Efficiency and Effectiveness

Michael D. is an outstanding lawyer. He handled my case professionally and was able to reduce multiple charges to just one violation. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and dedicated attorney. Once he understands your case, he knows exactly how to handle it. I barely had to... ask about my case because I was fully convinced and confident that he would get the best possible outcome, and that’s exactly what happened. I’m very grateful for his hard work and professionalism.

Beyond Thankful

I can’t thank Michael Disciarro enough for everything he did. He worked as hard as he could to make sure I had the best possible outcome for my case. He responds extremely quickly, professional, straight to the point, and I wouldn’t want anyone else to represent me. He always kept me informed on the ...process and I was never left unsure. If you are looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable, compassionate, responsive, and someone who will genuinely fight for you, I cannot recommend him highly enough. He is exactly the kind of lawyer you want

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.
