Personal injury

I am very grateful to have been referred to Polito & Associates by a friend. I have nothing but the highest praise for how Attorney Bert Polito handled my personal injury case. From beginning to end, I was impressed with the respect that was given to me. Bert was honest, straight-forward, informative..., professional, and compassionate. I was very pleased with the outcome of the settlement. I would highly recommend Polito & Associates!

Great experience

I did not have Bert as my lawyer at the beginning of my case. I had a previous lawyer who I knew for a long time start my case. Turns out that his firm was not focused on personal injury but tried to take my case anyway. Turns out that he felt turning me to Bert was a better option. I was glad to hav...e Bert and his Firm take my case because overall the experience with him was great. He and his firm were open about all of what was going on between any person or company they had to contact. Very clear and concise about defining any technical terms. I would highly recommend Bert to anyone who is in need of a personal injury claim lawyer. He was able to get the numbers I originally wanted and some to spare.

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.
