I have worked with Carlo on a few matters over the years, and know him to be a creative, skillful advocate for the consumer. We recently teamed up on a high-profile appeal on an important consumer protection subject, and Carlo's work at the trial and appellate level was top-notch. If you're in need of a consumer protection or bankruptcy lawyer in Northeast PA, Carlo's your man.
