Passalaqua

I hired Nick to help with my divorce settlement. Nick was very reliable and affordable. He took care of everything from the moment I walked through the door to the time the papers were signed. He was up front and honest about what to expect throughout the whole process. I would definitely recommend h...iring Nick or someone from Passalaqua and associates

Attorney Review

I retained Passalacqua and Associates to handle my real estate closing recently and was extremely satisfied with the service I received. They were efficient and responsive throughout the entire process making the closing a smooth transaction while keeping all parties informed along the way. I would d...efinitely recommend them for anyone seeking attorney services.

Great service!

We used Nick for a closing on one of our properties and a legal issue with a contractor. Above his utmost professionalism, he communicated and updated us throughout the entire process. He made the process so easy and straight forward. We are beyond pleased and will continue to use Nick in the future!...

Great attorney, friendly and responsive.

I work in entertainment and contacted Nick to help with a business contract that was broken. Even before I hired him he was friendly and responsive. He reviewed the contract in question and explained clearly all of my options and possible actions/outcomes. This allowed me to make a decision for mysel...f as to how I should proceed. He was clear and upfront about his fees. I decided to pursue legal action using Nick and I'm happy I did. He handled everything for me and saw the situation through to the end. He would update me every couple weeks as the situation developed until I eventually received a check in the mail for the amount of my broken contract. He took the stress out of a stressful situation. For me, I felt more confident and comfortable knowing I had a qualified attorney standing behind me. His fee was fair and reasonable and absolutely worth it. I would recommend attorney Passalacqua to anyone in need of legal help. I believe he will advise people fairly and honestly with their best interest in mind.

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.

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.
