Thank you for protecting my professional license

After 20 years of practice I never thought I would need legal services, but I found myself seeking support to defend a board complaint against my state license. From the first day I met with Chris Henderson he put me at ease. I left the Bertolini law office feeling reassured that my professional lice...nse would be protected from a false accusation. Chris and Tyler patiently guided me through the legal process and were always available to answer any questions/concerns. Thank you for preserving my professional reputation.

Five Stars

I recently contacted The Bertolino law firm for assistance obtaining a 501(c)(3) tax exemption. My organization had really struggled with the process and wasted a lot of money and time in trying to get this taken care of. I was on the verge of giving up until a friend referred me to Tony. I was very ...impressed with the initial consultation and the professional manner in which my case was handled. Tony and his associates got to work, simplified the process, and were able to produce results. I am happy to say they were able to complete the process and now my organization is operating as a tax exempt organization. I would highly recommend the Bertolino law firm for anyone in need!

Trustworthy lawyer who delivers quick results

I was having issues with a previous employer that would not deliver my W-2 form for my taxes. I have called and emailed not just the store manager, but the higher ups as well. No response, or the generic response, "We will get to this as soon as we can." As the deadline to file taxes was quickly appr...oaching, I was starting to get nervous about not being able to file in time. I reached out to Tony, letting him know my situation. He understood my frustration and anxiety, and assured me that I will have my form by the end of the day. 2 hours later, my W-2 magically appeared in my email inbox. Tony listened to my needs and delivered on his promise. I was able to file my taxes in time and not have any penalties. I know who I need to turn to for any legal needs in the future.

Mr. Bertolino's services were above and beyond what I expected. His team went out of it's way to ensure that I had a positive outcome!

Excellent and expert lawyer in licensure defense, contract and commercial litigation, and all custody and divorce issues

I highly endorse Tony Bertolino. I have worked with him on several complex litigation cases and have confidently referred several contract cases, commercial litigation cases, and cases involving board or licensure issues to him, and he was successful with the outcome on every case that I referred to... him. He is an excellent, ethical, and aggressive advocate for his clients.

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.
