A mist rude individual during a stressful

A most rude, harsh individual ti someone going through a devastating event in there life. He's very crude in relation to the event at had. Requesting numerous times confirmation of appointment, financial ability to pay repeatedly. Them being nothing but brutally rude. If your having a difficult time..., he will add to your stressor. Quite disrespectful, and money grubbing.

One of the Best Lawyers in the Buffalo Area

Mr. Colletta is very knowledgeable, professional and practical. I have been working with him on and off for several years and words cannot describe the sense of peace I have knowing he is my attorney. He has an impeccable way of predicting outcomes not matter what tool you use to address your legal ...needs and he will always make sure you understand all the implications (cost/risk/reward) of the path you chose. He will not push you to "go to court", waste your time or money. Just one consultation and your mind will be put as ease knowing he has your back.

Very good lawyer

Michael listened to everything me and my family had to say. He gave us great advice. I feel as though I would not have got the outcome I did without Michael being my lawyer! I truly am grateful my friend Jennifer referring me to this law office and that Michael was my lawyer.

Excellent, responsive, knowledgeable & patient!

I was referred to Mr. Colletta for a visitation dispute. Micheal was always professional, his patience was unwavering. He answered phone calls and emails and set up conferences to assure that the information going forward was correct and that we were on the same page. I am extremely grateful to Mic...hael Colletta for his guidance, support, and generosity in helping me get through my custody dispute. His paralegals were very understanding, helpful, and efficient as well. It has been a pleasure working with him, and his team!

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.
