About Massimo
Biography
I am an attorney, dual admitted to practice law, in Italy and in New York.
Due to my qualifications and diverse background, I successfully assist clients (individuals, small businesses and corporations) in Europe and in the U.S., on legal and tax matters relevant to business and international trade.
Passion, commitment and professionalism are the means I use in my cases to aim at the best possible result.
I am also a dedicated professional who gives back to the community by contributing monthly hours for pro-bono legal representation.

A truly professional
I had the chance to employ Massimo for reviewing the operating agreement of my LLC. There was an issue with one of the member that we want to buy out. Massimo was very responsive, accurate, and business oriented. No doubt I will hire him again in the future.
