Friendly and understanding

My case contained a lot of traumatic and sensitive material. Mr. Radogna faced my emotions with empathy and rationale. I was very lucky to have him help me through my Moral Application process. I have been successfully approved and was not required have a hearing after a further inquiry was sent. Mr.... Radogna helped me put together all the relevant materials and figure out who to contact to respond to the inquiries that were sent. I would definitely recommend him because he is well versed in the law of professional responsibility as well as the politics and inside view of how these processes work. While I was afraid of a hearing, I knew he would prepare me well and I would have easily and seamlessly been able to tell my story without crying.

Excellent attorney against the bar

Anthony represented me against the state for a complaint. He was always available for me to talk to. I tried representing myself and that didn’t go well. I did nothing but they were still trying to make a case. Anthony took over and cleared it up with no problem. He amazing and I was so grateful that... I found him. I recommend him to all my colleagues. He worked for the state bar so he knows how they operate.

The Best!!!!

Anthony was a pleasure to work with. Being wrongfully accused by someone who makes unfounded accusations is more than stressful. The process works against the professional who acted in good faith and the system forces one to prove their innocence. The accusers has nothing to lose!!! Anthony's dept...h of knowledge and careful guidance exposed the falsehoods and the matter was quickly dismissed. It is very refreshing and welcome to have a professional who knows the system and fights for justice. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

Excellent Service and Amazing Outcome

"Anthony was an amazing help in obtaining a positive Moral Character determination. Anthony agreed to meet me for the first time on a Saturday, as that was the best time for me. He had other obligations that day with his family but he made it a priority to meet with me for a few hours. I was blown aw...ay by his willingness to put his obligations on hold in order to meet with a first-time client. He even drove out of his way to meet me so I did not have to drive too far. The best part is, that is only the beginning of the huge impact he had on my professional career. I had some issues that I believed would lead the committee to request a hearing regarding my application. Every other attorney I had spoken with before deciding to go with Anthony reiterated the fact that I had almost no chance of not having to attend a hearing. If it were not for Anthony's help in answering the committee's follow-up questionnaire, there is no way I would have been approved without having to attend that hearing. Anthony worked with me diligently as we created two separate addendum's. His willingness to answer the phone or call me back ASAP when ever I had a question was incredible. He reviewed and edited my work as many times as we needed in order to get a final product that we felt comfortable enough to send to the committee. Upon receipt of my approval letter from the committee, Anthony was my first call, even over my wife and other family members. To this day, I still do not feel the fee I paid to Anthony was enough for the time he spent working with me or for what he accomplished. I would highly recommend Anthony to any person who was looking for help/advice regarding the committee. In my opinion, no one could have done a better job. I honestly felt like I was working with a friend, rather than an attorney I had known for less than a few weeks. That is priceless. -DC"

Awesome Attorney

About a year ago, I received a letter from the state bar investigations division. !!!!! I called Anthony, and he laid out the best and worse case scenarios (which were not as bad as I initially feared), then he got to work. In less than two weeks the inquiry was closed, something that I believe would... have taken months had he not been involved. He was professional, re-assuring, and most importantly, effective. While I don't plan on being in need of his services again, if I ever am Anthony will be my first call. I recommend him to any attorney facing disciplinary action by the state bar.
