Terrific Lawyer!

I had an issue with PennDOT and Mr. Lackatos was able to have the issue resolved with a simple hearing. It's a thrill watching him in the courtroom fight for you. I would hire him again for any legal issue. Always accessible, superior knowledge and an excellent paralegal who's as smart as he is. Very... highly recommended.

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.
