Finally...a Lawyer I can trust!

I recently hired Alfonso to work on a real estate deal. He communicates well, meets deadlines and delivers what he promises. He's a true professional!

One of the Best!

As a priest in South Philadelphia, I hear lots of gossip and chatter about every professional in the neightborhood. However, I can honestly say that there has been no gossip thus far about Al Gambone in terms of his practice or his reputation. Al Gambone is a top notch attorney who has advised us ...in a number of parish and property matters. He has tremendous expertise and knowledge in many aspects of the law and that truly matters when there is an urgent need for advise and/or action. But second only to his abilities and talents, is the man himself. Al is trustworthy, caring, and totally dedicated to Christian ideals, his family, his neighborhood, and his work. I honestly cannot think of anyone who is a better example of what an attorney should be; nor of anyone stronger to lean on when one is in need. Trust him! You won't be disappointed. And if your need is not one of his particular disciplines of the law, he can certainly direct to you to someone who can!

Excellent Lawyer

A few years ago my Father passed away. My family and I needed legal advice. My Mother and I visited with Alfonso and he explained what we needed to do, to move forward with my Father’s will and what we needed to do to honor my Father’s last wishes. Alfonso is a caring and compassionate man. He assur...ed my Mother and I that we would get through this. He explained in full detail what was expected of us and how to go about getting my Father’s will registered and how to settle his estate. Something that can be quite upsetting was made easy to do thanks to Alfonso taking the time to explain in detail all that was expected of us as a family and executors of a will. Alfonso made himself available to answer questions that would arise within our family. Alfonso is an honest trustworthy person who will tell it like it is and my family and I are grateful for all the hard work he has done for us.

Lack of detail, highly sensitized

Attorney is not always available and when he is, you sense that you are wasting his time. Attorney lacks detail and does not complete tasks effectively. For example, we had two witnesses that were willing to testify. The attorney knew this but it wasn’t until we “refreshed” his memory that he said he... wanted to speak to them. Additionally, when interviewing the witnesses, he did not inform them when and where to go for the hearing. All of this follow-up was done by his clients. Furthermore, he didn’t apprise us of what to expect prior to hearings. Every time we had to ask him these relatively simple questions, and he always seemed bothered by them. The relationship culminated with a very provocative phone call from the attorney after the proceedings were finished. Earlier that day, we had spoken on the phone and I asked for an itemized invoice of work performed, which most attorneys do and rightfully so to keep track of their hours. The attorney said that he would send a letter to us with this information. Not five minutes later, he calls back fuming, angry, saying that we did not appreciate the work he did and that had it not been for him, we would have faced extreme consequences. His return phone call was charged with fury and was extremely unprofessional. Us, new to the criminal system, were completely reliant on his expertise on the process. It wasn’t until that phone call that we were able to see that any and all questions we had asked regarding the process, he mistook them as us doubting his ability to perform at his job. I was literally unable to answer him on the phone due to his forceful tone, attitude and my utter shock at how he chose to end our business relationship. From this, we can assume that he did not keep track of his hours of work and this was his way of getting out of doing something he did not want to do. I do not recommend this attorney to anyone. Very unprofessional, highly sensitized, and not client-oriented in any sense of the word.

"It is my sincere pleasure to endorse Alfonso Gambone. I am an attorney, a civil litigator, who was empanelled to serve on a criminal jury in Philadelphia last year. Mr. Gambone was representing the defendant in a particularly sensitive trial. Mr. Gambone's presentation was clear and persuasive. Although the facts were stacked against his client, Mr. Gambone put on a compelling defense. Ultimately, Mr. Gambone succeeded in raising reasonable doubt in the minds of several jurors that prevented his client from being convicted. I highly recommend his counsel."
