Mr. Belizia did a great job for me

Mr. Belizia was patient with all my questions and was always prompt in returning my phone calls. I had four seperate charges and he got two dismissed and the other two were dropped to lesser charges. I am very grateful and happy I went with Mr. Belizia, and I recommend him to anyone who needs help.

Professional Attorney

I was convicted of a criminal offense and facing a lenghty prison term, Mr. Bellizia, who represented me, is an experienced ex prosecutor, who worked hard and deligently to shorter my sentence. He gives 110 % to your case and keeps you informed on all matters that incur. I felt that Mr. Bellizia was ...like a family member fighting for me in my corner, that's the kind of representation you get with him.

Put a Pro in your corner

Prosper is the guy you want in your corner! He is a Pro with the respect of his peers, Prosecutors and Judges alike. What I found refreshing about Prosper was that he handled my case as if it was personal. He kept me informed and involved me in his strategy for defense. During a family emergency, I c...ommitted a motor vehicle violation. He kept me aware of my options and with his guidance, legal experience and ability to enable people to listen, he effected a significant reduction in penalties. I was satisfied with the end result and would recommend you consider him in your corner.

I Highly Recommend Mr. Bellizia--He Cared About My Stepson's Case

After we fired our first attorney, Mr. Bellizia was hired and he personally went to the scene of my son's arrest and discovered it was not within 1000 of a School Zone. The state prosecutor lowered the charge to a 4th degree crime down from a 2nd degree crime and my step son is not going to jail. ... Mr. Bellizia is an excellent attorney.

Professional and Diligent Attorney

My youngest son had a drug problem. Mr. Bellizia took over the case after his first lawyer could not get the prosecutor to realize that prison was not an option for my son. Mr. Bellizia met with the prosecutor and convinced them to give my son a second chance and enrolled him in the PTI program (even... though his other lawyer said he would be rejected and had been rejected by the court). Mr. Bellizia appealed the rejection and my son got into PTI and then a drug program . I am so glad to have found Prosper for my son's case.

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.
