The Best Law firm period

My name is William Dunn and in 2007 after a prior session with a different law firms a friend suggested that I meet with the Rotolo Law Group. I then met personally with Victor Rotolo and what a devine blessing this meeting was. Victor wanted to represent our family on a tradgy that had recently occu...red. The case was very complicated and took a long time. Six years later the Rotolo Law Group prevailed. Most did not want to take the case on, as it eventually became a litigation against the State of New Jersey in Superior Court. Who wants to sue the government? Well Victor Rotolo did! All documents were forwarded to me, and Woody Cornog and Victor worked togther on the case. Victor's lovely wife Cindy (office manager) made sure copies of all documents were forwarded for my review in a timely manner. All work on this case was handeled professionally, in a timely manner fom my perspective. I can only say, I thank the good lord above for providing this law group to represent my family. This law firm is truly a great group of individuals and the professionalism is beyond all others in my opinion. In closing I would highly recomend this law group to anyone for any type of legal matter. Respectfully: www.williamdunnauthor.com

Exceptional on every level!

What makes Kearns Rotolo Law distinctive and the only Firm to hire: Responsive, respectful, compassionate, caring, patient, understanding, focused, kind, authentic, hard working, impactful, unwavering, professional, impeccably dressed, available 24/7 (including weekends), calm demeanor, composed, wor...k ethic second to none, unflappable, strong networks within the community, years of experience, high standards, best in class, and excellent representation. From the very first call I made to Victor, to meeting the impressive defense team, to the numerous texts I sent to Victor, Tony, and Chris (all who ALWAYS replied in a timely manner), to the professionalism of the entire staff, my many phone calls looking for updates as I was frantic, sobbing, and looking for answers, to … everything in between. Kearns Rotolo Law came together seamlessly from that very first call to the end result of attaining an (initial) unattainable goal in our case. Kearns Rotolo Law do not raise the bar, they are the bar!! Exceptional on every level. I want to underscore the fact that Victor taking my call on a Sunday, listening to me as calmly as he did, and immediately setting things in motion that very same day speaks volumes. I would not hire ANY other Firm. Undeniably, the BEST there is.

Victor Rotolo and his firm are TOP

Vic and his firm left no stone unturned when helping us with our criminal case and following civil suit. They draw from decades of experience, and it is apparent in everything that they do. I don't know how our family would have gotten through this tragedy without them. Thank you Mr. Rotolo, Woody ...and the whole team for an outstanding job and for always being available to help us get through the hard stuff.

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.
