Civil suit.

I highly recommend Matt Mangino for anyone in need of legal representation in a civil matter, from the start, he was professional knowledgeable and genuinely dedicated to my case. He kept me informed every step of the way, explained complex legal matters clearly and always made time to answer my ques...tions, even spoke with me on the weekends. His attention to detail and strategic approach gave me peace of mind throughout the process. I truly felt that my best interests were being looked after. I’m very grateful for his hard work and support. Kellie

Exceptional Attorney

Mr. Mangino is as real as it gets.

I would highly recommend Attorney Mangino. He was straight upfront with us. He told us that it would be highly unlikely that he could help us and when should consider saving our money. We were in dire need of help for our son and only ask if he would give it his best effort. He did more than that. He... was extremely helpful keeping us abreast of all developments both good and bad. He was quick and prompt with all the contacts and meeting he needed to set up. In three days He accomplished what my sons two high powered Pittsburgh Law Firms could not do in a one YEAR span. I thanked him, but I can't express to Mr. Mangino how grateful we truly are. He saved our sons live, We truly believe that. To be honest I don't believe anyone else could have gotten our results. Mr. Mangino's experiences throughout his work over the years has made him very qualified in many legal areas. Mr. Mangino, if you read this I want to personally Thank You again.

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.
