Posted by anonymous | April 19, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Life saver

I got pulled over for driving without insurance, stupid decision on my part of course. I luckily didn't get arrested, but got 5 tickets, my car towed, license suspended .. The list goes on. I thought for sure I'd be stuck with a misdemeanor and a bunch of fines.. Mr. Calabrese really took the time to... make me feel comfortable, made sure he had every detail and really saved my butt when the court date came. All tickets but 1 dropped, no points on my license and only have to pay 140 bucks!!! You'd be silly not to hire this man, I would recommend him to anyone and everyone.

attentive!

I hired Gennaro (partially because he works for Kindlon and Shanks Associates but out of the members of that firm I like Gennaro the best). He is incredibly attentive and pays close attention to detail. I strongly recommend Gennaro for ANY civil rights case! This guy knows the law!

This attorney is incredibly helpful!

I am so lucky I found Gennaro. He gave me good advice and made me feel confident that he would handle my case. If you ever get a DWI - Hire Gennaro Calabrese!!

This attorney is amazing

I never thought I would need to hire an attorney but as life has it -I did- I came to Kindlon Shanks and worked with Gennaro. He respected my concerns, he really listened to all of the details, and helped me get passed my situation. I was shocked that he really did care and I felt like he wanted to s...pend the time representing me!! I DEFINITELY recommend Gennaro. If you want results and the comfort of a good attorney- choose Gennaro!! Thank you Mr. Calabrese.

Current Client Opinion (criminal cases)

Gennaro Calabrese handled my criminal case in such a way that I never had to worry about the courts; I could concentrate on my family problems. I am a nervous wreck (my case was picked up by the national news) and he "did the talking" for me with the prosecutor and the judge. Further, he is curren...tly a member and team player at a well-respected, Albany law firm, Kindlon & Associates.

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.
