Do not hire Sclafani for no criminal charges. He took my money 4k and left me just the same as someone who just paid $150, for a court appointed Lawyer. Horrible experience back in 2008.

I wish I could give this place (or at least my lawyer) no stars. She doesn’t deserve even one.
So, I met with her initially before putting any money down and she was super nice, friendly- yet the type of woman you want in court fighting for you-the total package. So I signed the paperwork and came in for my follow-up meeting to a rude, mean woman. Not the friendly “total package” lady I’d met initially. She was a bully and even had me in tears at points. She made me feel so beneath her. She later (at our last appointment)even SMILED the entire time while telling me these horrible things that were going to happen to me (over a simple misunderstanding between her and I). I’ll never forget her huge grin, as if she were somehow finding immense joy in my pain.
So after putting my hefty retainer down on her, a month or 2 later, she wanted MORE, or said she would have to resign from my case. I couldn’t afford anymore. And we hadn’t even gone to court yet or even set a court date. So she resigned from my case and took the rest of my retainer ($400+) to legally do so.
If she had simply waited 2 weeks instead of jumping ship, I would’ve had a lawyer by my side at our hearing. Instead I stood alone and terrified. Thankfully my now ex husbands lawyer was GREAT. And, I might add, had a much lower retainer, to which he never had to add more to.

If I could’ve gone back in time, I would’ve NEVER even agreed to see her. She showed me her true colors that last meeting: someone who was smart enough to become a lawyer but had no sympathy or heart for those she would be defending. Only wanted the money.

If anyone asks me for a recommendation for a good lawyer-I will start by telling them NEVER to call/write/email/visit, etc this place (or at least Diana). Even my worst enemy I wouldn’t refer here,..... well, ok maybe I would.

I looked for a while to find the right attorney for me and my situation, Choosing to hire Tanya was the best choice I could have made! She was so sweet, and she fought for me like she was family, she was charming with a take no silly business attitude, and her knowledge alone about her craft is commendable! Her name will always be the first to refer to any person looking for an all around amazing experience!

I cannot even begin to describe how grateful I am for the hard work and expertise that Attorney Moriarty put in for me. This lawyer handled a very emotional family law matter with precision and professionalism. I would recommend her and her staff without reservation, what an excellent team.

Best service in Springfield areas

From start to finish it was a pleasure working with Attorney Moriarty and her assistant Erica. We went to them with an uncommon situation that required a bit a research and it was handled famously. They always made us feel like we were the only case they were handling at that time. Our questions and concerns were always answered in a timely manner. Their hard work and dedication got us the results we were looking for and we highly recommend them.

Moriarty took my case and changed my life. I was able to leave my abusive husband! Thank you Tanya for helping me so much!

Attorney Moriarty ultimately lost my custody battle, as I have spoken with other lawyers since the end of our trial I have come to understand that there was a serious miscarriage of justice and it was done in large part to having an attorney who did not properly prepare. My family is being torn apart because of a lack of preparation and best interest. I was so fooled into thinking she had my son’s and my best interest at heart I even let go of a restraining order against our abuser on her recommendation. To be fair she may be great in other aspects of being a lawyer but not with regard to custody.
I do have to mention her paralegal, she was wonderful. Very helpful and talked me through so many very hard spots of this case. I wonder though if she is so great at her job because Attorney Moriarty is lacking in proper guidance. All I can say is please do your homework before getting a lawyer, I was desperate and saw mine as a life raft and that isn’t what they are.
I want to be clear that there is no ill will on my end only a hope that she do better with her next client. She devistated my family but my best defense to that is continued fighting for what is right and just for my son.

I was referred to Atty Tanya Moriarty from a friend during a very difficult time in my life. Atty Moriarty was very professional when addressing my questions and concerns, even if she knew I was not going to like the answers. Her first concern was always my children! She always gave me options and would question my answers if she felt I was not thinking everything through. Attorney Moriarty's assistant was very helpful as well. She would respond to a call or email within a reasonable amount of time. I have and will continue to refer Tanya Moriarty because I am confident they will be in good hands!

Divorce is one painful process but I was very fortunate to have Diane Velez-Harris on my side! Her empathy, fairness and dedication made me feel confident that I was going to be OK. She always answered my questions in a timely manner something that I really appreciate. I highly recommend her!!

I used Attorney Moriarty for my case. I was very comfortable with her decisions throughout the whole process. Great choice!!
I also use Attorney Johnson for my Real estate transactions. Another good choice. Perfect office for multiple needs.

I began working with Attorney Moriarty in December of 2012. She came highly recommended and did not disappoint. Atty. Moriarty is knowledgeable and aggressive, a staunch advocate for spousal and children's rights. She warned me at the start of our odyssey that the road would be long and that I should be patient with the process. Atty. Moriarty will not sugar-coat a situation, nor offer placating words, but she WILL relentlessly work for her clients and their loved ones. Over five years later, I still rely on Atty. Moriarty and her assistant Erica. Dedicated, professional, experienced !!
I also had reason to use Attorney Sclafani recently. Working with this well-versed, skillful bankruptcy expert and his highly proficient assistant Sharon, I was able to remove a huge stressor in my life relatively quickly. I simply can not recommend this entire firm more highly!

I have had the privelage of working with Attorneys Moriarty and Scalfani as well as their wonderful assistants Erica and Sharon. Generally speaking , situations in our lives that involve having an attorney are stressful and hectic. I can’t tell you how much more stressful and hectic my life would be if it wasn’t for everyone at Johnson Scalfani and Moriarty. I have always felt like they truly had my best interests at heart and I can never thank them enough for all of their dedication and compassion over the past 5 years. If you’re looking for the best , you just found it!

Diana S. Velez Harris has not only been my attorney for the last 8 years but during my divorce, Diana was truly a friend as well. I would recommend Diana to anyone and everyone. I would spend the time speaking with any of Diana’s potential clients to understand how great of an attorney and person Diana is. Truly amazing!

You have stumbled upon Western Massachusetts BEST attorney. Make Attorney Moriarty your first choice and feel confident in your decision. She is professional, thorough, organized and prepared. She, along with her assistant Erica, made communication easy and we never felt forgotten or alone. They were there for us every step of the way.

In and out of court we were able to trust that Attorney Moriarty was working hard to assure the best possible outcome for our family. Thank you for bringing peace to an unimaginably difficult time in our lives. We couldn't have been happier with the outcome of our case.

Diana Velez Harris is very dedicated to her field and clients. She goes above and beyond to help them.

Attorney Moriarty handled my Divorce proceedings with professionalism, dignity and respect. I highly recommend her ! There were some really tough decisions to make during the process, and her guidance was firm and direct and compassionate all at the same time. I am so grateful to have had her representing me. I have referred friends and coworkers to her, and they have all been very pleased with the results she achieves. Deborah Lambert

I have used Diana Velez Harris from Johnson, Sclafani & Moriarty. She is always very prompt with addressing any needs for my case. Always giving me the best and most sensible advice. She responds to any concerns that I may have very promptly whether by phone or email. I have recommended her and this office to a few friends because of the excellent legal advice!!

Decision making through divorce was highly charged and challenging. Attorney Velez Harris provided much needed guidance, sound expertise, and insight that ultimately eased the process and secured a equitable outcome for my family. From start to finish my experience with the office was handled with decency and dignity. I have connected others with the office for services and in all case there was just as positive an outcome. Would highly recommend.

Attorney Moriarty went above and beyond for my family! I would give her and Erica more stars if I could. They were always there to answer any questions and let my know what was going on. Even months after my case they stepped in to help when they had no obligation to! 100% best Attorney around!

Tanya Moriarty was a true blessing to our family. I scoured all over the internet and called family and friend just to find a good family court attorney. She was the one who called back, and I thank god for her and Erica. Erica was always available to answer any questions my daughter had and made her feel very comfortable and right at home. Miss Moriarty is a confident women who knows her job every well and she exceeds anyone's expectations. She is firm but fair and informs you of all your options. Working with her makes you feel like home..She represented my daughter in court. It all worked out in our favor..She was a beast in the courtroom. If you are a person who loves your kids with all you heart and you are in need of an exceptional attorney, Tanya Moriarty is your Wonder Woman.

Attorney Sclafani is great to work with out any doubt. well worth every penny and I would certainly recommend him to friends and family, very kind and he works hard for YOU.

I have used Attorney Sclafani on three separate occasions and I think he is a smart and well prepared lawyer. He knows the law and what it takes to achieve the desired results. He has never let me down. I would not hesitate to call him for any legal situation that I had. I'm very happy with his work.

Attorney Moriarty is very nice, easy to talk to & down to earth. Her assistant Erica is amazing. Always a pleasant experience even though dealing with an unpleasant subject.

Recently hired attorney Sclafani, very short notice, for a matter our court appointed attorney has allowed to drag on since Nov of 2018. The issue should've been dismissed & for some reason the courts seemed out to make an example out of my fiance. Attorney Sclafani was awesome!!! Just like attorney Moriarty, very easy to talk to. Had court this am, court appointed attorney didn't even realize we were to be seen today, attorney Sclafani was able to get everything dismissed!!!! Very, very pleased. Can not thank him enough!!!

Whether it was in her office or in the courtroom, I was able to put my complete trust in Attorney Moriarty knowing she was working hard to assure the best possible outcome for me. Thank you both for making this difficult time in in my life much easier to bear. I am extremely happy with the outcome of my case and look forward to keeping in touch.

Chris Johnson is an outstanding Attorney. I would use him as my Attorney again and again should the need arose. He really knows the law.

They do not call you back when they say they will called them 3 times and they still didn't call back and when I finally got ahold of them didn't even remember who I was or my case
