Yvonne Rizzo states, “There were numerous family law-related cases in progress when the pandemic first began to raise concerns across the nation. When the pandemic became critical enough to warrant a statewide lockdown, many of those cases were effectively slowed down or put on hold. At this firm, however, we understand that our clients cannot wait until the lockdown is over to receive legal aid once more. Furthermore the court system is only accepting emergency filings at this time. This is a temporary situation, however, and we are well aware that the COVID-19 pandemic represents an opportunity for our clients to take their time getting their cases and any associated paperwork in order for the day operations resume in full once more.”

Rizzo is cognizant of the fact that many of their clients will want to press forward with divorces or renegotiate their custody arrangements in the near future, if they have not already attempted to do so. As many legal experts and professionals in related fields are observing, the enforced isolation and being forced to be around family members (particularly spouses) for such a great length of time has led to several unfortunate events. At the lighter end of this scale, couples may be discovering that they do not enjoy each other’s company as much as they expected to. While the film recommends couple’s counselling and similar avenues in such circumstances, they also recognize that more can be at stake in many of these relationships. At the darker end of the scale, for instance, is domestic abuse, which officials have seen a rise in following the onset of the lockdown.

“Right now, it is much more difficult for anyone to file for a restraining order, begin divorce procedures or renegotiate a custody arrangement regarding their children,” states Rizzo. “However, that does not mean you can do nothing to prepare. We urge you to reach out to us in order to explore all your options. The pandemic may be detrimental to your happiness and overall well being but it will not last forever. Instead, you should consider this the time you should be taking to document all your concerns so that you will be ready to proceed once the lockdown is lifted. Fortunately, we can help you with this task.”

Notably, the firm can be reached via electronic means, and they encourage their clients to utilize such non-personal methods of contact to maintain the safety of all parties involved. Yvonne Rizzo, Attorney at Law may be reached via phone, text or email, for instance, and they are also ready and willing to hold video conferences if necessary.

The firm enjoys a full 5-Star rating on the Google platform, a testament to the high quality of their services. Reviewer Steven Guzman shares that, “Yvonne is awesome. She was prepared, on time and she was thorough. She went in and she made us feel secure in her ability and the way she presented our case. She brought all of our concerns to the judge's attention and was able to get more physical custody and 100% legal custody. We were ecstatic with our results. I would highly recommend her to help you with your case. In the future if we have any concerns, we will be using her again.”
