Posted by Scott | August 18, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Expungement

Excellent knowledgeable attorney.

Mike got me thru the quagmire of PA agencies failing to follow the law outlined by an expungement I had done in another state.

Posted by Justin | September 20, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Gun Law

Superb!

You simply can not beat Michael Giaramita when it comes to gun law! Mike is exceptionally professional and EXTREMELY knowledgeable. He is also very quick to respond and easy to communicate with. Mr. Giaramita prepared a very detailed NFA (National Firearms Act) trust for me in order to allow me to... procure federally regulated firearms, specifically a short barreled rifle and a 'silencer'. He made it very easy for me to set up by providing a template with the information that he required from me, along with explanations of everything in greater detail. After submitting my information to him, I promptly received the trust document from him. However, much to my dismay, I noticed that I had made a mistake in some of the information that I submitted to Mike, and notified him of the correction. I am not exaggerating, he responded with a corrected and amended document within minutes. I simply could not ask for better service, and will most certainly be using Giaramita law in the future should I require legal services.

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.
