Highly Recommend!

I would highly recommend Al Durante and his entire staff at Durante Bock & Tota. His paralegal, Josephine Clarke, was a pleasure to work with beginning with our first conversation. Both Al and Josephine made me feel completely comfortable at all times and were highly responsive each and every time ...I called or email them. My uncontested divorce was a smooth as ever! I could write the book on it now and have sent several friends to Al for the same services. The entire process took less than 3 mos. from start to final divorce and I never even set foot in Court. This is the way to do it!!! I worked with Al to write the agreement that I felt the most comfortable with. He explained every question I had, and I never felt insecure or awkward for one moment. Anyone going through this would be wise to see Al. The speed of the process and the very reasonable cost was unmatched. I even used their Real Estate attorney, to close on my house as we finalized the divorce.

Excellent Attorney Who Helped Secure My Divorce

Al Durante and his paralegal, Josephine Clarke, were excellent in helping me to secure my uncontested divorce. After attempting to complete all of the paperwork myself unsuccessfully, they helped me to dot the i's and cross the t's at a reasonable price and obtained the judgment from the court.

Competent and polite

Ordinarily I do not write reviews. However, there is sometimes a rule to the exception. I was highly impressed with Mr. Durante and his team. I had a personal injury case and he was very real and up front which I respect regarding what can and cannot be done. He kept me informed about my case and alw...ays requested my feedback on how I would like to proceed in my case. He was not cunning or superficial which I respected. I would highly recommend Mr. Durante and his team as they are extremely knowledgeable, effective, and efficient. Mr. Durante's law firm has integrity.

Al Durante

We engaged Albert Durante to defend our 17 year old boy from 3 serious misdemeanor charges resulting from a one-time youthful lapse of judgment. While the charges were in our view excessive given our son’s intent, character and the circumstance of the specific act, we faced a determined county pro...secution. Mr. Durante's job was to craft a resolution somewhere between our desire to reduce the charges and the prosecutors desire to stand firm. Given the nature of the offense, Mr. Durante persuaded us that we needed to accept a single misdemeanor charge in exchange for ensuring that our college-bound boy would not be saddled with probation. In the end, that strategy prevailed and this unfortunate incident is behind us. Mr. Durante did a fine job of leading us through this difficult process and securing the best result possible.

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.
