Lender

Dick Fiocchi has always been courteous, professional and prompt. I have dealt with him on numerous real estate closings and when we find out he is the attorney representing the seller, we know everything will go smoothly and we will close on time.

Excellent Attorney; Easy to Work With

Mr. Fiocchi is an excellent attorney that is easy to work with. He works fast to get your issues resolved in a timely fashion (which hasn't been the case for me when dealing with other attorneys). Pleasant staff adds to the many positive aspects of Mr. Fiocchi and his law office.

I have worked with Dick's office on a personal and professional level for many years. His office staff (Melanie & Kelly) and himself are very helpful, professional, kind, and efficient. Thanks for everything and look forward to working together in the years to come.

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.
