From my initial consultation with him through all the court proceedings he was extremely informative about every aspect of my case.

Daughter's Burns Over One Third of Her Body

My daughter was seriously burned over a third of her body, by a faulty eyebrow wax kit. She suffered 2nd and 3rd degree burns on her face, neck, chest and arms. Philip Rizzuto, was so professional, kind and helpful in guiding us through this difficult process. We couldn't have done it without him. He always put my daughter's health and wellbeing first. I am a Registered Nurse, so I was very through in my search for an attorney, to represent my daughter. I wouldn't use anyone else, but Philip Rizzuto, to take care of me and my family.
