"The best law team I could have ever asked for."

It is with great pleasure and pride that I am afforded an opportunity to speak of Centrone and Shrader, PA and the caliber of representation I have received on numerous occasions. Both Gus and Brian are of the upmost ethical, forth right and just attorneys I know. Gus Centrone has represented me i...n several matters that I thought would haunt me forever. He has stood beside me, answered any questions that I had and put to rest any concerns that arose. He advised me on decisions I needed to make with care and honesty. Working in the legal industry myself, I have a first had knowledge of how stressful lawsuits can be for all parties involved. I can say that I truly slept well at night knowing he was by my side. I will continue to turn to Centrone and Shrader for anything that may present itself in the future. I am assured to whatever end result I know that I was represented with the best law team I could have ever asked for.

Consult Mr. Centrone first! He's an excellent attorney.

Mr. Centrone is one of the best attorneys I have ever had. In my particular case he fixed what my first attorney failed to do. Mr. Centrone listened to my concerns, answered all of my questions, gave me great advice as to my legal rights, and implemented a plan of action that resulted in my desired o...utcome; he truly acted in my best interest. It is rare to find an attorney that has a genuine concern for their client- I felt this way through the entire process. Mr. Centrone is extremely professional, knowledgable, trustworthy, confident, and most importantly a defender and a fighter in the courtroom. Every step of the way I was informed about the happenings of my case, non of which I had to initiate. All of my phone calls and emails were answered very promptly. Mr. Centrone did for me what other attorneys would not and could not do. I cannot convey how grateful I am for Mr. Centrone's devotion to my case. From here forward Mr. Centrone will be the attorney I use in any future cases. I highly recommend 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.
