Michael, I have been requesting to speak to you about the case progress, but unsuccessfully. Your office staff has been saying they will pass on the requests, yet no contact . Please kindly reach out. Thanks.

Very Smart

My son had a very complicated case. Before allongo we hire 3 other lawyers who never told us about a defense that won the case. After the first 20 minutes talking to mr Allongo he already knew what to do. He won the case and saved my son.

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.
