“In matters of custody, you place everything you hold dear into the hands of a stranger. Winning needed to be an absolute CERTAINTY. After spending months and countless hours extensively researching family law attorneys, all roads lead to Anthony Cervi. And after our first meeting, I was CERTAIN. He’s definitely a straight shooter, but he does it with empathy. He made me feel validated and strong.

Through my research, I saw so many complaints about unresponsive attorneys. Mr. Cervi kept me in the loop at all times, with updates, all correspondence between parties, and answered my questions before I had questions to ask. From the start Mr. Cervi had a plan. Litigation is a lengthy process, but even during periods of radio silence I never had to worry. I knew I could TRUST his process.

I’ve heard so many custody battle horror stories and traumatic experiences. But start to finish, I felt INVINCIBLE with Cervi in my corner. In the end, I almost felt sorry for the opposition…almost ;)”

“My experience with Anthony was superb. He is very straight forward and an excellent attorney that provides results. I decided to hire him and switch attorneys, as my previous attorney was not getting anywhere and was not responsive. Anthony’s staff was responsive to all my questions and concerns. They made the process of a custody agreement smooth and to my liking walking me through step by step. Thank you Anthony and staff for your support and guidance though the whole thing.”

“AMAZING SERVICE! Since the first time I called l- The front desk was super sweet and nice. They explained the process and when I should expect to hear a call back. My first appt/consult was very informative, I felt it was professional while at the same time never making me feel stupid for asking questions. He gave very good directions on moving forward if I chose to work with him. We ended up needed his services a week later and the entire office was prompt and quick to get our case started and completed. It was mostly reviewing and editing contracts. There were many parts of this that involved him speaking to the other parties lawyer who was out of state and in a completely different time zone. I appreciated I got emails every-time there was contact by them or the other party. I always felt like I understood the process and if more questions were needed. In the end although this was one of the hardest situations I have ever had to face there is no way I could have made it out on top without the help of these amazing people. I would recommend them to anyone looking for legal advice!”

“Anthony Cervi and his team are the best family lawyer practice in all of Western New York. My case involved two different states and Anthony’s experience, knowledge, and genius helped me win my case. He truly outshined the other lawyer involved in the case. He was very informative and attentive and I couldn’t have asked for a better family lawyer. In fact I wish he lived in my home state so I could retain his services here. Thank you Anthony for doing a great job! I highly recommend if you need a family lawyer, Anthony Cervi should be your first and only choice!

Update!
So I continued to retain Anthony Cervi for a custody hearing involving my daughter. The case almost lasted 4 years, due to difficulty with my child’s mother. Anthony was great the entire time and kept me well informed. He was able to secure the settlement I was seeking. I am going to definitely use him again in the future, due to the continued difficulty with my child’s mom. I have [no] doubt Anthony will protect me and my daughter. If you are looking for a great experienced family lawyer, Anthony Cervi is the person for you. Thank you Anthony and your staff!”

“At our initial consultation with Mr. Cervi, he listened intently to all of our concerns. Our situation seemed incredulous, but Anthony went to work on our case. Mr. Cervi, with his expertise, worked diligently with the judge and other attorneys involved and gained for us as good a resolution as we could have possibly expected. We would highly recommend Mr. Cervi and his team.”

“Anthony Cervi was so helpful to me after my husband died and I realized as the only parent of my 3 kids I definitely needed to get everything in order in case something happened to me. He was extremely kind, patient and helpful getting these documents put together for me. He also checked in to see if I had any problems or questions about my husband’s estate and told me to reach out if I needed help with it. I was so grateful for his assistance I feel comforted knowing this task has been [dealt] with.”

“Was looking for a lawyer to handle a child support matter in New York to get it dismissed since I live in Ga. I googled lawyers and spoke with several but Mr. Cervi and his team won me over with their customer service. The receptionist always picked up the phone and responded to emails in a timely manner. They answered every single question and made me feel at ease. They began working on my case August 2021 by the end of September 2021 we were victorious and the case was resolved to my liking. I definitely would recommend Mr. Cervi and his law firm. Thanks again you really took a ton of stress off my shoulder.”

“Amazing attorney, did everything he said he was going to do and in a timely manner. He went above and beyond to help me out and it [paid] off in the end with a dismissal from the judge. I highly recommend him!”

“I researched and spoke to about ten local attorneys over the course of ten months before retaining Mr. Cervi. I was not thrilled to pay a consultation fee (sorry, Mr. Cervi!) but I am so glad I did and now I understand why. Mr. Cervi is highly sought after and is very busy. He almost couldn’t take my case. And, in a case where I thought I ONLY had a chance to win with the right representation, it was vital that I found the right fit! I knew after speaking to him, that he was the one! :) I knew that I needed a sharp, intelligent, honest and non-judgmental attorney on my side. As a Christian family, we were facing situations in NYS where relocation was our only option. I could not lose. And we were reopening a case that my ex had [begun] a year prior, that I had agreed to, to not relocate. I felt like I was in over my head. Mr. Cervi was gentle and understanding with every aspect regarding our faith. He was determined to help me and was honest about expectations. He may be pricier than others but you can’t put a price on a child’s best interests. He is worth every penny and I would pay it all over again! We are now looking forward to relocating out of NYS!!!! Thank you, Mr. Cervi!!!!!”

I am grateful for their prompt responses to my questions, their personable staff, the knowledge base he and his colleagues had and overall was completely satisfied with the end result of my divorce settlement. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for this type of service. Thank you again, Anthony! You helped set me up for success in the next phase of my life and I am very grateful.”

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND Tony Cervi as your attorney! Tony has fought a hard battle in court for the past year in family court to have my boyfriend gain residency for his 12 year old daughter & just this past week he was in front of the child support judge who made his ex-girlfriend finally pay him child support weekly! No doubt, Tony has made a miracle happen in both courts where the past 8 years my boyfriend was always playing defense with other lawyers and for the first time he was on the offense having Tony as his lawyer. Tony made him feel confident, in control of the case, handled all the negotiating with the other lawyer, law guardian, & judges, supported his case by obtaining documents to build a case against his ex-girlfriend, always answered his panic phone calls when needing advice, and never missed a court date. This has been truly finally one of the best years out of the past 8 long, awful years with dealing with past attorneys, courts, & judges. Thank you Tony Cervi and again one of the best lawyers :) He will get results for you!”

“Five-star lawyer and legal service team. Anthony Cervi and his staff handled our family matter timely and provided us with professional services that met our expectations. Anthony and his team provided clear-cut advice and expectations and most importantly followed through on what he said. Anthony and his team will not give you the runaround. You will get the truth and real legal advice in a respectful and compassionate way.

Our case was very complex and Anthony and the team sifted through unreasonable claims and didn’t let us get bullied. Anthony and the team took the time to listen and went on offense for us. So much so we never felt like we were the defendant. If you want a team that will fight for you and provide you the results you deserve look no further. Anthony and his team are dedicated and provide real results. Thank you Anthony, Michael, and Morgan!

Thank you Mr. Cervi for being such a remarkable asset to our community. Your dedication to our country as a U.S. Army Veteran, Honorable Judge in the Town of Lancaster, and lawyer should be commended. God Bless you and Thank you very much!”

“I had an absolutely amazing experience working with Cervi law. I worked directly with the attorney, Michael and he was my favorite person I worked with through buying my first home. Cervi law always answered every question I had quickly and in terms that I could understand. I have also used Cervi directly for notarizing. I have nothing but great things to say about this law office, especially if you’re someone who doesn’t use a lawyer regularly. They really make everything easy to understand and are great at their jobs as well as respectful people. Thank you!!”
