This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

On Time, On Point, Followed Through When We Needed Timely Response

When our backs were against a wall, Justin was recommended by our counsel to build a timely strategy within a nuanced procedural environment. It seemed too much to ask of anyone, given the time-line. In addition to those time constraints and the nature of our case, Justin proved himself and his fir...m to be everything our counsel had predicted. Good work often is lost by the principle that only squeaky wheels get attention. I could not let Justin's work for us be unaccounted for. We hope we never need you again, but in this litigious environment we all live in, it's nice to have access to a professional like you. Thank you, Cordello Law. Sincerely, Benjamin Syracuse, N.Y.

Caring, compassionate lawyer

I met with Justin and before even talking specifically about my concerns, he made sure that I felt safe and confident that he would handle my concerns with the highest regard. The entire interaction thereafter was treated with my best interests as priority, and I would absolutely recommend Justin Cor...dello to anyone who is in a workplace situation. He will take great care of you!

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.
