Child Abuse 10%

A child abuse lawyer understands issues related to child abuse and neglect, and child physical or emotional abuse claims can arise in a variety of contexts and motives. Sometimes the young victim tells a relative, who then files a lawsuit; at other times, a government agency such as Child Protective Services may press charges.

Grateful that he took the time to listen

I contacted Mr. Filiberto on behalf of my mother who had received a referral from her retiree legal plan services. Mr. Filiberto outreached to me within minutes of my inquiry. He was personable, professional, knowledgeable and patient with my questions. He was unable to accept my case because he do...es not handle divorce matters, but his advice on my mother's options helped us to better understand her legal position and allowed me to explain options for next steps. I was very appreciative of his patience and the time he took to respond to my inquiry. I will certainly keep him in mind for other legal matters.

Patient and helpful

Richard contacted me shortly after I posted my traffic case on Nolo. After hearing the details of my case, he explained that I may not need to hire a lawyer although he could simply get my money. He was patient and explained what are my options over the phone. I went to court and managed to lower the... ticket. Although I didn't end up hiring him and went to the court myself (this was what he recommended), his professional behavior and patience in hearing my case and explaining the options were very helpful. Thanks Richard!

Reliable and helpful

He helped me stay calm in a stressful state and made the outcome of my situation much better then it would have been without him by my side.

Professional & Helpful

Richard took the time to review and research my situation. I had gotten a ticket for being on my cell phone and feared the points on the license would cause my insurance to go up. He was early and professional when meeting me for the court date, and had many defenses prepared to get me the best possi...ble outcome. Richard was able to get my ticket completely dismissed! Without him there to talk to the town prosecutor I probably would have had to pay a fine and could have gotten points on my license. I would use him again, but hopefully won't have to and have already recommended him to friends and family!

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.
