Terrific attorneys, who represented me for years

The Balestriere firm represented my family on a complex series of transactions, with highly adversarial opponents, and did a terrific job. They are always available to talk, even on weekends, and fight very hard for their clients.

Waste of time and money

Very dissatisfied.. Eager to take your money but took over a month to look at my case and then gave inaccurate advice. Beware.

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.
