Efficient and upfront! Very easy to work with.
Mr Miano is a wonderful attorney. He is very personable and very smart. He handled working my contract to purchase a business very quickly. I cannot say enough good about him.

Reviewi for Bert Miano
I have had many legal questions in the past several years that Mr. Miano was always able to answer to my satisfaction. I am not certain there is a dilemma he is not willing or able to approach with compelling results. I recommend him to anyone who has need for a competent, diligent, friendly and approachable attorney.
