Very competent

I had the opportunity to work with Roman Kostenko post divorce. I was stuck with the sale of the real estate property. My ex was very unreasonably uncooperative with the home sale. With the help of Roman Kostenko as my attorney, I pulled through with the sale two weeks ago. He understood my case. He ...approached it meticulously and on time. He is very professional and straight to the point with communication. His sound advice is evidenced by his intellectual competence. I highly recommend him for your legal needs.

A Special Thanks

Roman Kostenko's legal experience, timeliness, and sensitivity to a client with minimum knowledge of specific portion of the law and court system was above reproach. The establishment of an invitational and supportive meetings quickly evolved into a trusting and confident attorney/client relations...hip. My personal apprehensions were diminished as he guided me through the bureacracy that led to a successful outcome. He is a special and talented attorney indeed.

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.
