This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Don't waste your time

Couldnt even talk to him in 5 minutes he continually interrupted me on first consultation.

Speaking with an attorney can be frustrating--sometimes it feels like we are speaking a different language. It can also be frustrating to not get the answers you expect or want. Unfortunately, I could not understand what you were trying to express and I was asking questions to try to understand your questions and concerns. You were making what seemed like contradictory statements and I was trying to clarify so I could try to assist you. You grew frustrated and hung up on me before I could understand your issue and try to provide guidance. I was willing to continue to try to help and still will if you wish to reach out via phone or email and have another go.

Don't bother with him

I called him for consultation, and he just acted like my issue was a bother & he didn't want to deal with it. He said legally there was nothing I could do, which I understand, but my issue with him is that he was very callous and dismissive. His attitude was basically like I can't help you, go away.

I know it is frustrating to hear that the law does not work the way you think it does (or should). I know that it is also difficult to accept answers that are not what you were expecting. I attempted to answer all of your questions but it seemed that you were getting increasingly upset over the fact that the answers were not what you wished and, ultimately, you hung up on me while I was trying to explain your situation. I would be happy to speak to you again if you wish.

One of the best

Sean, is a rockstar. I went into court expecting the usual pro functionary representation you get from a court appointed lawyer. I was so wrong and majorly impressed with the outstanding job Sean, did for me and my family. Even though the odds were stacked heavily against me Sean, stayed positive and... focused. He totally exceeded my expectations, going as far as to represent my mom and cousin, at no charge, filing motions on their behalf to strengthen my case. I really appreciated his honesty, warrior attitude, and spirit. Whenever I have a question he always takes the time to make sure I understand what's going on and never rushes me off the phone. If I could I would have Sean on retainer to handle any legal problem I might have, he's that good!!! I recommend him to anyone in need of a great attorney. Thank you again for everything. You are definitely a ROCKSTAR

Trusting

I just was reading the documents related to my 2001 divorce when I noticed the degree that Mr. Vallone has helped me further my family issues. I noticed he is very keen to details. I really am happy I used his services.

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.
