Stay Away from Attorney John Longo – Unprofessional and Unreliable

I had an extremely disappointing experience with Attorney John Longo at Longo Law. I initially reached out to him to file a civil suit. Mr. Longo assured me he would take my case, even going so far as to sign an engagement agreement and sell me a big dream. However, shortly after that, he completely ...disappeared. As a lawyer, this kind of behavior is not only unprofessional but completely unacceptable. Mr. Longo stopped responding to emails, texts, and calls — showing a total lack of decency and respect for his clients. I will be filing a formal complaint with the bar association regarding his conduct. I strongly urge anyone considering Longo Law to stay far away. Save yourself the frustration, wasted time, and disappointment.

Knowledgeable, efficient and honest

After receiving a summons regarding past debt, I inquired with several RI lawyers that specialize in debt. I found Mr. Longo to be the most knowledgeable, by far. I met with and hired Mr. Longo to address the situation. He handled it in a very timely manner and was successful. He also refunded me par...t of the retainer fee due to the case being resolved so quickly. I will hire him again if I ever need help with anything regarding his specialties. I strongly recommend Mr. Longo

Very Helpful and attentive.

I recently met with Mr. Longo for a consultation on a summons I received. He was very informative, offered tons of advice and he even drew a diagram to help explain how debt collection works. He even offered to meet me on a weekend day, which works great when you're a busy mom who works full time. I... would recommend him to anyone who needs representation and advice.

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.
