A Job Well Done!!

Before walking into the DiCello firm, I knew nothing about Mark DiCello and was still in shock from what I had been through! After a brief meeting with Mark, I knew this was where I needed to be. I had visited other attorneys before entering Mark's office and felt my life was over. Mark quickly chan...ged how I was feeling with a positive, tough, take no prisoner approach! I needed to hear/know that the lawyer I was going to have represent me firmly believed in me. Mark really had a bulldog approach to my case and left no stone unturned. He felt for what I was going through and firmly believed that what I had went through was an injustice. His passion/compassion, determination and vast knowledge really had me as at ease as I could be at the time. Mark won my case, not once but twice. The other side was clearly outmatched and not playing at the same level as my lawyer. As Mark told me “my light will be on before theirs and long after their light has been turned off”! Mark got my life back together for me and I cannot thank him and the DiCello firm enough for that!!
