My recent experience with Michael C. Giordano

Michael handled the sale of my primary residence. Michael displayed professionalism throughout the period of signing a contract of sale through the closing. Michael was attentive to my concerns, and kept me involved with any issues throughout the process. I hereby give Michael my highest recomme...ndation.

Michael is a Caring Professional

Thank God for Michael! Michael walked me through a sensitive guardianship process and helped me win the case. I am grateful for his experience, honesty, and integrity and he has become a good friend as well. I highly recommend Michael - he is very knowledgeable and caring and works with a passion fo...r those engaged in his services.

Knowledgeable and Trustworthy

Michael was very knowledgeable in regards to contracts and agreements. He was clear in his recommendations in how I handled the breach of contract. He also followed up to make sure he answered all of my questions.

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.
