Great Defense Lawyer

John is super experienced. He knows how the system works and he explains things clearly. I hired him personally and I have recommended him on three separate occasions to friends who needed a lawyer. In all cases the result was better than expected. John is great combination of professional and person...able. I whole heartedly recommend John Amabile.

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.
