He is a joke.

He is a joke! I made appointment to talk about a case that I had then, at is then Lowell Massachusetts office. I was shocked as to what i heard comming out of his mouth. I'm shocked he's still practicing law!

excellent attorney

When I almost gave up on my case, Attorney Ishmael Thoronka worked tirelessly around the clock to get me positive results and at the end I was satisfied. His skills are exemplary.

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.
