Law Office of John E Carelli

We hired John to represent my mother-​in-​law in her divorce. He came recommended through a local business networking group so we trusted he would take of us. However, that was NOT the case. I am appalled at the unethical and unprofessional treatment we have received.
John had assured us that everything was being taken care of and that paperwork was being filed. Come to find out he has not filed ANY paperwork regarding the divorce and it has now entered default and my MIL (who is a senior citizen) is now at risk of losing her retirement. We have tried everything we can do to get a hold of him (calls, emails and letters) and yet we have heard no response. We tried to be understanding and to give him the benefit of doubt, but there is no excuse for his lack of filing papers when he said he would or for not communicating with us. We trusted him with our mother’s situation and what should have been a straightforward process now complicated and stressful due to his negligence.
If you are looking for a good lawyer, DO NOT use John. Find someone that has the time and compassion to communicate with you and that will act on your behalf.

Mr. Carelli really stepped up and helped me in a situation that he didn’t have to do for free. Since my issue was out of state his hands were tied as to showing up in court and representing me. Using his resources, he researched information and gave me the options he thought were legally applicable on the spot. If i ever need legal assistance in the future I will definitely be going back to his office. Thanks John!.. 5 stars

Utterly useless firm.
Wow. I thought he was just a jerk, I had no idea he was one of them, a dirty ex cop only looking out for his buddies. If you are trying to divorce anyone in law enforcement DO NOT USE THIS GUY!!! HE WILL WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY. HE ONLY PROTECTS HIS OWN. So, if you’re abusive to your spouse and you want to take everything, just make sure you’re law enforcement or military, and this is your guy!

John Really knows what he is doing when it comes to Family Law. He is very reasonable with his prices. Im so thankful to have an attorney that I can trust that has my best interest at hand.

John is a wonderful caring individual, and how many times do you hear that about a lawyer. John has helped me many times and I have always been pleased with his correspondence and the results. If you’re looking for a good lawyer look no further!

John has represented me during custody issues with my son. I’ve had the opportunity to witness him both in and out of the courtroom. I’ve worked with several attorneys and John is hands down the best at what he does. He’s the consummate professional while, at the same time he is a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom. His unflappable demeanor and background in law enforcement has allowed him to think quickly on his feet.
He is an attorney who cares about people more than money and is truly emotionally invested in the outcome of his cases. I felt very strongly that he cared about the outcome of our situation as much as I did, and I felt that I had not only my lawyer but a friend beside me in the courtroom.
Family law can be an emotional and trying journey. Do yourself a favor and hire an attorney who will put your mind at ease and fight for the right outcome for you and your children.

Upon speaking to him-​I knew he was good at what he does –very positive-​best of all reasonable priced-​we spoke a few mins. I decided to go w him – I am very educated w lawyers– been dealing w them all my life-​besides I see him being a ex cop-​also a local around the court house-​helps –He’s the one/​good luck
