Mr. Ceruzzi is the most unethical attorney I’ve ever crossed paths with. He represents a manipulative liar who talks poorly about him. Ceruzzi encourages his clients to give false allegations against innocent mothers. He encourages poor co-parenting and he has no remorse and no heart with children being apart of both of the parents lives. He is only in it for the money. He lacks communication or respect for others and their time and refuses to encourage the parties to work together for the well-being of the children, in fact he could care less about the children. If you want a stable and honest life for your kids and their outcome...then don’t go here.

Was referred to this firm. Called for the initial phone consult. Never got a call back. A few months, and a couple dozen calls later, got ahold of someone who promised a callback on Monday. No callback. Repeated the process. Lots of calls. Lots of weeks. Got ahold of yet another person. Gave them the whole story, from the details of the case to their failure to call us back with any updates, and all of that. Yet another promised callback. Blown off yet again. At this point, we are done trying to work with this law firm. We are living out of state, and are unable to visit in person, so your mileage may vary.

I haven’t ever written a review on anything or anyone in my life.
Mr. Ceruzzi deserves to have some light she’d on the caliber of individual he is. My children were abducted, and removed from the state. This was the result of a highly contentious divorce, spanning over 3 states, foreign custody orders, and enough drama to require weeks for trial prep. I hired Mr. Ceruzzi on a Friday, he represented me on a Monday! He took the time to hear me out, and he’s the first of 4 lawyers in this process that truly cared.
He never mentioned the bias towards men getting custody of children, never uttered one negative outlook on the case, and that’s not a common trait these days.
Mr. Ceruzzi placed my daughters well being above other cases that were more pressing I’m sure! Mr. Ceruzzi is the reason I have full custody of my daughters. He’s the reason they have their own beds to sleep in. He’s the reason I wasn’t forced out of my daughter’s lives.
Words can’t describe how much the acts this man did for my family meant to me.
If you want someone who identifies and is just as passionate as you are about the case at hand... I’d say there is no better option than Mr. Ceruzzi.

Call john and he will treat you like family and protect you in every way possible in you particular case.

Great attorney ! I felt like John actually listened to me without passing judgement. If u need an attorney please give John a call.

Mr. Ceruzzi is AWESOME. He takes the time to listen to you & he truly cares about you (& your case) Everyone in his office is nice & extremely helpful. I would recommend him to everyone. Thank you Mr. Ceruzzi, Mrs. Johnna & staff for everything you have done (& doing) for my family (Marshburn & Liverman).

The BEST child custody lawyer ever. Takes the time to listen & really does care about your case.

John Ceruzzi is amazing!

This guy represents scum, doesn't care about the truth and the well being of my kids. Just getting paid . Sickening

Understand that I did not want to even give a star. I retained Mr Ceruzzi for a child support issue. Six months later, the issue was not only still unsolved, but I was getting hit even harder. His secretary was rude and even, told me she was "done, not doing anything more, the workload was disproportionate to the pay" as though their misunderstandings and failure to accomplish this seemingly simple goal was my fault. This, on top of her constant stream of poorly written emails and misinformation. Mr. Ceruzzi was not very communicative, nor did he "aggressively represent me in court" as stated on the website. You may have better luck, but you have been warned.

^ I wish I had read this review before. I heard Mr. Lanier is a very good lawyer, but this John Paul Sabbah guy is terrible and hurting their law firm. Told him to take care of all my traffic violations in onslow county, he gets a PJC for them and leaves me with one speeding ticket to take care of myself I guess. Won't return phone calls or voicemails, very annoying and fustrating when someone says they will take care of everything and then does'nt. How did they get best law firm award from jdnews? I'll take my money elsewhere to a more competent lawyer.

John Paul Sabbah is horrible. Find another attorney. The most RUDE person I have ever met. Has no care for his clients. Makes the WHOLE law firm look bad. Would never use any of the lawyers because of the experience I had with the one attorney from the firm
