When a lawyer needs a lawyer

Sometimes a lawyer needs a lawyer. Michael handled a matter for me and I could not have asked for more compassionate, thorough, and professional legal representation. It is with the utmost confidence, that as a satisfied client, I can recommend Michael wholeheartedly.

Posted by Gene V. | September 28, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

My attorney...

I am a single father of a sweet and kind 3 year old daughter. Unfortunately, the relationship didn't work out between her mother and I, and I knew from the start that it was going to be an uphill, if not, impossible battle for me to get anything more than the standard "visitation". Not only did Mi...chael negotiate for far more than I expected as my legal counsel, he was also an exceptional friend when my emotions got the best of me. These situations are never easy for families, nor the attorneys, but I feel extremely blessed, and I am forever thankful for mine!!!

Honest, Intelligent, Professional & Efficient

I was having issues with my ex-husband, we had an extremely tough divorce that lasted four years. I was referred to Mr. Catalanotto by a friend and before the initial consult was over he had already addressed all my questions and concerns and within a VERY short time, Mr. Catalanotto had every issu...e with my ex-husband resolved. I then was selling my home that all my children where born and raised in, which was extremely emotional for me and Mr. Catalanotto and his office staff were very compassionate and were always available when i called with a question or concern. The sale of my home went very smoothly. I am very pleased with Mr. Catalanotto. I would definitely use him again and highly recommend his services. Mr. Catalanotto and his amazing staff handled two separate legal matters for me and made me feel so calm and relaxed while doing so. **EXCELLENT SERVICE & EXPERIENCE, EXTREMELY SATISFIED**

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.
