Exceeded my expectations

I had a medical malpractice/personal injury case. I could not have asked for a better law firm in this complicated area of law. Michael Gatto and his professional legal team, which includes a medical doctor, gave me uniquely qualified representation. Gatto, who received a well-deserved Super Lawye...r award, is a great communicator with good bedside manner and integrity. He is a very skilled negotiator and won a settlement for me that far exceeded my expectations. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Kit Berkeley, CA

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.
