Ethical and Effective

When I got divorced 3 years ago, I called a close friend, who is a Superior Court Judge. I asked him to recommend someone who was honest, effective and result-oriented, and who was a fair and ethical biller. He gave me one name: Marlene Pontrelli. I hired Marlene, and she represented me for the 9... months it took to litigate, and ultimately settle, my divorce case. I have been practicing more than 25 years, and I consider myself a very "tough grader" when it comes to other attorneys, but I gave, and give, Marlene an A+. I have since recommended her to several friends and business associates, and all of them speak highly of her. When I read the negative reviews on this site, my first thought was that they looked like something my ex-wife might write about my attorney, or, frankly, something I might write about my ex-wife's attorney. One of the realities of litigated divorce cases is that each spouse typically ends up hating the other spouse's attorney, and the more effective the attorney was, the greater the hate. All I can conclude is that Marlene must have been amazingly effective in the cases in which this posters were involved. I know she was very effective in mine.

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.
