Excellent lawyer Mr Forella

Mr Forella took on my case when I had no money at the time and surpassed the lawyer I wasted two thousand dollars on he uncovered the truth and found witnesses who gave the accurate information regarding my case he posses great insight as well as being dedicated to his client which i am proud to be i... personally am glad i fired the lawyer i had because i would have lost out being represented by a good lawyer and a good person in my book I would recommend him to anyone in need of a valuable attorney

Upfront, Honest and Trustworthy

I consulted with Mr. Forella on a case. He was up front and honest. He laid out all of the facts and even though he wanted to help me, (had empathy for my case) he had the integrity to let me know that it wasn’t worth the legal fight. He could have taken my money but instead he gave me sound advice o...n how to handle the situation without going to court and he did it without charging me a dime. If I ever need legal representation, he would be the first person I would contact.

Very Good

Managed to get a good deal as my defense attorney I would definitely recommend to friends and family. Overall was ver responsive to messages and even helped me out with some other family information on immigration.

Negative Stars should be an option

EXTREME lack of experience! BEWARE! This "lawyer" made up his very own story about my case when we showed up (late on his behalf) to Zoom court. On top of SEVERE lack of communication. It was an absolute nightmare dealing with him. Why he made up his own story, I'll never understand...but I assu...me my case was too complex for him to portray correctly, which was very contradictive of promises made otherwise. I have 10k in fees to other attorney's just trying to fix his wrong doings. To the date of this review, he hasn't even turned over my files to my new attorney, as requested several times. This review is being posted 6 months after the first hire date and 5 months after withdrawing him from my counsel. This "lawyer" should find another day job. He's a "yes" man. He will say he can, and you won't know he CAN'T until it's too late! BEWARE! Don't be another case like mine!
