"Ginine Hanco was very easy to work with. She made me feel comfortable even in very uncomfortable times. If you want a lawyer that will be tenacious when needed but also treats you like a real person and not just a case then Ginine is a good one to go with. Her paralegal Milly Blanco was awesome on the paperwork and keeping me updated. She always responded quickly to my needs."
Brian C.

"I can’t say enough about this Firm. Ginine Hanco was a fantastic attorney to have in my corner! Day or night she was there. The numerous curve balls thrown at me were easily rectified. Things I that I thought were the end of the world; she Reassured me and handles it with calm! Her assistant Milly Blanco was just as hard working and a pleasure. I thank you both from the bottom of my heart!"
Rene L.

"First , I’d like to express how vastly and very family Sensitive my case was....far from common. Mrs. Fagan and Mrs. Hayes were nothing short of extraordinary, with work on the highest level of professionalism, promptness, thoroughness and when it came time for my Trial, Attorney Fagan was amazing in presenting all and nothing but hard facts aggressively! As a Graduate of Musca law at such an early age...nothing more needs to be said about her performance. My heart goes out to two dedicated woman determined to prove that Men can be just as much as a victim. Thank you both, very much!"

"I had a very difficult separation and Ginine and Milly were there in my court the whole way! She was very firm yet level headed and helped me keep my cool at times. I had 3 young boys involved and Ginine always gave sound advice not only regarding the divorce but regarding life after the divorce. It was a pleasure and I would definitely recommend Ginine Hanco and Milly Blanco."
James M.

"I had the pleasure of seeing the work with the Men's Rights Law Form during these last 6 months. They are extremely professional, courteous and caring. They treat their clients with respect and make everyone feel comfortable knowing that things are handled quickly and appropriately. Especially,Taylor Fagan and her Paralegal Julie Hayes who were truly amazing and we were truly lucky that Taylor represented us. ... there are no words to thank her ..... thank you very much."
Abby R.

"After a long separation with my former spouse, I was served with divorce papers. I knew that it was time to pick the best team to go and bat for me to defend my rights as a dad and to protect my future. Matt called me immediately and put me at peace that they will do everything within their power to get things rectified and to come to best outcome possible. As with any litigation, the outcome is not guaranteed but they were all in to get the best results. Ginine Hanco and Millie went at it from the beginning and never took no for an answer until an agreement was reached. I had to bring as much effort into it as they did and they took all my stipulations in consideration til the very end. After a year, I was once again served with papers, and once again, Matt and the team was there to answer for me and to back me up. The resolution came rather quickly. Great team of people that I am thankful for."
E. Viera

"After almost 2 years, I was at my wits end with my divorce. It literally consumed my life & made it extremely difficult to navigate life. After almost calling it quits, I gave one last effort to defend myself using this firm!
I THANK GOD I did! When I sat down with Matt Irwin & explained my situation, he made me feel completely comfortable with his expertise in knowing how to defend me against the onslaught of attacks from my now ex’s attorney.
He recommended I sit down with one Harley Brook. I shared with Harley my 2 year battle..my desire to want nothing more than 50/50 time sharing with my 2 daughters & to have equal opportunity to be a parent.
In confidence, Harley assured me that if this needed to go to trial, they were more than willing to prepare! However, he was also confident that this could get resolved through mediation which had cost me so much in the past with absolutely NO results!
I was skeptical, but put my trust in his expertise & I am so grateful I did! We settled the entire case at mediation & I was given my equal rights as a Father!! To Matt, Harley, Brianne & the rest of the firms incredible staff, THANK YOU!!
THANK YOU for fighting for men’s rights! I highly recommended this firm to ANYONE going through a tough challenge wether it be from divorce or custody battle."
Christopher B.

"I just want you to know your law firm was a breath of fresh air after a previous experience with a different law firm.Your staff was always willing to take my calls & emails and respond quickly , particularly Julie, an absolute professional, Taylor and Larry for their legal knowledge , Ashlie , Marie and those I might forget to mention. They always made me feel as a valued client, Matt. I know you worked very hard on my case, and although it wasn't the best outcome I would have desired, I am happy with the final results, again knowing you had my absolute best interests at heart. The Florida court system, I believe is just overwhelmed at this time with the virus and they just don't have the time to examine each and every case as they would normally do. If the occasion arises, I will not hesitate, not for a moment in highly recommending your firm. Again, thank you Matt, you have a great staff. Keep fighting for all mens' rights."
Jim S.

"Attorney DeSalvo and his Paralegal Brianne are exceptional at what they do. I was going through one of the most difficult things I have and probably will ever go through. They made it feel as if I was not going through it alone. I never thought I would find such an extraordinary group of people, who truly cared, as much as they do. I also want to mention how friendly and caring Ashley the receptionist has always been to me and how patient and kind Marie the Office manager is. Everyone in the office is extremely friendly and caring. I am so happy with choosing Men's Rights Law Firm and I will forever be grateful for everything they have done."
R.T.

"I hired Men's Rights Law Firm to assist me with my divorce. I initially met with Matthew Irwin then my case was assigned to attorney Hanco and her paralegal Milly. They were patient with me throughout the entire process and always made sure to reach out to me to make sure we kept the case moving forward. I had a great experience with Men’s Rights Law Firm. Happy Thanksgiving!!"
Chris L.

Janet B.

"When I first went in to see Matt, I had no idea what to expect. I was very nervous about starting the divorce process. Matt was very patient and walked me through every aspect of the process. He answered all of my questions and prepared me for every possible scenario. I felt so comfortable and confident knowing that he would be handling my case. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone genuine and knowledgeable."
Hay P.

"Most helpful and accommodating firm I have ever dealt with. I really want to thank Matt and his paralegal Jennifer for assisting me and pointing me in the right direction."
Mailen M.

"I have dealt with quite a few attorneys and my days but man’s law firm is one of the best they actually care about you and Milly Blanco my assistant that I had was absolutely amazing if I ever need to I would go to them again in a second . Just when I thought I had a great law firm representing me I was impressed all over again Millie is absolutely there are no words for Milly she’s like Johnny on the spot Always calls you back always explain things to you she could not do her job any better if she tried I truly believe that then there’s Janine Janine is kind of Tony soprano and a pitbull mix together when I say that she represent you she represents you she puts her self in front she did for me today something that I didn’t think was possible I have been trying to get modifications and all kinds of things for each nine years then I went to waiting for disability and meanwhile the client kept chicken I cumulated over $100,000 in back child support and if it wasn’t for Janine that she found an open stipulation in my court case I would’ve most likely had to pay all that money back which I shouldn’t of had to pay but I would’ve had to saying I’m happy with this law firm is an understatement when the owner shook my hand after hearing what I had to say and my situation he told me he was going to help me and I left that day thinking maybe you will but they have gone above and beyond even when I haven’t been able to pay they have still help me when it comes to men they’re the only law firm to go ."
Giuseppe C.

"I've been dealing with Matthew for many years he is truly a very honest and straight forward person and a great lawyer . I would highly recommend this firm to all of my family and friends."
Ed G.

Milagros and Ginine were both very helpful and informative over the phone, I called in twice in need of advice and they both helped me even though I had not hired their firm. But I will be in the future after being treated so well. I would recommend them to anyone
Wilton C.

"Mr. Laurence Smith is a kind, compassionate, and complete divorce attorney. His strengths are an impeccable understanding of divorce law, great communication with immediate answers for all my questions. He is calm, confident and gives the client hope to resolve any issue whether it is child support, Alimony reduction and always has a solution to any issue."
Harold T.

"These are top notch people! The entire staff. They make you feel like your part of their family. Ginine Hanco is a friendly and knowledgeable Attorney. And aggressive. Your concerns are her concerns. Her assistant Milly is also friendly and knowledgeable. The whole staff I can't say enough good things about. Communication is an A++. I HIGHLY recommend them as your attorneys."

"Matthew Irwin is the representation you want both in and out of court! Professional and courteous in mediation and negotiations, knowledgeable and aggressive when the situation calls for it. Matthew and his team really listened to my situation and provided a meaningful response and strategy. Any time I needed to ask a question about the case or get advice, Matthew personally provided a prompt response. Beyond his extensive legal knowledge and focused representation, Matthew and his team provided the comfort and assurance I needed throughout the process. I’m thankful for Matthew representing me and supporting the best interest of my kids."
Jeff B.

"Great people fast service and very professional I went into the office thinking the worst left the office and total faith that everything will be handled to the best of their ability I really appreciate these people and their hard work."
Mike S.

"This is the second time I have used Ms.Hanco as my Attorney. I am very pleased with her knowledge and professional manner. I would highly recommend her. Paralegal, Millie Blanco,always keep us informed in a timely manner they are both TOPS."
Thomas S.

"I fired my first lawyer that I had for a year. All I got was a big bill and a stack of papers saying nothing. When I saw this sign Men's rights law firm. I went to them I talk with Sam He said it should have been months ago. I was given to Larry Smith who listened to what I thought should been done. He did it In three months after I retained that law firm. I would recommend them to any one that asked."

"Matt & Stefanie took point on my divorce and I couldn't be happier with their professionalism. What I saw as a nightmare and destined for the Springer show, they handled without flinching. My Ex was out of state and determined to take me for everything and drag things out as long as possible. My desire to get the divorce over as soon as possible prompted them to swiftly hire an out of state process server to track her down to serve her. They were on top of things as the deadlines for her to respond/counter passed. Despite my Ex's threats of a last minute showing in court (ended up an empty threat), Mr. Irwin was well prepared to bring his "A" game and nail her to wall if necessary. While my desire for a quick end to a nightmare marriage may have left me on the short end of the stick, I did get the home which was all I was asking for (and a bonus, via an equalizer payment). It's never nice to have to go through such a situation, but it happens, and I'm glad I chose Mens Rights to represent me. They were up front from the start and answered all my questions as they came up. Their well itemized invoices showed exactly where the money was going so there was never any fear about being taken by my ex, AND my lawyer..."

"I have interviewed divorce attorneys in the past and never seen the professionalism, confidence, leadership, aggressiveness, knowledge, experience and caring like what I have received from Mens Right Law Firm. They were totally understanding and not pushy and did everything on my terms. I felt relaxed and knew everything was taken care of by the best, Larry and Stephanie. Thank you so much for all your hard work in my time of need. Mens Right Law Firm is the law firm to hire on your team. They truly do care about their clients."

"Not knowing the steps to take to achieve my divorce, I found Men's Rights Law Firm online and made the phone call. The phone consultation was the first step and from there, they took me step by step from start to finish. Being an over the road truck driver, all of my business was conducted through e-mail or by phone which made it much easier on me. Attorney Matthew and his paralegal, Stefanie, were there for me answering any questions that I may have had. At mediation, Attorney Irwin represented me totally and in a very professional manner. A special thanks to Attorney Irwin and the entire staff at Men's Rights Law Firm. I have absolutely no regrets with the choice I made."
Granville S.

"So there I was knee deep in court orders having my 4th point of contact (that would be my butt for you non military types)handed to me in out of state court rooms and not even divorced when the whirlwind ended. All the while stuck in a foreign country not knowing what to do. Well lucky for me the venue moved to Florida and I found Matthew Irwin and his firm. Not only did he not hard sell me , but he and his staff were quiet professionals, yes i said quiet something very important to the military community. No wasted talk just straight to the point making everything easy to understand. They were able to work with me even though I was on the other side of the planet so I could focus on my military mission removing a lot of stress from a already tasked life.The military divorce is a very complicated situation and they handled it with precision, professionalism and respect for all parties involved.So if your over in one of the many places we go wondering what to do and your reading this, enlist Matt and his staff to your team. He is the battle buddy you need to get it all done in the Florida courts."
Jack G.

"I have a very unique support order. I was able to handle previous cases myself but this time in needed help. I retained Attorney Irwin and let me tell you. I have a lot of respect for this Law Firm and their Staff. Very professional and kind. All my questions were answered. I was never left in the dark about my case and was always informed. Mr Irwin was honest about how the outcome would be with my case. I could not have asked for a better Attorney. Attorney Irwin you have lifted a huge weight off my shoulders and I thank you. To you and everyone at Men's Rights Law Firm, Thank You. Thank you so very much."
Glen

"Filing for divorce was a last resort and I was not looking forward to the process. But Matt Irwin at the Men's Rights Law Firm was the consummate professional throughout the entire course of action.He remained completely objective about both parties while focusing on my welfare with compassion and understanding. Matt was always available to answer my many questions and totally dedicated to keeping me informed and protected. His low key demeanor belies his passionate representation of his clients, a very vital attribute in a highly emotional situation.During the entire process Matt remained totally accessible as he and his very capable staff kept me apprised of every step taken in my defense. I could not be more pleased with the level of service I experienced.Ultimately, my spouse and I elected to pursue a path toward reconciliation. Surprisingly, Matt when advised of the decision applauded our attempt to avoid the definitive termination of a long term relationship. Matt Irwin and the Men's Rights Law Firm are truly a man's best advocate during a very difficult time."
Frank

"Not only do they NOT communicate with you, they promise you they will relay your feelings/concerns RIGHT before you walk into the court room then say NOTHING on your behalf!! Paying THOUSANDS of dollars for basically a secretary that you have to hound yourself to figure out what is going on or what you need to be doing yourself!! Only communicates via email, IMPOSSIBLE to actually talk to anybody on the phone. They made Nothing happen, practically just ended digging us in a deeper hole! We obviously made the WRONG choice in picking this Law Firm. Oh and it doesn't help that they end up assigning 3 different lawyers to your case.... Would NOT recommend!!"

"Thanks to Mr. Assini your work against pay or appear is how I discovered Men's Rights. Twice I've been represented by attorney Matthew Irwin. And twice he gave results I never thought could happen. Thank all of you."
S.A. Edwards

"Very professional and he knows family law like the back of his hand. He is very confident and is excellent under pressure. I would recommend Matt and Mens Rights Law firm to anyone in need of family law expertise. Thanks guys!!!"
Frank & Tara M.

"Aggressive and through . I was dealing with a relocation of my daughter. Matt got papers into the judge that stopped that . I got hit with heavy child support threats from the other side . Matt put a stop to that. I have a very reasonable child support payment with no fluff. We have an agreement that is fair and through. Now I don't have to worry about a thing. 50/50 time with my daughter. I'm all smiles. I will send all my friends and family to this caring law firm for men."
Brian

"Mr Irwin helped me get out of state shared parenting of my son. He always made sure I was fully informed and what my options were. Backed up by very helpful and competent office staff made billing and scheduling as painless as possible."
James

"Men's Rights Law Firm was referred to me by Lee County Domestic Violence Victim's Service (best reference I ever had). Mr. Assini, in our first meeting, explained to me, very clearly, the procedures for divorce here in Florida. The staff at Men's Rights Law Firm (Stefanie & Mr. Beurmann) led and professionally helped me through the whole process with dedication and understanding. Thank you Men's Rights Law Firm and I strongly suggest to any man in need of a very effective law firm to deal with Men's Rights Law Firm. Thank you!"
M.B.P

"I was very pleased with the service that Marty and his staff gave me. Being kept in the loop was a great relief, as was the outcome of my case. 5 stars, should be double that!"
DLR

"I have had a bad divorce and there were some issues with my ex-wife after our divorce. I am glad I had a lawyer (Mr. Irwin) on my side and after some court procedures I still have shared custody. If you want to have shared custody it is worth fighting for your rights. I am happy with this law firm. I also hope that I will never go through this again."
SS

"Everyone at the office was competent & accessible. They charge a fair price(after the divorce was over I questioned a couple of fees which were later reviewed & deducted from my bill). After dealing with two divorce proceedings and multiple attorneys, I would recommend this law firm."

"The above adage has never rang more true than when I entered a paternity action for parenting time with my son. Being ignorant of how the "family law system" works, I hired a flat fee attorney in Punta Gorda who has practiced there for 25 plus years. He convinced me this action was no problem and that success was all but guaranteed. Worst hire I could have made. A flat fee attorney will not work for you, answer calls or emails. Will do no research, subpoenas, or evidence gathering. He created more stress for me than my sons mother. Lesson Learned!
I walked in to The Mens Rights Law Firm, was professionally greeted and treated like a client not an inconvenience. After the initial consultation with Mr. Assini I knew I had found the right firm to represent my plight as a father whose rights were being trampled. I fired my Punta Gorda attorney and hired The Men's Rights Law Firm.
I am in no way flush financially, however after being bounced around the "Family Law System" for a year and a half, I learned that you definitely get what you pay for! The Mens Rights Law Firm has fair pricing. You do, as a client, get billed for time spent on your case. However, my experience was that the time spent on my case with an entire legal team brainstorming on the best way to use the law to provide success in front of the judge was priceless.
When we went to court my lawyer, Mr. Larry Smith, quietly but legally, argued my case and totally kicked the opposing (very very reputable and more expensive) attorneys tail. I received a favorable ruling on EVERY issue regarding the abuse of my rights as a father.
The Men's Rights Law Firm did these very important things for me:
Listened, respected my input, returned calls and e-mails, kept me informed, kept me up to date with itemized detailed billing and most importantly instilled confidence that I had made the right choice and that everything was going to work out, allowing me to sleep at night. Those of you going through a case like this know exactly what I mean. When you trust your legal team it makes all the difference in the world. My reward is precious time with my son so I can parent him as he grows to manhood.
My first lawyer was a great example of who you shouldn't hire and The Men's Rights Law Firm is a great example of who you should hire. Thank you to Sam, Larry, Gracie and all of the staff that worked successfully on my case."

"This firm was honest and up front from the start. I was told what my custody case would cost in a court room and out of a court room. Knowing that money was an issue, Mr. Irwin negotiated for quite sometime with my ex's attorney. He was able to reach an agreement that I could live with. He and his staff always returned my calls promptly and answered all of the questions I had. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone."
GCC

"During my post-divorce life, I have endured parental alienation, substance abuse from my former spouse, general neglect on my children, several contempt actions, and just about any other thing you can think of to make this nightmare complete. Basically, it was as if no divorce settlement existed.
Along comes Mr. Irwin and his trusty sidekick, Marie Windler. Mr. Irwin is innovative in his strategies, manages expectations, and does well with keeping you informed of the process. He is a master of the "speak quietly, but carry a big stick" concept.
Most importantly, they are responsive and flexible. The firm is a dream for military members like myself. In addition, they have been able to take the time to keep emotions in check. In my case, that has been a huge undertaking for them.
I am not sure if I could have selected a better team to defend my rights and look after the interest of my children. Their work has been invaluable.
I would strongly recommend this firm to anyone who has to go through this sort of situation. They offer a military discount and have been flexible with payments. When it comes to money, they are upfront with what they bill, but they also advise on methods that will save you quite a bit in the long run. In essence, their integrity is unmatched."
Skoshi39

"The Mens Rights Law team will do every thing possible to come to a fair and reasonable agreement with your spouse. However, if your Spouse decided to be unreasonable or even vindictive (as mine was), They will defend your rights aggressively against any false claims or denial of access to your children. I was successfully defended against a false Domestic Violence Claim and my Wife was eventually forced to agree to making me Residential Parent of our son. If your Spouse is adversarial, you can go to Court with a Poodle or a Pit Bull. I suggest you take a couple of Pit Bulls that go by the Name of Sam Assini and Matthew Irwin."
GCC

"I would highly recommend Men's Rights Law Firm to any military member considering a divorce. The attorneys at this firm are highly competent, aggressive, proactive, and take a personal approach in ensuring that your rights are protected. They offer a discount for military members, but more importantly, they are very knowledgeable with the complexities of specific issues related to a military divorce. I am completely satisfied with the results. Again, highly recommend this firm."
Iraq Vet

"I highly recommend the Men's Rights Law Firm. Great people that get the job done in a caring, professional manner. They return calls, keep you informed of the status of your case and provide a detailed accounting of how your money is being spent."

"I've never met a more compassionate group of attorneys and law office staff. They are professional, focused and truly believe in what they do."
