Sal is a wonderful lawyer/person!

I have always found Sal to be trustworthy, responsive, and knowledgeable regarding any issue I've had. Sal always keeps me informed. I am never left guessing. He is completely awesome! Thank you!

Great Lawyer

Sal is a great personal injury lawyer. I feel Sal helped me out the best he could and always had me in his best interest. I feel that Sal treated me as he would treat his own family members when it came down to making my final decision about my case. I would recommend Sal to anyone who needs a person...al injury lawyer to call him right away. Thank you Sal .

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.
