This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

A GREAT Lawyer

I am incredibly grateful for the dedication and care my lawyer put into my case. Some people do their work simply because it is their job, but he handled my case with true conscience, commitment, and integrity. He was always friendly and easy to talk to, which made the process much less stressful,... while still remaining highly professional at every step. I truly felt heard and supported throughout. I want to thank the lawyer who recommended him to me, believing he would be the one to solve my case. I am very glad I listened. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome or representation.

Excellent Experience

To sum up Jake Cecere's services; he made everything easier. Easier to understand, easier to navigate, and easier to trust that I had someone in my corner through a difficult time. If ever I need assistance again, I will use Cecere Law.

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.
