Reassuring, experienced help for small business owner

When our small business encountered some challenges that required legal services we were uncertain of where to turn, but we knew we wanted to support a local firm on the condition that they were able to provide the highest quality knowledge and service. Mr. Calandrino and his office manager, Melanie,... are extremely professional and experienced but yet are also caring, engaged and responsive. We feel assured and comfortable under their guidance. Their status as an active member of the Chamber of Commerce and the local merchants association reflects their commitment to being a good neighbor. They put forth the unexpected effort to understand their clients' issues, even beyond those for which they can gain business. We give them our highest recommendation.

Very detailed, perfectionist, and willing to work with you

Having worked with several lawyers in the past that merely go through the motions, Phil went the extra mile (and thensome) to understand the specifics of issue resolution. He charged a flat fee and didn't try to knit-pick what was out of scope or not. He is a perfectionist by all accounts and will ta...ke the time to find and close loopholes.

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.
