Excellent Bankruptcy Attorney

Mr. Lauria is very knowledgeable, he did my bankruptcy chapter 7. The process was very smooth. I got a fresh new start. They know bankruptcy law really well. So, I recommend him to anyone with financial distress, credit card debt, medical bills and collectors calling daily.

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.
