I felt I was well represented.

I was referred to Mr. DePaolis by a colleague after I was involved in a car accident. After meeting Mr. DePaolis, I had confidence that I would be well represented by him and that he had my best interest in mind. He kept in contact with me and spelled out my options. This case is now settled and I w...ould contact him again, should I need to down the road.

great lawyer

Mr DePaolis and his assistant Janelle were most helpful in an automobile accident case where I sustained injuries as a passenger. He was professional, compassionate and was able to navigate the copious amounts of medical records and claims over a three year span of time.

Excellent representation in personal injury case

Last year, I was hit by a drunk driver who was driving without a license and my car was totaled. Thankfully, my injuries were limited, but my medical bills exceeded what I expected and the trauma of being hit stayed with me. Even though my case was far more small than the types of cases Mr. DePaolis ...normally takes on, Mr. DePaolis took on my case graciously. He took away the stress of dealing with the insurance and medical companies so I could focus on my recovery. He was a tough negotiator with the insurance adjuster, and I happy with my settlement. Throughout the entire process, Mr. DePaolis and his staff were very helpful, responsive, and kind. I highly recommend him and his team.

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.
