Wonderful

I cannot thank John and Hannah enough for what they did for me. What started out as a simple civil matter, exploded into a completely different issue. Without John, I would have been lost. He literally saved my life, when I felt there was nowhere to go. I am eternally grateful for his help, his c...ompassion and his ability to get me where I needed to be. Thank you John and Hannah for standing with me and many times standing in front of me, through every step of the nightmare others created.

Highly Effective and Very Knowledgeable

Mr. Tatone is an excellent attorney. I hired him to assist me in a business matter. He was extremely professional and handled my case in a very proficient manner. I would certainly recommend him to family and friends.

Excellent Attorney

John did an excellent job in handling my case. He knows the laws applicable to landlord-tenant disputes thoroughly and is very professional in his conduct and approach. John answered my questions fully and honestly and never left me doubting or unsure. I would hire John again for landlord-tenant matt...ers and would recommend him highly.

Highly Recommended!

I highly recommend Mr. Tatone to take control of your legal concerns. His knowledge of the law, his focus and commitment to a case is very impressive. Mr. Tatone made an unbearable experience bearable. He made himself readily available through telephone, and e-mail. He demonstrated a tireless work et...hic and professional attitude. He presented himself in the courtroom with accuracy and confidence. I was very happy with the legal service and fees that I received from John R. Tatone.

Great Experience

John was very motivated to win my case. Since he has 17 years of experience I could tell he knew what the best way to approach my case. He also gave me a free consultation. He was very accessible and always returned my calls within an hour. Get experience.

Business lawyer | Jan 06

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. For years, at least ten, I have referred cases which I do not specialize in to Mr. Tatone. He has represented by clients dlligently, effectively and successfully. He continues as co-counsel on many cases with me and is an accomplished trial lawyer. He has also efectively handled several appeals on behalf of my clients with great success and is very familiar with a process many lawyers, including myself find tedious. I would and still refer many probate, business, collection and real property clients to Mr. Tatone for representation."

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.
