excellent attorney

Peter Bongiorno was amazing in handling my personal injury case. He was very responsive and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. I always felt like he had my best interests at heart. He worked very hard to get me the best outcome possible. I’m really grateful for his support and... would recommend him to anyone facing a personal injury situation.

Always gets the job done

I hired Peter Bongiorno for my nursing home negligence case involving a family member. He was professional, compassionate, and truly understood what we were going through. He guided us through every step and fought hard for justice. Thanks to him, we were able to hold the nursing home accountable. I ...highly recommend him for cases involving elder abuse or neglect.

Family Nursing Home Neglect Case

Peter Bongiorno helped my family through one of the most difficult times of our lives. We discovered our loved one had been neglected in a nursing home, and we felt overwhelmed and unsure of what to do next. From our first conversation, Peter was calm, knowledgeable, and deeply understanding of what ...we were going through. He didn’t just focus on the legal side—he genuinely cared about our situation. He guided us with patience, answered every question, and kept us updated every step of the way. Peter fought hard to make sure the facility was held responsible, and in the end, he delivered a result that brought our family both justice and peace of mind. I truly believe we couldn’t have gone through this without him. He’s someone you want on your side when you’re standing up for someone who can’t speak for themselves.

  • 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.
