Michael Camporeale

Mr Camporeale helped us through a difficult time after my mother had passed away suddenly with no will. We were lost and had no idea what to do and Mr Camporeale successfully helped us navigate the probate process and administrative distribution of her estate. He clearly explained the process and gav...e accurate timelines and was very straightforward making it a less stressful process

Mr. Michael Camporeale

Mr. Camporeale was recommended to me by a friend at work. She said he was well-read and up to date with the current revisions . I wanted my homes put into a trust for my children . He was articulate, knowledgeable and caring. His staff is also more than courteous and helpful.

Great Lawyer!

We hired Mr. Camporeale for assistance with long term care planning for my mother after my father passed away. He was very helpful in providing answers to our many questions and provided help with the complicated process of applying for Medicaid. He has been with us every step of the way and we are... very thankful for all his support.

Grandmothers Medicaid

I met with Michael because I was having trouble getting Medicaid for my grandmother. Michael was able to walk me through all of the steps that I needed to take and made it very easy and clear. Michael was able to help me get Medicaid and attain the proper care for her.

"I endorse this lawyer. He is an outstanding attorney, very caring to his clients, possesses high ethical standards, and works very hard to get the best possible result for his clients.

Estate planning lawyer | Jun 21

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I have met Michael through my brother as they went to law school together. Michael Camporeale has always been a knowledgable, smart, and trustworthy attorney who gets fantastic results for his clients. My family trusted Michael to create Wills for my parents. As my parents aged we again turned to Michael to put my parents real property into a trust so that our assets would be safe should my parents health fail. However what has been most impressive about Michael is how he worked tirelessly to get my father's Medicaid application approved. Despite 3 administrative denials and 4-5 required appearances to "court" Michael would not take no for an answer and he prevailed! You need an attorney who can cut through bureaucratic red tape to get results; Michael Camporeale gets results. I have referred several of my own clients to Mike, and each time they called me back to thank me for the introduction. Call Mike and let him help you or your family."

"I'm a lawyer, and I entrusted him to represent my parents. I went to law school with Michael and worked on some matters with him. When my elderly parents required advanced estate planning it was Michael who I retained for my parents. Like I said, I'm a lawyer and I entrusted him to represent my parents. need I say more?"

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.
