Professional, Patient and Prompt in action

The Bartolino firm was prompt to respond to my request, Tony Bartolino talked directly to me and walked me through the legal process and understanding of my case. The firm moved promptly with the addressing the concerns, and maintained regular communication. They made sure that the case was closed... completely and successfully.

Exceptional, Professional, Specialized, Outstanding Service

I had the exceptional good fortune of the services of Bertolino Law Firm. My felt that my professional license was under attack and that if I didn't take the right step the future of my career was in jeopardy If it wasn't for the intervention of Tony Bertolino, Chris Henderson, Tyler Cota, London ...and Theresa, I doubt I would be where I am today. They handled this beautifully. I was totally exonerated and am able to continue to provide professional services to my patients without any hinderance or cloud of suspicion, as it should be.

Dentist

Chris Henderson helped me with my dental board issue. He was very knowledgeable, confident, and understood what we needed to do to clear up my issue. I switched to Chris Henderson, after my first attorney suggested I "take the fall" for my issue. I felt confident that I was in the right, and Chris be...lieved in me and my cause. Things were resolved, and I'm thankful for the efforts of Chris and those at the Bertolino firm.

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.
