Excellent

Mr. Dezio represented me in a complex estate litigation. His advice was sound and work product high grade. Through his efforts we able to settle the case without the expense and uncertainty of a trial.

"An Outstanding Attorney"

I wanted only to update my will, but Mr. Dezio recommended that I also establish a trust, based on my particular situation and status. It's the perfect vehicle for me. At his recommendation, I also completed other documents, including an advance medical directive and durable general power of attorn...ey. While he provided draft documents in each case, he very graciously accepted appropriate suggestions for modifying them to suit my needs. He has a very extensive knowledge of the applicable law. Also, he provided me with sound practical advice on personal questions that I posed. He has a warm, engaging personality and made me feel very comfortable. I'm just delighted with the product that he helped me develop. I highly recommend him to anyone needing advice on estate matters. When the time comes that I must update my own, I plan to use his services again.

Estate Settlement

Dick Dezio was a tremendous help to my family and me during a difficult time following a death in the family. Dick effectively and professionally handled all matters pertaining to the settlement of the outstanding estate. His knowledge and perseverance were essential in getting through a difficult a...nd time consuming process as efficiently as possible. He was always willing to answer questions and provided solid recommendations when asked. His communication skills were excellent.

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.

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.
