Joseph Marino, saved my home!! While going through a very ugly divorce, my now ex-husband was…read morecourt ordered to pay the mortgage( and keep it current) also he was to pay all the utilities throughout the divorce. Needless to say, my ex did not comply with the judges orders and my home was put into foreclosure. The only chance I had was to apply for a Loan Modification and answer the Foreclosure Summons & Complaint I was served with. I went online and googled some attorneys that specialize in this area and found The Law Offices of Joseph Marino, PC(located in Sayville). I read the reviews from different websites, including AVVO. Joseph's reviews were all great with positive and successful results. Many reviews also complimented not only Mr. Marino's work product but also his kind, down to earth demeanor, and the fact that he was one of the few attorneys that cared more about his clients then getting paid. I decided to retain Joseph Marino and was able to save my home from foreclosure, and was approved for a Loan Modification AND my bank also forgave a portion of my mortgage. I am extremely satisfied with The Law Offices of Joseph Marino. His paralegal Jennifer was extremely helpful throughout the process, she kept me calm and was always up to date on my Loan Mod/Foreclosure Issues. Jennifer and Joseph work together well and I would definitely recommend Joseph to anyone who is looking for an attorney. Since my divorce is now finalized, I will have Joseph take care of my Will and any Estate Planning. My children and I are eternally grateful for Mr. Marino saving our home and I definitely recommend The Law Offices of Joseph Marino, PC. without reservation.

If I could give zero stars, I would. This was by far the worst experience I've ever had with an…read moreattorney. I genuinely question how this individual received a law degree or continues to hold a license to practice law. People told me a long time ago to drop him as my attorney, and I should have listened. I tried giving him multiple chances, hoping things would improve, but they only got worse. In terms of professionalism, communication, and handling a retainer, this was an absolute disaster. This attorney would yell at clients, curse during conversations, and constantly pressure clients to agree with the opposition instead of actually fighting for them. Rather than advocating for his clients, it felt like he was working against them. He even arrived late to my court appearance, which says everything about how seriously he takes his clients and their cases. What made the experience even worse was his behavior and language. He would use slang and stereotypical terminology depending on a client's ethnicity -- saying things like "papi" to Latino clients or referring to someone's child's mother as their "baby mama." It was disrespectful, inappropriate, and completely unprofessional. At one point, he even told me that neither I nor the mother of my children could be trusted. He also told me to bring him $500 in cash and "slip it to him" on the day of court, which completely crossed the line and made the entire situation feel shady and unethical. The overall experience was shocking, uncomfortable, and unacceptable. An attorney should make clients feel represented, respected, and professionally guided. This was the complete opposite. I would never recommend this attorney to anyone.

From the very first interaction, this team demonstrated exceptional professionalism, responsiveness, and a clear understanding of the nuances involved in healthcare-related collections. They went above and beyond at every step--explaining the process clearly, advocating firmly on my behalf, and handling the matter with integrity and persistence. I felt supported, informed, and respected throughout the entire process. Most importantly, they were successful in helping me collect money that was rightfully owed, allowing me to focus my energy back where it belongs: on my clients and my practice. If you are a clinician or small practice owner looking for a law firm that is knowledgeable, compassionate, and results-driven, this team is outstanding. I am deeply grateful for their work and would not hesitate to use their services again.
