Professional law team for personal injury case

Burt Polito and his team are professional and kept my personal injury case on track from our first meeting, until he settled the case out of court. There was always great communication and he and his staff really listen and kept me informed of all developments. Burt is a very smart and honest attorn...ey who I will use again if needed and don’t hesitate to recommend. I am very happy with the settlement he helped negotiate.

Happy Client

Attorney Polito was very professional and caring from the moment we spoke. He was very happy to answer any and all questions I had. He made me feel so comfortable and calm. I couldn’t be happier and would recommend Attorney Polito and his staff to anyone in need of legal assistance.

Amazing!

Humbert Polito was very passionate and caring when dealing with my case. He truly cared about my injuries and was very understanding.

Professional and very knowledgeable

I had a very good experience working with Attorney Polito and his staff. My case was not a very serious one, nor did hold opportunity for a large pay day. However, the staff always made me feel that my case was the top priority when interacting with them, and they always knew the latest status of t...he case! They were kind, professional and empathetic! I would recommend them to any of my family and friends in need of a personal injury lawyer.

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.
