Best of the best!

I hired Tom to help me with my case, for visitation for my sister. My case was very unheard of, yet Mr. Ercolano took on my case. He is a very caring lawyer. You can tell he loves what he does, and he is very good at his job! Tom was there for me all the way through my case. Thanks to him, I now see ...my kid sister all the time and we have an amazing relationships because of Tom. I couldn’t be more thankful for him. I trusted him 100%! If you are looking for a great lawyer, who will put in the work for you, hire Tom Ercolano!!

Great attorney

Tom is an exceptional attorney. He is extremely understanding of both the law and what issues are worth pursuing. I had him represent me during some very challenging times with my ex-wife during our divorce proceedings. He listened intently to my issues and provided the correct path forward, that ...resulted in the outcome I was looking for. He is a great resource to have on your side, and I would highly recommend him to assist in any matters you need.

Best Real Estate Lawyer Around!

Tom recently helped my husband and I as our real estate attorney for new construction. As this was also our first home purchase, Tom was sure to explain everything we didn’t understand, and even explained things we didn’t know we needed to know! He was very organized and detail oriented through the e...ntire process, making sure to touch base with us before all upcoming milestones. Tom made what can be a long, confusing and frustrating process very simple and enjoyable. Can’t recommend him enough!

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.
