Great to Work With!

Mr Chianco has been great from the start. He’s very knowledgeable in all areas that need to be handled during the process. Aside from the business part, he’s very helpful and calming during this stressful time. He’s honest and does what’s right. He takes the time needed for his clients. He doesn’t ru...sh anything just to hurry and get paid. He works for the best interests of his client, not himself! I wish more Lawyers were like him!

Best in class

Mr.Chianco went above and beyond to help my case with very timely and professional bussiness practices. Never did he miss a call or have any problems keeping me informed or answering my questions. He was very thorough in his work with contacting all party's of the case and keeping everyone informed,... and with Mr. Chianco's help not only were we awarded the maximum payout but he also helped me get over $250,000 in hospital bills dropped to a much better price in a very timely manner. He also went above and beyond to help me make sure all my debts and expenses were covered, even discounting his own costs and expenses. There is no doubt that he is simply the best in class, I recommend him to everyone for the simple fact that you won't find a greater person to have on your team. Knowledgeable, compassionate, responsive, professional are just a few words I would use to describe his practice.

Excellent, Thorough & Highly Efficient Lawyer

We hired David Chianco to represent us in two cases, both of which had outcomes that exceeded our expectations. David's attention to detail and extreme diligence are two of his best assets. His ability to communicate with insurance companies and translate the in-depth technical detail into everyday... talk made things easy for us to understand. He is kind, courteous, respectful and goes out of his way to make sure you have everything you need and that you are well taken care of. You are not just a number like in the large firms you see on TV...David treated us like family. We highly recommend consulting with and ultimately hiring David for your injury defense case.

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.
