Frank Genco, Commercial real estate Attorney on Apr 12, 2017
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I strongly endorse Andrew Mongelluzzi. He is a very skilled and able business attorney focused on customer service and results. On the front end, Andrew deftly advises new businesses on organizing properly, acquiring necessary licenses, contracting with vendors & customers, and dealing with various compliance issues that may arise. On the back end when things go south, Andrew counsels and navigates businesses through complex commercial disputes and aggressively represents them in negotiations, mediation, arbitration, and in litigation so that businesses can legally move on and get back to business. Andrew's ability to identify legal issues and approaches to resolve business-related issues is a strength that I have learned from and professionally relied upon in approaching the business matters and cases that I handle. I regularly refer business to Andrew knowing that he will diligently represent his business clients and their best interests. Frank N. Genco, Florida Bar No. 440086

I have known Andrew throughout law school and his professional career. A client can always count on him to be prepared and thorough. Some attorneys are good lawyers or good people, but few are both. Andrew is both and I recommend him without reservation.
