“Extremely pleased- he was extremely prompt, responsive and professional regarding all issues.”
In 2009 when I retired (for the second time) I retained the firm of Scaringi and Scaringi, P.C. for estate planning and tax services. On both accounts, I was, and am, extremely pleased. Recently I was involved in a different situation requiring legal representation and I again requested Scaringi and Scaringi, P.C. for assistance. In this instance, and to my immense satisfaction, Marc Scaringi assumed responsibility for my case. He was extremely prompt, responsive and professional regarding all issues and if I ever need assistance again, I only hope that Marc will represent me.

“A true champion of the Constitution and the rights of we the people, and we desperately need more attorneys like him!”
After seeking advice from several attorneys who all were unable to help and were unaware of the particular law we needed help with, Marc was able to quickly provide quality research and advice. His excellent work has saved myself and others tons of time, money, and headaches we otherwise would have run into if not for the information and advice Marc was able to provide us. Marc is a true champion of the Constitution and the rights of we the people, and we desperately need more attorneys like him!

The communication between his firm and myself was immediate if there were any sudden changes or complications that arose. I was thoroughly pleased with the outcome of my proceedings and would not hesitate to recommend or retain his services in the future.

Excellent guidance through a difficult divorce: My divorce was not an easy one. There was resistance from the other party.
