Smart Criminal Defense Attorney - Highly Recommend

I spoke with Madalina about some serious charges I'm facing, the case is more complex then most. Madalina broke things down, was very knowledgable and insightful. I wish all attorneys we're like her. Professional, fast response time, experienced kind. I strongly recommend scheduling a call with h...er if your in trouble with the law or need help. The case and charges ( plural ) I'm facing are complex, gave me great insight vs other attorneys I spoke with. Go with Madalina if you can.

Great attorney

I hired Attorney Falone after speaking to several other attorneys. She always took the time to explain all of the possible outcomes with my case. She even called me on a weekend and kept me up-to-date on every step of the process. Her negotiation skills provided an amazing resolution to my case. ...I would definitely recommend her services to anyone needing legal representation. She is detailed, organized, and proactive.

Professional and knowledgeable

Talking to Madolyn about my case was a great experience. She is a very thoughtful listener. She made me feel much less overwhelmed and is great at explaining complex procedures!

Devoted

This attorney provided me and my son with free, in-depth consultations. She took my call on a Sunday evening and answered all of my questions. I plan to hire this attorney.

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.
