Excellent Attorney!

I consulted with Mr. Frisco on a legal matter and from the very first conversation he gave me excellent advice! If you have a legal situation of any kind I recommend Mr. Frisco he’s a very dependable and honest attorney!

Thanks, Steve

We met with Mr. Steven Frisco for a felony case. On the first day we sat down with him he explained everything in detail to us. He took all our information and formulated a plan during the first meeting. Steve was always available day or night to call us or email us. Sometimes we wondered if he e...ver slept. He has great working relationships with other attorneys and state officers. He is very knowledgeable of the law . Steve ended up getting our case dropped to a misdemeanor. We cannot thank him enough for his hard work and professionalism. He treated our case like it was the only one he was working on. We will be forever grateful for his dedication. We miss him already.

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.
