Excellent lawyer in every way

I hired Tom Corletta for two DUI crimes I committed that should have been an automatic felony. Tom knows both Monroe and Ontario County and the ins and outs. And it was obvious they knew him. He did a lot of work for me at reasonable cost. I have two misdemeanors and I have a job I love. I know he wo...uld have come and helped me at 3 am if I needed him. He told me this. He worked with the DA and judge and after medical documentation was shown to them from my psychiatrist I am extremely happy with the outcome. Thanks Tom. I highly recommend him

Gets the job done!

Mr. Corletta really knows his stuff. When he is hired for a case, he immediately gets the ball rolling on dismissal/reduction of charges. He works hard and from my experience has a very high success rate. I do not understand why people give him negative reviews because he really goes to bat for his c...lients. He is tough as nails and takes no crap and that is what a lawyer is supposed to be about!

Excellent representation!

My experience with Tom Corletta was professional and he delivered results. He relieved my stress in the situation that I had encountered with his experienced knowledge of how to handle both my charges . I was arrested within a five year period with two dwi tickets. I called upon Tom and he immedi...ately responded and started to work on my cases. He's the best. Both charges are were reduced to traffic infractions. Huge accomplishment. He is brilliant, honest and fair. He gets the results you would hope for. I would never use anyone else but Tom Corletta.

Run. Do not even bother

I needed a divorce attorney and called this person. Mind you i am an immigrant and obviously speak with an accent, but i've never heard anyone be more degrading and disrespectful as he was. He was very rude and all he wanted was money. I don't know who writes the reviews here, but if you read reviews... anywhere else they will back my story. If i had a chance to give him zero stars i would!

Replied last November 11, 2016

It is difficult to respond to a review posted nearly 3 months ago that I was just notified about. It is even more difficult to respond to a review written by someone who does not give his/her name. This person claims, notwithstanding the review, that he/she hired me. I have no such client. This person gives no specifics as to how I was allegedly rude, and claims they are an immigrant with an accent, with covers about 60% of my client base. What that is supposed to mean, I have no idea. With respect to money, that would only have been discussed if I was asked about it. As a divorce attorney, I am required to tell clients what the state rules are regarding payment of legal fees in divorce matters, and that there must be a written Retainer Agreement. I never spoke to this person in my office. If this person was somehow offended by that, that is their problem. I am required by law and ethical rules to disclose this information. I suspect I also told this person I would not consult over the telephone. The reason for this is that I do not want to give incorrect legal advice I could be held responsible for, without being able to verify all the facts. This requires an office conference. I never met with this person. I never represented this person. I am at a loss as to how he/she can review me. If this person wishes to discuss their review with me face to face, and disclose their identity, I would be happy to do so. I will await their response.

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.
