Law Firm Overview

Scaringi & Scaringi, P.C. is a comprehensive, full service law firm. Our attorneys have over 70 years of combined legal experience. Each of our attorneys has his or her particular legal focus. For example, Melanie Walz Scaringi focuses her practice in estate planning, probate, elder law and real estate. Marc Scaringi practices in the areas of commercial law and litigation, business formation and corporate law. Debra R. Mehaffie focuses her practice in family and employment law. Frank C. Sluzis focuses his practice on family, criminal, civil litigation, workers' compensation and state licensing matters including liquor licenses. Virginia Henning concentrates in employment law, tax law and bankruptcy. Laurence C. Kress practices in the areas of civil litigation, criminal defense and personal injury. Margaret M. Simok practices in the areas of family law (divorce, support, custody, relocation and protection from abuse), disability law, employment law, administrative law, and commercial and telecommunications law.

We have structured our law firm this way intentionally. With each attorney limiting his or her practice to a small number of interrelated practice areas, our attorneys have developed a heightened level of experience and knowledge of those practice areas. This allows us to provide a premium service to our clients.

We offer the services of attorneys with knowledge in all of these areas. Working as a team, we can handle any legal issue that may arise.

Four Credos

When it comes to client service, our law firm has four credos:

1) Thorough preparation. For everything we do, we prepare. Even though most cases settle out of court, we prepare every case as if we were going to trial. If we have to go to trial, we are ready; the other side will usually give us a better settlement offer if they know that we are ready, willing and prepared to face them in court.

2) Hard work. If we have to, we will work around the clock.

3) We fight for you, the client. We are not there to make friends with opposing counsel. We will not go along to get along. We will not allow the other side to offer anything less than what you deserve.

4) Client service. You are not a number. You are not "just another case." Retain us, and you get real attention from us. We will do everything necessary to ensure your satisfaction with our work.

If this sounds like the kind of law firm you want, call us today. We are ready to work for you.
