Client Satisfaction

Mr. Trichilo handled my workers compensation case from start to finish. From day one and throughout the two plus years Mr.Trichilo made me feel like his number one client. He handled all the fillings and correspondences in a timely and professional manner while at the same time keeping me updated on... the case as it progressed. At the end negotiated a very favorable settlement.

Satisfaction!

I appreciate the time, energy and effort that Benjamin Trichilo put into my case. He demonstrated superior knowledge for his craft, and he always made himself available to insure that I understood actions to be taken, to include any developments on the part of opposing council. I can’t think of a t...ime when I had a question or circumstance to review with Ben were he wasn’t willing to take the time to insure I had a level of comfort for the situation. Might I suggest, Isn’t that what you want when your personal safety and well-being is a stake? Thank you Benjamin Trichilo for your support and guidance through this process, It is greatly appreciated. Christopher

Wise Guidance

Mr.Trichilo was incredibly professional from the very beginning of my case, not only with the legal matters but as well as the life issues that would effect me during the process. He constantly kept me abreast of of every turn in the case . His outstanding guidance coupled with his wise consul was p...ivotal in my positive outcome allowing myself and family to get the a fresh start.

Personal Injury Case

Attorney Trichilo did a awesome job. He got the amount of money back that I deserved in my case. My case was done in a timely manner and very professional setting.

Posted by Abdul | November 22, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Workers Compensation

Mr. Trichilo and his team has been super helpful, and Almost got 5 times more than what the company was offering at the begining

Mr. Trichilio has fought for my right, when the company stopped my benefits and offered me only a very small amount as settlement with which I was not going to be able to take care of my medical condition for one year, when I contacted Mr. Trichilo he has fought my case and settled my case with five ...times more than the initial offer. If you really want to fight your case, and you don't want your right to be wasted by your company I definitely recommend you to contact Mr. Trichilo to help you. Mr. Trichilo worked my case with Mr. Cadem, and Mr. Montagna they are the best team. Who can help you the way possible I give them 5 stars for proficiency, helpfulness.

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.
