Awesome Lawyer

Jim took my cold call in the middle of a mediation and very thoroughly answered the questions I had about a settlement I received and whether or not it was fair. He definitely knows his stuff and he's a nice guy on top of it. Thanks Jim!

Justice and Vindication...

Mr. Treglio is outstanding! He fought hard for me and got me a huge settlement- over a $10 disputed case! The work agency deducted $10 from my check- for mailing my own check... This guy is incredible!!! You will see his capabilities have no limit. He knows exactly what he is doing as he has many... solid years of experience too. If you need a real lawyer that knows his stuff, and is known for being a fearless lawyer- then go with Mr.Treglio. He is a no nonsense type of lawyer! I very highly recommend him.

Awesome Lawyer Great Person

Mr Treglio is a one in a million kind of Lawyer! He took the time to explain my case in ways that I never understood before. He is very informative and explains the legal issues in precise detail to the point that you can feel the passion he has for helping people. Okay, I'm sure he likes the money t...oo, as we all do, but if you are looking for a good Lawyer this guy is it - hands down.

Pitbull like Tendencies

Attorney James Michael Treglio, took the time, (unpaid) to aggressively question me in a attempt to find out information from me pertaining to my case, (hour after hour after hour). Information, that I hardly gave up, and or was vague. Mr Treglio, just wouldn't stop, he wouldn't let it go.... Regardless of if he takes the case or not, regardless of if we ever communicate with each other again, regardless if its even in the scope of the law firm. Attorney James Michael Treglio is NOT a scared little .....

"Attorney Treglio is one of the most educated and all-encompassing attorneys I have encountered. He responds to clients from all walks of life with all kinds of issues. Although his specialization is rather narrow, his knowledge is not only extensive but also in-depth and far-reaching. He can breezily handle an eviction case as well as an extensive consumer litigation, a family dispute, action based on breach of a contract as well as many other issues. James is one of the most versatile and experienced attorneys on AVVO. Listen to his advice, because it is invariably profound, solidly legally grounded, and will lead to positive results."

"I endorse this lawyer. He is extremely knowledgable and experienced representing people who have been unfairly and illegally treated. He works with employees who have been cheated out of overtime or breaks or who are required to pay for their own work tools or clothing. He also represents consumers who are ripped off with products which fail or which are misrepresented."

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.
