Client Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I appreciate the service provided by Mr. Charles Rifici. It was a very traumatic experience I was going through, but I always felt I was in the hands of a competent, caring attorney. Years ago, I had gone through a difficult divorce with an unprofessional attorney, and I was afraid to have this horrible experience repeated.
Although this situation was not very complicated nor very profitable for the law firm, Charles handled it as a priority. Papers were filed expeditiously, and it resulted in a satisfactory conclusion. The fee was fair, and the time spent was well documented. Naturally, I hope to never have to go through this again, but if I did, I would turn to Charles.
I also found his paralegal, Emma Florin, to be very helpful and responsive. I was always kept in the loop by Emma as to meetings, requests, and statement activity. She is very detail oriented. There were no surprises.

Having been a recent resident to the area, I needed legal representatives on a family matter. I found a local law firm by browsing through the internet and I am glad I did.
After a consultation, I was transferred to the team of Charles Rifici and Emma Florin. What a pleasant surprise to find a team of experts who handled all proceedings with ease and expertise. While I anticipated anxiety and stress going through a divorce, I didn’t experience any of it as these two professionals handled everything with ease and efficiency. They kept me informed of every part of the process and left me feeling very comfortable and confident. I would highly recommend this firm for legal advice and handling of your situation.

Mr. Charles Rifici and Ms. Emma Florin have supported me in a divorce procedure. Their expertise and the way difficult legal procedures were explained understandably, was at a very high professional level. What was even more important, was their availability if needed via email or phone. Most importantly in my experience with Charles and Emma was their empathy, they cared about me personally and were very sensitive for my emotions, especially when decisions had to be taken. Throughout the whole procedure I felt confident that I got the best possible legal and personal support, which is very comforting when one deals with a divorce. The procedure worked out positively, and I have a way forward thanks to Charles’ and Emma’s support!

Kind and Helpful : Charles was very kind and helpful during an extremely stressful time. Divorce is not easy but Charles and Emma both took their time and had a lot of patience with me and all of my questions. They kept me calm when I wanted to scream. Hopefully I will never need their services again but they would be my first call should I find myself in a situation needing an attorney. Thank you.

Supportive, dedicated and results – driven family attorney : I initially found Mr. Rifici while having to navigate a very difficult custody issue for our family. Mr. Rifici has always been thoughtful, patient, and thorough in how he navigated our case through the family court system. His deep knowledge in family law and expertise came through and our family can’t thank him and his paralegal enough. Alongside him, his paralegal is as professional and dedicated as he is, so you get a powerhouse support team by your side. He always took the time to listen. I never felt rushed or dismissed. He saved us money in the long term, educated us on our legal rights, and ultimately gave our family peace of mind, which is honestly priceless. Fast forward years later, I still come to him for legal assistance with custody situations, and every time it is a great experience. What could have been become a volatile and expensive family situation, didn’t, and I really feel Mr. Rifici had a lot to do with it given his sensible and logical approach. For about 8 years now he is our family attorney for all things family law.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A wonderful practice that has always had my best interests in mind. Previous to them I had a horrible experience with a well known big name practice that ate my retainer for a minimal amount of services. I had a wonderful experience working with Charles Rifici on a difficult divorce/child custody issue. I am so grateful for all the work and guidance he provided. He always took his time and diligently went through all my options with me so I could make the decisions that benefitted my family and I. I will be forever thankful for the top notch services he provided.
