No Worries

This is my second successful case with this firm and when I tell you, I didn't have to worry about anything, Mr. Montesi took care of everything. The accident was bad enough but to have to worry about how i would be compensated for my injuries and pain & suffering was too much to bear. He checked on ...me & made sure i was ok & to give updates on the progression of my case. If I ever had questions about my case he never hesitated to answer my questions or to call me back in a timely manner if he wasn't available at the time of my call. Everyone from the receptionist on down is AWESOME!!!

Pleased customer

A lady ran a stop sign and hit the front passenger side of my vehicle. Mr.Piccirilli got me a decent amount for my older vehicle that was still in great shape and low mileage. I was very pleased with that. Then I had some neck and back issues-I went to the orthopedic doctor myself who ordered some th...erapy. Mr. Piccirilli set me up with a therapy group who took good care of me and even worked out the payments until I got my settlement. i was very pleased with how fast they handled my case and kept me informed the entire time.

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.
