great. His attention to detail, his command of the law, his total understanding of my case, and most importantly the strategy he laid out was perfect. Lou was steadfast in his approach and ensured my interests were always protected. He handled adversity, confrontation, and issues with the utmost of professionalism. On top of his professional skills, he was extremely effective and diligent in communicating with me every step of the way during this journey. He never once left me in the lurch looking for an answer or waiting for him to get back to me. He was very proactive in every aspect. He was also very fair with the billing. I would completely recommend Lou Simonetti and Simonetti & Assoc. to ANYONE seeking an extremely talented, dedicated, professional, and results-driven attorney. Hi is the absolute best!!!!

Lou Simonetti did more to bring my divorce to a conclusion in six months, than my first attorney did in the 3 years before I switched. While Lou remained professional throughout the process, he was appropriately aggressive. He worked hard to bring this situation to a satisfactory conclusion while keeping the costs down. All options were explained thoroughly, keeping me updated at all times. He was also great at returning phone calls and emails. I would strongly recommend Simonetti & Associates without question!!

After interviewing other divorce attorneys, I decided to work with Lou on what I knew was going to be an extremely challenging and emotionally draining divorce. Lou and his partner Charlotte Betts were patient, diligent, thorough, compassionate, and always listened to what I needed them to hear. They provided valuable expertise and guidance which I needed in order to make difficult decisions. They worked hard for me and in the end obtained the best possible settlement. A tireless advocate for his clients, Lou is among the best in his field, with what it takes to get the job done. Additionally, he could not have been more fair with the billing, and even refunded the balance of my retainer at the conclusion of my case. I have recommended Simonetti and Assoc. to my family members.

I feel like a real fool for using these guys. It seemed they did everything possible to drag out my case and evaporate my $4000 retainer. I wanted a simple untested case, they turned it into a contested one. Much money was wasted in shuffling unnecessary paperwork. Communication was awful. Phone calls and emails went unanswered, and to my embarrassment I found myself getting updates on the case from my spouse. They put me through 3 different lawyers - the lead lawyer who did the initial consult, then I was immediately assigned another lawyer, then a third lawyer showed up for me at court. Why I ended up at court I don't even know - interviewing replacement lawyers, it was obvious a 4-way conference should have been done early in the process. Later, I learned that the second lawyer I worked had left the organization at some point, and no one bothered to tell me. This explained why some of my emails and calls went unanswered, but not all. Because of all the unnecessary paperwork, my case consisted of a phone book high stack of papers (about the thickness of a 500 page ream). The icing on the cake was that I had to pick up and delivery this stack to my new lawyer myself. Lessons learned - Interview several lawyers before hiring one, beware of high retainers, educate yourself on the divorce process, insist on good communication, make it a point of trying a get a 4-way conference scheduled early in the process, and hire a different lawyer ASAP if you are unsatisfied with the service you are receiving.

I would NEVER in a MILLION years give my money or my business to a law firm who is SO RUDE!!! The receptionist was so rude and had such an attitude, and when I spoke with Mr. Simmonetti and told him of his Receptionist's rude behavior and attitude, he was just as rude. They treated me as if I was a bother to them.
If you are looking for someone who is compassionate and actually gives a rats ass about your case, then call Wisselman. They have the nicest receptionist and team of lawyers.
