Employment and labor lawyer | Oct 04

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"As a dental practice transition attorney, I have a number of dentists (plus doctors and other small businesses) that require specific help in the employment field: questions about terminating employees, defending Labor Commission or State Court lawsuits brought by employers, or needing an employment handbook. I have referred every single one of these clients in the past 10 or so years to Henry Bongiovi, as well as a number of business litigation matters, and I have never had a client who was disappointed with the help he provided. He is an excellent communicator, clear and fair. He is also honest and ethical, and is about the nicest attorney you could hope to find. I highly recommend him!"

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.
