This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Honest and Professional

I had a consultation with Daniel Serratelli about a tenant who stopped paying rent. Mr Serratelli advised me of my rights, prepared me for what action I could take against the tenant, and pointed me in the right direction. Mr. Serratelli was honest and professional and made me feel like my issue wa...s important to him. I felt comfortable and secure in my case thanks to Mr Serratelli's advice. I would recommend Mr. Serratelli to anyone who has legal needs. Thank you for all the help.

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.
