"The A Team. As a world-class expert myself in my field, I was looking for someone who was of equal caliber .... I contacted my colleagues at Holland and Knight, who recommended Mario. When I first met Mario, I told a friend "I'm scared of this guy" -- scared of being on the other side of Mario in litigation. He's a brilliant negotiator and litigator. He's got a knack for getting judges to think along his lines. At an appellate level, the judges treat him as a knowledgeable colleague. Likewise, his partner John Smargiassi is also brilliant, methodical, and has deep technical knowledge. Their firm is resourceful, has good connections, and has access to a wide range of specialists."

"Thanks for your help. You were the ONLY honest and dedicated lawyer I found during the last decade!! And I've had to deal with quite a few lately! You are honest, efficient, have integrity, diligence and personable. (and the rest of the Boy Scout oath! Brave, clean and reverent!) I've been dealing with the lawyers on a Madoff-like scheme involving 100 investors and I've described it as "surviving the Titanic and being rescued by pirates!" RB

"Hi Mario. You have no idea how you have played a part in my life. It is true that I have not been in contact, but not a day goes by that I don't thank God for the guidance, insight, and fortitude you have given me. I send blessings to you everyday. Because of YOU (I, being an abused wife) I was able to see and feel how MV used me and my children. It was in your office, after a consultation, when you looked at me with such pain written on your face and said "I cannot comprehend how a man could destroy his family". Everything changed after that. I am and will be forever, eternally grateful to you and everyone who had a role in bringing forth this result. Thank You, from the bottom of my heart, for your tenacious attitude. Best of Health, Happiness, and Prosperity to you and your dear family. God Bless." CR

"Hello all. Just wanted to say thank you for all of your help. Every one of you have helped me at one point or another in this long process. I will only have good things to say about how I was represented. I never felt like I was a "small client", and I was always impressed that Jasmine recognized my voice every time, even months after not calling! I am satisfied with the results, and I hope my case has provided you with more than a couple of stories that you can tell your friends and colleagues (I know I have a few of my own!). I am proud to be able to say that I know a lawyer (Mario) that can make the opposing counsel cry. You can’t get much better than that! Thanks again, and all the best." BJ

"Hi Mario. I was just sitting in my house, looking through files and getting some stuff done before we (me, the kids and my brother) go to Disney on Monday. We are meeting my father and his wife as well. I was looking through the court papers trying to find the kids SS#'s, since their cards are locked away upstate. I spent about 20 minutes sifting through all we went through. So I decided not just to say hello, but to thank you from the bottom of my heart, along with John and the rest of your team. I am sitting in my house, its never looked better, my kids are doing really well, I have a good job and grow everyday a little more and you were a major player in making that happen. Thank you again." MP
