Absolutely Recommend

I’d like to express my sincerest appreciation and gratitude to Mr. Richard S. Fiorella. His professionalism, straight forward and clear guidance and thorough management of my son’s case was outstanding. He made a world of difference with a difficult issue. A professional that was also genuine in ...character, I found very endearing. My hopes in finding a great, competent attorney were exceeded. Highly recommend him! Thank you, again.

Richard Fiorella, Excellent Attorney

I would like to personally thank Mr. Fiorella for his legal counsel with my daughter's recent court case. He was very patient, direct and instrumental in guiding my daughter through her situation. With his help, she was able to resolve her legal matter. I highly recommend Mr. Fiorella and the entire... team at Larry King Law for their professionalism and attention to detail. Thank you for all that you did for us.

Highly Recommend Mr. Fiorella

I received a reckless driving (by speeding) charge earlier this year, went to court, and was told to go out and get a lawyer. I searched for the best attorneys in the area and that is when I contacted Larry King Professional Legal Services and was fortunately assigned Mr. Fiorella as my lawyer. In ou...r first sit down, he told me exactly what I needed to do in order to give myself the best possible chance of reducing the reckless driving charge. I followed his directions and on the day of my hearing I wasn’t even charged with a speeding ticket and I walked out of court with only a $25 fine plus court fees. Highly recommend Mr. Fiorella as your attorney.

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.
