Highly recommended!!

Mr. Lariscy handled my underage drinking charge and was professional and always kept me in the loop. He did an amazing job and I always felt like he was watching out for my best interest. I talked to several other attorneys who gave me a ranging fee and he stuck to his fee and never tried to charge m...e more.

Hire Joe Lariscy! He works wonders!

Mr. Lariscy was my trusting legal advocate while dealing with my DUI charge. He did exactly what he said he would do. His retainer fee was firm. He reduced my consequences and made sure that I kept my license. I am forever grateful for his 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.
