Posted by Vic | September 18, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Estate Planning

Superb Attorney!

About 5 years ago, I needed competent legal advise for a complete reassessment of my will and estate planning. I met Vincent B ("Chip") LoCoco through his attorney father, who was assisting me in other areas. I was impressed with Chip's expertise in all matters of estate planning. Listening (to anoth...er) can seem like a lost art. Chip listens carefully to my needs and concerns, and we engage in conversations that are essential to both of us. Chip is an expert in wills and estate planning. He is compassionate, ethical, and patient. His love and devotion for his family (parents, wife, children, and others) impacts his interaction with clients. Vincent B "Chip" LoCoco has my highest recommendation!

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.
