Law Office of Dennis R. Vetrano, Jr., LLC

When I first met Kristen I was at the end of my rope. I had spent 29 years of my life loving my husband, advocating for my children, and lost the best of who I am. I was losing hope. Kristen is exactly what I needed. She communicates clearly and thoroughly. She gave me tangible directions and concrete actions. She is a fierce advocate. I was heard, validated, and respected. She encouraged me to be who I really am.

Kristen Farris and her assistant Erica were very efficient in getting things done.i was given the knowledge to make the best choice to succeed in my divorce.highly recommend this law office

I literally cannot thank Kristen Farris enough for the way she represented me in court. She has a tenacious personality in court, and will not settle for an outcome less than her expected goal. It was a great feeling to finally have an attorney defending my rights effectively. I was very proud to have her represent me in court. You can tell the vast experience she has in court by the tone of respect directed at her by the judge and the opposing attorney. Kristen is well respected in the courtroom.
Together with her fantastic paralegal team, Stacy, Andrea, and Erika, they will go above and beyond conducting investigative research, and keeping you well informed through phone calls, and emails. Their legal knowledge is very extensive, and impressive.
Because of the positive outcome of my court case, this will be a life changing event for me!
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

Unfortunately some of the hardest times in our lives we need an attorney to help guide us through such emotional and uncertain and scary period. Choosing the best attorney can take away some of the fear and anxiety Dennis and his absolutely amazing team have held my hand and calmed my nerves on more than one occasion Stacey is always on the other end of the phone to reassure me that it is a process and it will be ok. I have found such comfort in Dennis his knowledge and strong confidence that he and his team have it all under control allows me to focus on my self and my children while they handle my case. I highly recommend this firm!

I am so grateful for the wonderful team that assisted me through one of the most difficult times of my life. The guidance and knowledge they provided was immeasurable.

Horrific law firm. Run away and use someone else or stay in your loveless and worthless marriage rather than using this company. A simple uncontested divorce is left in your hands to manage and negotiate. Constantly have to call them for updates. Leave messages and they never call you back. They charge you for calling out their grammatical errors on documents or when they are making other mistakes you identify. They give you a timeline for completing something then berate you when you’re following up with them after they have missed that timeline by weeks, not just days. Refuses to keep opposing counsel apprised of status. The excuse is that there is always some other case’s pressing issue so it’s more important then you. They sell you a bill of goods about a team to offset the assignment of legal costs. There is no reason an uncontested divorce should cost someone over a year of their life and $20K. Shame on them as a company.

I went through a custody trial and hired Christal Prinz to represent me. Christal was professional, knowledgeable, and passionate. Hilary is her paralegal and is truly remarkable to work with as well. My trial was settled, and I received the exact outcome I wished for and more. This law firm has excellent talent. I would recommend them to anyone going through a complex case such as I was.

I am so happy to have had Kristen to represent me during my recent divorce. She went above above and beyond with her support and expertise in the matter. Although the journey of dealing with my divorce itself had its stressful times, Kristen helped me to stay strong and weather the storm. I also really appreciated the professional and courteous efforts from Kristen’s legal team. I am also thankful for Erika who was of great help and continued to maintain communication throughout the divorce. Thank You Again!

After going through several years of a very frustrating and prolonged litigation process with the family support court in my area, I decided to retain and hire the amazing legal services of Dennis Vetrano and the rest of his amazing legal team.

From the beginning the legal team at this law firm displayed a very high level of interest, tenaciousness (Especially Cassidy and Dennis), professionalism, and legal expertise. Without a doubt retaining Dennis's firm was one of the best decisions I could have made as the truth and the documents was finally bought to light, and because of their hard work and determination, I was able to obtain a VERY FAVORABLE outcome. I will without a doubt, continue to retain this firm's legal services if needed again in the future.

I recommend Kristen Ferris for her professionalism and responsiveness to my unique case as a diplomat. Ms. Ferris and her team were in constant communication with me and made sure that they adequately reached my case and applied the appropriate strategy that would result in a successful out come.
For excellent quality representation when it comes to retaining an attorney that understands New York Family Court Laws and parameters, contact Ms. Kristen Ferris for peace of mind and good value for money.

Awful experience working with the firm, very poor communication especially around billing - very inaccurate and disorganized invoices. They did very poorly representing me but even worse is firing them - some 2 months after clearly stating that I don't want to work with them anymore they refuse to drop the case and keep charging me (some $3k-$4k AFTER I fired them, I believe they exceed the retainer by now, they also insist on doing an unnecessary court hearing just to end our relationship). If you have extra money and time to waste I guess go and hire them, otherwise perhaps any other lawyer would be better. Started the process of filing a claim against them, I'll update the review when it's processed.

My case was an odd one it took 2 years, but I was never charged extra for all the work that was done for me to receive my end of settlement. I would recommend to contact Mr. Vetrano's office if you want fair and sympathetic approach. The staff are friendly and humane. Please do not waste time going to other divorce lawyers! Just go to them and relax. I cannot thank them enough for all that was done for me and kids.

I will recommend Kristen Ferris to any of my brothers and sisters in the Armed Forces dealing with New York Family Law related matters. As soon as I retained her for representation, she quickly took control of a highly volatile, contested support modification action and ensured that I was treated fairly by the court. Because of her, my ex and I were able to come to an acceptable, mutual agreement due to the fact that Kristen understands New York Family Law and the parameters of appropriate support. She was able to help me while I am serving in a foreign country on the other side of the world. Her paralegal team is also excellent and responsive. Ms. Ferris is an absolutely outstanding attorney and I will definitely retain her services again for future issues.

Worse firm ive ever dealt with. Hire for a simple uncontested divorce. Neither the other party or myself wanted anything other then to sign the papers and be done with our marriage. Paid my retainer in full and was told this is all its going to be as the other party said they were paying for the divorce in writing. Hired this firm to make sure I am not getting screwed and that the paperwork was good to go. Got multiple emails saying I have an outstanding balance for writing the divorce papers which is not what they were hired for. No phone calls ever returned. No answers on the bill until I sent over 10 emails about the bill and the last one was to contact the BAR Association which they finally responded telling me they will correct the bill and resume the divorce process. Ive been dealing with lawyers for unrelated family court matters and this firm makes a terrible old lawyer I had look decent even after he was dis barred.

I retained Mr. Vetrano's law firm in 2017 to assist me in a post-divorce judgement of property distribution which my ex-wife refuses to part with.

I was assigned Kristen Farris as my attorney.

Mid-way through my case, my ex-wife decided to sue me for unpaid medical bills she claimed I failed to pay.

So, I retain Kristen for this case, as well. Two cases. Two retainers. She told me she had a case similar to mine and she got it dismissed. I took that as a good sign, but was skeptical nonetheless.

My ex-wife wanted $15k from me. At trial (this is my fourth trial with her), I made a last-minute offer to settle the case. Far lower than her asking, but reasonable.

She refused. She wanted to testify and she wanted me in jail.

On the stand, her testimony was flawed, unbelievable, and she was argumentative. Kristen objected to every piece of evidence and got most of it dismissed.

She is a really effective trial attorney.

We took numerous breaks throughout the day. Each break, my offer went down as her chances of winning went down (Deal or No Deal?). I finally offered her a grand to go away.

No deal. She wanted me in jail.

By end of day, the judge had enough. Between the bad evidence and an argumentative witness, she dismissed the case entirely.

This was a huge win as this case was primarily brought to force my hand on the property case. It completely took the wind out of her sails and I only have Kristen to thank for it.

Now we're back to the original case. I have a renewed confidence that Kristen will secure a win for me again.

So, if you want a lawyer who's going to take your case, your money, never get back to you or keep you informed, only to have you lose, then hire another firm.

If you want to hire a winner, then call this office and ask for Kristen. You won't be sorry.

Oh, she has a hard-working team of assistants who'll give you the same dedication too. Shout out to Stacy and Erika!

Kristen Farris, you rock! Your advise and expertise helped me get through a person matter with ease and comfort. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I would like to say that I had an incredible experience regarding my dealings with Stacy Manes!
Stacy was professional and very personable. I was also impressed with her attention to detail and comprehension of law.
I will reccomend the Law Office of Dennis R. Vetrano, Jr.to anyone that may need their services.

Kristen Farris and all of the wonderful people at the Law Office of Dennis R. Vetrano, Jr.were absolutely amazing. They worked with me through trying times and difficult circumstances. Their compassion, knowledge and fortitude always reassured me that not only did I have a great lawyer in Kristen Farris to fight for me, but that there was an entire team backing her up as well. I am so grateful for all of the hard work and dedication of the entire firm. I would recommend this firm, and Kristen specifically, to anyone finding themselves in the difficult position of filing for divorce or fighting for custody. They will do their best on your behalf.

From the jump, I should've gotten a lawyer closer to me. Going out to beacon was my 1st mistake. 2nd mistake was trusting my lawyer hole heartedly.
The firm said that they were placing calls to my phone#, I received no such calls. I missed 2court sessions, and I had no idea what, how, or why.
The lawyer was fairly new, I can tell he wasn't that much hands on.
Especially since I had no clue, I've never been to court in such a magnitude as divorce.
They used up all my retainers, and then called me difficult and no communication, that our relationship was broken down.
WOW! They priority mailed me documents submitted to the court to be released.
They didn't do anything on my case, even the judge was wondering why nothing was done.
Anyway The judge told me that I needed a new lawyer, which was was extremely difficult due to the fact that Vetrano cleaned me out.
I had to borrow money from someone who loans money now I'm Close to my home, I have a new lawyer. He got more done in 3 visits, than D. V.did in the months that they represented me.
What a costly mistake I can't believe that I spent so much money for absolutely nothing in return.
DO YOUR HOMEWORK PEOPLE, NEVER USE AN ATTORNEY FAR FROM YOUR HOME. MAKE SURE YOUR LAWYER IS UP TO THE TASK AND THAT HIS FIELD OF EXPERIENCE IS WHAT YOU NEED. OH, IF THEY DONT CALL YOU, PLEASE CALL THEM AND GET ALL THE INFORMATION THAT YOU CAN AND AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN. They charge for everything
MY STUPIDITY, YOU CAN'T EVEN BUY TRUST THESE DAYS!
Hey they are probably good at other aspects of the law, or D. V.is good at divorce. The lawyer that he assigned to me was to young and divorce wasn't his strong suit.
