Good man to have in your corner

I have known Dennis Balsamo both personally and professionally for almost 30 years. Recently I had an issue with a well known solar company that was failing to act on an obvious warranty issue. I contacted Dennis and asked if he's be willing to intervene on my behalf. He reviewed my case gave me l...egal direction and instantly agreed to represent my interests. With his permission, I informed the solar company that I had consulted with Mr. Balsamo. Guess what, after almost 2 years with little or no movement, the solar company has agreed to repair my system under warranty and at no cost to me. I am certain he was instrumental in their decision. Dennis is, and always has been loyal, trustworthy and tenacious in his personal and professional life. This is a quality that is, at times, difficult to find in some individuals. Dennis does not have that problem. I cannot recommend Dennis highly enough. I will gladly reveal my name, unlike the spineless "anonymous" reviewer who posted a negative review of Mr. Balsamo. He either is being untruthful or has Mr. Balsamo confused with someone else.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • 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.
