Pool contractor
Pool contractor did not complete job and did sub par work. I am disabled and the contractor took advantage of that. Andrew Mongelluzzi handled the whole case and got me a full refund for work not done or done poorly. Very customer friendly.

Helped us win an insurance company claim denial
We hired Andrew to help us when our insurance company denied our claim when water and sewage damage completely destroyed our Florica Condominium. Even though Andrew made several phone calls and wrote an initial letter, the company continued to deny our claim. He was persistent and continued to help us negotiate with the company until we finally received a fair monetary settlement. He was always quick to respond, helpful, and courteous when working with us. I would recommend him to anyone who is fighting an unjust insurance settlement.

Caring and Aggressive
Attorney Mongelluzzi and his team provided excellent and quality service. I always felt that my needs were met and that the firm was invested in me and my case. The quality services I received at Mongelluzzi's firm were remarkable. From the initial meeting they were responsive to my calls, questions and concerns. All issues were handled professionally and timely were easily accessible, got back to me quickly, aggressive and got me the results that I wanted. Attorney Mongelluzzi and his staff all gave my case their personal attention and provided the quality of work that anyone would want when hiring a attorney.

Business lawyer on your side
As a business owner for 12 years I have seen my fair share of ups and downs. Some of the downs would include landlord/tenant disputes and creditors that may have not been fulfilled to agreement. Andrew has met both of these situations for me in a timely, positive, and affordable manner.
Posted by John s | September 24, 2014
Highly Recommend Andrew
Andrew helped me through a difficult situation with American Express and we won the case. A great job by Andrew! He also helped me with T&C's in my company. I would recommend Andrew highly as an attorney.

Great Experience
Andrew is very thorough defining the outcome expectations. In my case, it was setting up a new corporate entity. He advised me on the most beneficial option and he then executed on that path. Andrew is a very pleasant person to work with. He is determined, skilled and committed to his client's success.

Great Corpaorate Attorney
It was very nice to have a lawyer who not only is fierce in negotiations but has been successful in business. This is a lethal combination. I was glad he was on my side.

Gets Results - Always makes time for me ...
I recently hired Mr. Mongelluzzi to help me with a real estate transaction. He immediately took charge of the situation and kept me informed regarding the negotiations. He returns calls promptly and his bills are fair and make sense.
Posted by Chris | August 20, 2012
Responsive and Respectful
Andrew has represented my business for several years in the areas of corporate law, business transactions, collection matters, contract matters, employee disputes, and more. He has always been more than approachable, accommodating and understanding. His approach is not like other lawyers in that he deals with you on your level and is able to incorporate his legal strategies into our business plan/model; instead of allowing lawsuits to takeover the business. Further, his education and practical experience in the business world equates to a valuable understanding of my business
