Bertin Emmons, Senior Counsel and Vice President, Sovereign Bank

Sovereign Bank uses Richard Gentilli and his firm for a number of complex commercial matters including litigation and insolvency. I am particlarly impressed with the high quality of legal services that the firm provides, and the reasonable cost of those services. I have found the professionalism an...d responsiveness of the firm to be equal to or greater than much larger firms that charge much higher fees.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
