Medical Malpractice

I spoke with 4 other attorneys at length before hiring Fred. It was a sensitive case and discretion was extremely important to me, as well as finding someone who listened, respected my concerns and yet had the # of wins that I felt confident he would be able to handle it. From all the research I h...ad done and talking at great length to so many others, when I spoke with Fred, he knew his stuff. He also took as much time as I needed whenever I called, and was able to approach the case with the discretion I needed to even pursue it, but also with the experience to know how to get it settled reasonably. His right hand support (paralegal) Susie worked by the same code of ethics and customer service. Prior to this, I had never pursued legal action and really thought long and hard about it--but it was so egregious I had to move forward IF I could find someone I could respect and trust. You hear so many awful stories. But I can honestly tell you, he truly cares and has the empathy to support you from beginning to end. I cannot give him a high enough rating. Every step along the way, he asked for my approval and changed things when I asked or explained why he wanted to approach it a certain way and then we went ahead. If you think you have a case that can be pursued, these are the people you want representing you. He really does care, and will make sure the right thing happens. His handling of the case made a bad experience so much easier to get through. Call him, you won't be disappointed,he's the real deal!...I am really grateful!

Exemplary Medical Malpractice Attorney

Fred Rispoli handled a nursing home case involving my mother, and from the beginning of the process to the end, he exceeded my expectations. Mr. Rispoli excelled in keeping me up-to-date on the case as it wound its way through the legal system. When I had to make a deposition or testify in court, he... made absolutely certain that I was well-prepared and comfortable with what was going to occur. As the case drew to a close, he was a tough negotiator, and he was very helpful in setting out the alternatives open to my siblings and me. Mr. Rispoli is a gifted attorney and I give him my unqualified recommendation for nursing home and related legal issues.

A very professional trustworthy attorney

I hired Fred Rispoli to handle a nursing home abuse case involving my husband. Fred was always very considerate and compassionate with me during this very stressful and emotional process. He kept me informed on the case and answered all my questions very quickly even after business hours. Even du...ring a set-back in the case Fred was always up beat and driven to continue litigation at the highest level. He was very knowlegable of the law in this type of case which helped in getting a favorable resolution for us. I would highly recommend Mr. Rispoli based on his honesty, compassion and proffessionalism to any of my friends or family. He is one of the most professional, kind and caring attorney's I have ever met.

Nursing home abuse and neglect lawyer | Apr 22

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Elder abuse and neglect cases are factually and legally complex. This area of practice demands a keen understanding of the nursing home industry, its regulations, as well as medical issues that are unique to our elderly population. Fred understands the industry charged with protecting our elderly population as well as the medicine – he does an excellent job for his clients. If a potential client, or their family, comes to see me and I cannot accept the case due to a conflict, or my current active case load, I highly recommend Fred and his firm."
