Enrico helped me win a very favorable outcome in my high conflict custody case. He knew just what questions to ask to get me to speak to the points I wanted heard during my testimony and knew what questions to ask my ex in cross examination to help get my main points across in front of the judge, whi le maintaining an exceptional level of professionalism. While I hope I won’t have to use his expertise again, he will be the first person I call if I do. If you find yourself needing a custody lawyer, you will not be disappointed with Enrico.

Mr. Pagnanelli is a highly intelligent, and skilled family law attorney. He represented me on a hotly contested divorce, and custody case, with the other side playing dirty. With his help, I obtained very favorable outcomes on each case that finalized. His sister Maria repped me in court, and fiercel y fought back extensive and outlandish demands from opposing counsel, which ultimately tipped the divorce in my favor. She is articulate while answering questions. They also offer comparably affordable rates for their service.

I was faced with the possibility of not seeing my newborn daughter for. I reached out to Enrico and immediately knew he was the right attorney for my situation. With his vast knowledge, his finesse and extreme attention to every detail, he faught for my rights as a father. He paid special attention to me as a person and took the interest of my child first and foremost. I can honestly say that without Enrico, I'm not sure where I'd be today. He faught for custody and child support to find a fair and balanced outcome for me and my daughters mother. If you are undecided about which attorney to retain, I highly recommend Enrico and his staff. They are knowledgeable and caring, ready for whatever might come in to play to reach a suitable and fair arrangement. Thank you Enrico for everything you've done for me and my family! My daughter is happy and well adjusted. Reach out to Enrico and his staff for all your family law needs, you won't be sorry and can thank me later! Best of luck to anyone in need of a family lawyer Enrico is hands down, the best!

Enrico has been working on my complex custody and PFA case since June and I could not be happier with his advocacy, expertise and overall demeanor. He handled a very messy and contentious case with professionalism and extensive legal knowledge. He made me feel so confident and capable when I thought I may have to testify, but he was able to come to a custody agreement with opposing counsel at the 11th hour of a 2nd day protracted custody trial. He was always up front and direct with my questions (and I had a lot), always answered me quickly and worked with me regarding finances and billing. Enrico is an ethical, moral and competent attorney and I would recommend him and his partner Maria (who wrote up a beautifully worded motion for me) to anyone in need of representation for custody matters. I am very happy with the custody order he negotiated between me and my son's father.

I have a very complex PFA and jurisdiction/custody case. Maria was responsive, informative, supportive, and effective! I would highly recommend her if you are dealing with a family court case in Philadelphia.

I was so lucky to have Maria for the second half of my divorce. She was not only strategic and ethical, but she kept me calm and was able to help me decipher noise and nonsense from reality. She also was able to handle my ex-husband's contentious counsel in a professional, yet efficient manner. Maria is trauma informed and made me feel at ease during the most tenuous times. I work in the field of domestic violence and have already recommended to her to many clients. Finding an honest and professional family lawyer can be a daunting task, but I lucked out with her. Thanks, Maria!

Maria represented my husband in a brutal custody dispute with multiple complicated factors that kept changing as the case went on, even after it was ruled upon. Her knowledge of law, family dynamics, and the court system are absolutely unparallelled. She was exceptionally responsive to communication , particularly in the midst of a pandemic while everything was changing so quickly, other mere humans couldn't keep up. She possesses a brilliant legal mind, coupled with a great sense of humor and is without a doubt the most compassionate lawyer I have ever encountered (to the party she represents obviously). Her arguments in court deserve a mic drop every time and she was able to expose a typically very skilled liar during cross-examination seemily easily. Her legal advice proved excellent every step of the way. She should cost 5x what she does (but I am beyond grateful she doesn't!), we are so lucky to have hired her.

Consulted with her for a child custody case. First thing she did was review all the facts with me, then when discovering I actually lived in a different county told me the best thing was to get the case transferred to my county...after which she would recommend me getting a different lawyer from that county!! She did that and she DID remove herself from the case afterwards. She put herself out of a job in my best interests! Hire this woman, she looks out for you!!

5 stars does not even cover how outstanding Maria Testa was in my cases! I came to her in dire straits when my daughter had been taken by her father. Maria jumped into my case head on and slayed in court. She is a force of nature! She is extremely knowledgeable of the law and rules of court. She is v ery responsive to her clients. I cannot express to you how important that is! She went above and beyond the call of duty. She offered support and guidance when I needed it most. She won the first case which was an emergency hearing and then she won my custody trial! She is phenomenal! Her staff is also wonderful and responsive. There really isn’t enough words to describe how intelligent, knowledgeable, personable she is and her expertise is off the charts. If you need a family law lawyer look no further! Maria is who you need!
