Review Adrianos Facchetti

Highly Recommend

Posted by

I chose the best firm to help me with my car accident case. Adrianos Facchetti referred me to some of the best doctors in the area to help me with my neck and back pain. They also made sure to negotiate my medical expenses so I could obtain the most out of my settlement. I had a wonderful experience as they listened and addressed all of my concerns and I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of a personal injury attorney.

I’m more than happy to be finish with my case. Mr. Adrianos Facchetti is one of the best attorney's I ever met. His knowledge of the law and ability to apply it to my case was far more extensive than the other attorneys that had been involved in the case. He and his team are highly experienced, professional, and efficient. I would like to highly recommend The Law Offices of Adrianos Facchetti!

Adrianos was very personable, helpful, and trustworthy throughout the entire process. I’ve heard many nightmare stories about how some attorneys drag their feet on cases or take a very large percentage of settlements. I’m fortunate enough to have dealt with this office under a very unfortunate circumstance. His staff is also very pleasant to work with as well.

DEFAMATION

Posted by

ADRIANOS is one of the best in business... I had consulted a few attorneys but when I sat with Adrianos, in the first meeting I was convinced he was for me. THE KNOWLEDGE AND CONFIDENCE he had was amazing. he pointed out all plus and minuses and did not give false hopes. he also refrained me going in wrong directions which would have cost me some good money and would have made him more money but he guided me to be focused on my case and took me out with the least possible damage. I would highly recommend him and will choose him any day if in future if I am in need for this field. IN SHORT: HE CAN BE THE BEST CO-PILOT AT THE TIMES OF WORST STORMS.

Defamation anti-SLAPP appeal in Texas

Posted by

I would highly recommend this lawyer for defamation matters, and anti-SLAPP matters. I hired Adrianos through the law firm Traverse Legal. I came to the law firm after I already had an anti-SLAPP motion for a defamation lawsuit denied in Texas. It was my immediate desire to appeal the dismissal. As my trial attorney has no appealate experience, I hired Traverse Legal to consult me with regards to my chances at winning on appeal. Adrianos' expert legal opinion was that my case was not strong enough to win on appeal, and I really appreciated that candor. Instead of pursuing an unwinnable appeal, Adrianos worked with the Plantiff to negotiate a very reasonable settlement offer. Adrianos drew the line with what he knew I could accept with a settlement, and represented my interests during these settlement negotiations very well. As it tuned out, the Plantiff was very stubborn and unreasonable with regards to settlement, which I only learned after these rounds of settlement discussions. While a settlement itself itself was not reached, it became very clear that a trial was the only way to resolve the case. Since Adrianos is in CA and I am in TX, I opted for a local trial atty for this additional trial work in Texas

Attorney Adrianos Facchetti is an excellent attorney that was incredible for me in a defamation and anti-SLAPP cases. I can highly recommend this attorney if you find yourself in a situation where you need in-depth expertise because of using your first amendment rights to review a business on the Internet. Don’t hesitate to call him…he is truly the best around and will get you positive results in your case.

Best attorney in his field

Posted by

As my attorney Adrianos and I dealt with complex and related cases that were more complicated in nature than typical litigation in this area of the law. He is honest, intelligent, knowledgeable, and a very competent and conscientious attorney. His experience includes everything from dealing with that first complaint, discovery, pre-trial matters, the legal process and the courts, dealing effectively and aggressively with opposing counsel and a host of other important matters. I'm certain his expertise on both sides of the law are equally good, so if you're looking to choose an attorney, Adrianos should be the first person to call.

Excellent Online Free Speech Lawyer

Posted by

I run a website and had to deal with several issues arising out of what was written and user comments on the site. Adrianos was extremely educated in this area and was a true professional in handling my case. I highly recommend him for anything to do with defamation and free speech, especially online.

Amazing Lawyer!

Posted by

I hired Adrianos during a really hard time in my life. I am in a good place now and Adrianos was instrumental in helping me get to this point. I was being sued for harassment and deformation of character. Really all it was when in came down to it was a fight with a friend from high school. It got nasty and vindictive. Adrianos main job was to keep me calm and stop me from incriminating myself. His wonderful people skills and negotiating skills got me an out of court settlement. Most important I never had to go through the stress of going to court. I'm in better place now and I am back to teaching. Without Adrianos my 16 year career as a teacher would have been in the dumps. He kept my record clean for teaching and I am forever grateful. I would hire him again without a doubt but I hope I never have to!
