Ready and Able When You Need Him Most

Joe Summonte is handling an ongoing case for me. He sees through the issues clearly, approaches solutions with creativity, and works well with other lawyers involved in separate aspects of the case. He responds quickly to problems and the quality of his work for us has made a difficult time much mo...re bearable.

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.
