5 Stars! Attorney Mr. LaSorsais perfect mix of Knowledgeable & Personable

“I recently consulted with Attorney LaSorsa regarding my ADR process, and I cannot recommend him Highly enough. He is an exceptional gentleman and a knowledgeable attorney. He took the time to understand the nuances of my case, provided clear, strategic advice, and helped me understand the best path ...forward. His expertise eased my anxiety regarding the mediation process. He gave me an analogy to even help me understand something that I needed to do. In which I will. I will be back to let you know what happened. Thank you, Attorney LaSorsa, for your professionalism, guidance and thank you for your service to America. Linda Kirwan TN

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.
