J. Manuel Acevedo - highly recommended

When I looked directly into the eyes of Attorney Acevedo, I knew with certaintly that he is a very trustworthy, honest and authentic person. He spoke to me with a rare form of wisdom, kindness, and professionalism. Not only did his advice make sense to me, but it was exactly the solution that I need...ed even though I didn't previously even know existed. He represented me with a very personal matter, and delivered me a very quick and effective resolution. For that, I am very appreciative.

Compassionate and professional

When I found Mr. Acevedo on I was a little concerned if he could help me with a name change issue. From the moment I met him I felt is compassion and understanding. As the time went on you knew he was doing his very best to assist. He consistently kept me updated, available by email and returned ca...lls promptly. He was always professional and I would highly recommend his services.

Great Attorney

Mr. Acevedo was an excellent and very knowledgeable attorney. He assisted me with my divorce involving two children. My case involved a combination of business law and family law. Mr. Acevedo not only explained everything to me, but he relentlessly helped me with dealing with everything that I was go...ing through. Whether it was personal or business oriented, he always knew what to say to calm me down. I greatly appreciate all that he did for me and my two daughters. I would highly recommend him for any legal matters.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
