An Excellent Attorney

Mr. Fiocchi has provided sound legal advice to both me personally as well as to our corporation. He has helped us navigate through all of the complexities of state and federal law as it pertains to general business; this gives both myself and our management team peace of mind knowing that we are ful...ly compliant with all government regulation. In addition, Mr. Fiocchi is one of my most trusted counselors not only in strictly legal matters, but also in general business philosophy. I would refer any friend or business associate to Mr. Fiocchi without hesitation.

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.
