Posted by Barbara | November 17, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Wills & Living Wills

Thanks to a Real Professional

From my first call to his office, I was pleased with the courtesy and professionalism I received over the phone. I actually spoke with Alfred Polizzotto. not office staff. He was extremely helpful in answering my questions over the phone. No other law office did that and I even encountered rudenes...s from other firms when I asked questions. I did call a few firms, since I do shop around for excellent customer service and expertise, especially for this sensitive matter of estate planning. I had my estate planning (will, living will, POA and Health Care Proxy) prepared and completed with him within a month. I was pleased with the recommendations he offered and I felt comfortable discussing these personal matters with him. He explained everything in layman's terms, so I was comfortable with his expertise. If you are looking to have your will, etc prepared, I would highly recommend Alfred Polizzotto. Thanks so much Alfred!.

I have and will continue to recommend him to my friends, Al is extremely knowledgeable in Elder Law which is important to Seniors.

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.
