They made sure we understood each stage of the process from the beginning and kept us informed of every single advancement. They made us feel like we were their only customers and were always there to answer any inquiries, no matter how trivial. We are incredibly appreciative of their assistance.
The personnel at this law company impressed me with their helpfulness and expertise. They were able to explain all the legal ramifications of my separation agreement to me, and we collaborated to come up with conditions that were reasonable for both sides. I would without a doubt suggest their services to anyone who is dealing with a similar circumstance.

For several years, my son and daughter-in-law had been fantastic parents. For some reason, the depression of losing a job and being stuck at home during the COVID-19 pandemic caused them to take their frustrations out on their kids. I called the team at the Law Offices of Schlissel DeCorpo, LLP to file for the kids to be temporarily brought to live with me. Mr. Elliot Schlissel helped to file the paperwork and make it clear that if the parents cleaned up their act and got counseling, they would get the kids back.
One of the hardest things I ever had to do was to file against my daughter to have her son taken away from her and put in my care. As the grandmother, I never wanted to do this, but it was apparent to me that my grandson was being neglected. With the help of Nathan DeCorpo at the Law Offices of Schlissel DeCorpo, LLP, my grandson has come to live with me and now has the care and attention he needs to be able to grow and develop properly.
I wasn't sure what to do. One of my students showed up at class with long sleeves, even on the hottest of days. I talked to the school counselors and social services to see if anything could be done. They employed the assistance of Elliot Schlissel from the Law Offices of Schlissel DeCorpo, LLP to find a way to give my student the protection needed. The abuse has ended, she is able to come to school with short sleeves on, and she has a lot more confidence than ever before. Thank you so much for all your help.
My ex-wife was trying to keep me from being able to see my children on the weekends that I was supposed to be allowed to spend time with them. I was tired of putting up with her excuses and contacted the team at the Law Offices of Schlissel DeCorpo, LLP. They helped me file in court and Mr. Nathan DeCorpo represented my complaint. Now, I have a supervised time and date each time when I am to have my kids, which means my ex-wife has no excuses or recourses when it's time to hand them over and let them spend the weekends with me.
My husband was regularly drunk and coming home to cause trouble. I loved him but couldn't stand the way he would be out of control and beat on me and the kids when he came home. I needed to get out of our home and away from him. I called Mr. Elliot Schlissel at the Law Offices of Schlissel DeCorpo, LLP and he helped me file for a divorce, file for protection from my husband for me and the kids, and assisted us in finding a place to go. I wanted my husband to get some help but needed to keep my kids safe.
My wife was accusing me of abusing her and filed domestic violence charges against me. While I couldn't think of a single time, I had ever raised a hand in anger to her, I was hauled off in handcuffs and put in a holding cell. Thankfully, I remembered an ad I saw for the Law Offices of Schlissel DeCorpo, LLP. With the help of Nathan DeCorpo, the charges against me were dropped when my wife admitted she was angry and wanted to cause me some trouble. Now, I am filing for divorce and ready to move on and away from her.
For several years, my son and daughter-in-law had been fantastic parents. For some reason, the depression of losing a job and being stuck at home during the COVID-19 pandemic caused them to take their frustrations out on their kids. I called the team at the Law Offices of Schlissel DeCorpo, LLP to file for the kids to be temporarily brought to live with me. Mr. Elliot Schlissel helped to file the paperwork and make it clear that if the parents cleaned up their act and got counseling, they would get the kids back.
My son went to school with a cut on his head and told his teacher that his mother had pushed him down. As his father, I witnessed when he cut his head, which was due to him playing rough with his brother. Unfortunately, the school wanted an investigation of abuse and contacted social services, and wouldn't listen to us at all. When the threat of removing him from our home came up, I called Nathan DeCorpo at the Law Offices of Schlissel DeCorpo, LLP. He worked with us and the school to clear everything up.
My wife and I knew it was time for a divorce. We had known for a long time but we didn't think we could afford the cost of a lawyer to help us through the process. Thankfully, Elliott Schlissel at the Law Offices of Schlissel DeCorpo, LLP showed us that we could have this process completed in an affordable manner. They helped us file our paperwork in the family court and make it much easier than we thought it would be to dissolve our marriage. Thankfully, we were able to agree on almost everything including child custody, which made things much easier.
For many years, my sister had been on drugs, but she got help and got clean. It seemed her life was on the right track and she even met a man and had a daughter with him. Unfortunately, his leaving sent her into a tailspin and she began using drugs again. Once I realized this was happening, I contacted Nathan DeCorpo at the Law Offices of Schlissel DeCorpo, LLP. He let me know that an investigation could begin to see if my niece was being neglected or abused and that she could be placed with me if that was the case. Now my sister is back in rehab and my niece is living with me until her mother gets her life back on track.
My husband and I couldn't come to terms regarding child custody, alimony, or child support. We were trying to file our divorce as affordably as possible, but with these disagreements, it seemed we were headed to Family Court. I contacted Mr. Elliot Schlissel at the Law Offices of Schlissel DeCorpo, LLP and he agreed to represent me. Thankfully, we never had to actually go to court and we came to terms during our hearing proceedings.
Elliot is a caring lawyer who is both knowledgeable and a proffessional! He helped several of our friends with great legal advice and positive results. Highly recommended!
Elliot and his office were professional and compassionate. From the beginning to the end he was there to consult with if I had any questions. He always gave me straight forward answers putting my mind at ease.
You can’t go wrong with the Elliot S. Schlissel. Elliot is one of the most experienced, intelligent attorneys practicing.
