Excellent experience

I had the pleasure of being represented by Michael on a recent legal matter. Michael’s exceptional experience and mastery of legal processes made me feel as though he’d seen this all before and that I was in good hands. I appreciated his direct, thoughtful communication, clear explanation of my optio...ns and questions, and strategic approach. Michael helped me achieve my desired result and stay calm throughout the process. I highly recommend his counsel.

Excellent Attorney - Superb Knowledge

I had consultations with 3 different law firms 1 year ago. When I contacted Allred, Maroko & Goldberg I immediately knew they were the right firm to handle my matter. Michael Maroko made me feel very comfortable during the initial consultations. He has superb experience with discrimination and wron...gful termination matters. He understood the situation clearly, thoroughly explained the pros & cons and options. The advice I received was genuine and factual. I was nervous as I did not know the legal process with employment law suits; Mr. Maroko was always very professional, empathetic, and approachable. He explained the process step by step each time there was a development. He fought relentlessly for me, always protecting my best interest. I had a very good and successful experience with Mr. Maroko. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is in need of legal representation.

Honest and Ethical

Mr. Maroko was my Family Law Attorney more that 30 years ago advising and helping me in matters related to child custody and child support. Although his practice has expanded far beyond what my needs were back then I just wanted to say in reflection these many years later how his honesty, ethics, an...d skill in the courtroom resolved satisfactorily what was best for my baby daughter. He always put the best interest of my daughter first. And the best advice he ever gave me as a single parent was, "Never Lie To Your Child, because if you do you will undermine your child's trust in you, and then who can your child trust?" And, "never speak badly of your child's father to your child because that will only create unnecessary conflict for your child." Thank you Mr. Michael Maroko for putting me on the right path as a single parent so many years ago which I believe contributed to the successes in my daughter's life today. I have no doubt you are still the same honest and ethical attorney today as you were with me over 30 years ago. I''m sure whoever enlists your services today in the areas of law you now practice will not be disappointed!

Avvo Rating

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.
