Honest and a good listener

Nick Congelossi is the kind of lawyer you want in your corner. He is honest, a good listener, professional, and just what I needed when a tragedy struck my family. He makes time for you and actually picks up the phone when you call him. I am happy he is in my corner and I think you will be too!

Fantastic

Nick handled my case and was tremendous throughout. He was very kind and understanding during our initial phone call, and all of them throughout. He was also very easy to reach and quick to respond to any questions with the answers I needed. My court date was handled very well and smooth, and he assi...sted me with additional help afterwards.

The Best!

Nick was referred to me and he did not disappoint!! He was kind and compassionate from my first call, thru my distress and my many questions. He always kept me up to date and calm. He put the cherry on my experience thru his work which resulted in a Not Guilty and having my case dismissed. Needless... to say my experience came together full circle with his joyful call giving me the news!! Hire him!

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.
