Extensive Family Law & Litigation Experience

Lawrence Viola represented me on a case that required extensive experience in family law as well as litigation. He provides a thorough counseling and devises a working and realistic strategy. Lawrence successfully guided me through the entire process. I knew what to expect in and out of the courtroom... and we prepared for every possible opportunity. He and his staff took care of everything; deadlines were met, follow-up occurred promptly, and every detail was handled. As a result, we won the case very much to my satisfaction.

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.
