This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

super lawyer

I was arrested for armed robbery and kidnapping and Mr. Damico made sure I got out of jail and stayed out of jail. He fought my case and got me 3 years probation!!! I didn't have to do a thing. He'd call me if he needed something and I'd see him in court. Money well spent is all i'm saying

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.
