Richard J. Colella

Richard J. Colella is, without question, one a very few lawyers I respect and trust. Not only is he my corporate lawyer, he is also my personal lawyer. Mr. Colella has represented my three (3) companies and I in four different matters of litigation over the past 11 years and in all four cases, he ...has prevailed. He is very knowledgeable, efficient, thorough and articulate. I recommend Mr. Colella to anyone seeking a trust-worthy, responsive and knowledgeable lawyer. Mr. Colella has never fallen short of my expectations!

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.
