Melissa Manfredi

Ms. Manfredi is an excellent attorney! I was so impressed with her delivery and legal skills that she exemplified during my case. Ms. Manfredi's passion and knowledge of the law was exhibited throughout the entire trial. She really cared about my case and took the time to prepare before we went to ...trial. Her performance was outstanding. I have never experienced such exceptional services from an attorney before. Ms. Manfredi is definitely going places and is certainly one to watch as she excels in her profession. She is definitely as I overheard her peers call her " a superstar" in the courtroom. She is highly recommended for anyone needing to hire her for legal help.

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.
