This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Great Attorney

Be careful thanking people for gifts that they give you. I thanked someone for their gift and what a nightmare it turned out to be. I explained the situation to a State Attorney Rotarian friend and asked him who would he use. “The man for you is Louis B. ‘Buck’ Vocelle Jr.” Buck and his knowledgeab...le staff was there every step of the way. Buck returned phone calls promptly, arranged his schedule to fit us in (even when he was busy), and kept us apprised of every new development throughout our association. We went through arbitration and came to a settlement that was best in the long run. Without Buck’s confidence and expertise in this situation I don’t know how I would have made it. I highly recommend his expertise to everyone.

My experience with Louis B. "Buck" Vocelle Jr.

Mr. Vocelle helped me greatly during contract negotiations with my employer. He thoroughly researched my contract and his recommendations and advice helped secure a satisfactory conclusion to my negotiations. He is an excellent attorney whom I would use again, and I would highly recommend his servic...es to anyone.

Election Law / Libel Lawsuit

I was wrongly accused by a local politician ( a lawyer) of participating with an election group (ECO 527). This politician sued the group and included me in the lawsuit. I hired Mr. Vocelle to represent me. He immediately initiated actions to remove me from the lawsuit. He was very methodical and sy...stematic in his successful efforts to remove me from the lawsuit. He won a summary judgement in my behalf against the plaintiff ( the politician) and won the subsequent appeal. This judgement included legal fees which the plaintiff now owes. During this stressful time, Mr. Vocelle answered every question I asked and took the time to respond to every call I made (which were A LOT !!). He also explained all the legal procedures I went through in "layman" terms. He was a very positive influence during the whole process. I would highly recommend him for any legal issue.

Client Review

Buck represented me in a law suit involving my daughter hitting a motorcycle. Buck is a very talented and skillful attorney. He is also very personable. He was always telling us to relax and let things play out. He was always reassuring us that in the end things would work out. He was exactly right.

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.
