This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Amazing team, tip-top efficiency and great availability.

Heavensent!!! My experience with DePasquale's team was truly flawless. They thoroughly explained all the details of my case in layman's terms. I was promptly informed of my best options without wasting any time. They are a Bilingual & Multicultural team who cares about helping people. Without con...sulting them I would have made plenty of mistakes at the courthouse, and my case would have escalated. I was in Florida when I first contacted them, and without hesitation they spent the time to walk me through the ins & outs of how to get my case dismissed. Very friendly and professional work ethic. Thank you so very much DePasquale's team!!!!

Personal injury lawyer | Nov 28

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I fully endorse Jim DePasquale as an excellent civil (plaintiff's side) and criminal defense attorney. Not only is he highly intelligent, he has an unquestionable work ethic that manifests in successful results in the courtroom. I've discussed many legal issues with him and I've seen him win in battle. Nothing intimidates him, not the facts, the Judge, nothing. If I were in a legal bind, I wouldn't hesitate to hire Jim and you shouldn't either."

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.
