Great first experience seeking legal council

Frank was a pleasure to work with. I had some questions regarding resolving a clawback provision in my employment contract and he was able to meet with me on short notice and answer my questions clearly and quickly. When a complication arose several days later, he again met with me to help me unders...tand my options and obligations. Direct, efficient and to-the-point, I felt that he valued my time and was very knowledgeable about the issues raised.

Excellent Skills and Results

Frank handled a difficult family situation with finesse and efficiency. Both Frank and his team were very timely in their communications to us. His handling of a difficult opposing counsel made the process much easier than we were all expecting. Frank is very affable and put us at ease immediately wh...ile proceeding with knowledge and confidence in our matter. If he didn't know the answer, he found it for us. My only regret is that I didn't find him earlier as we would have concluded this matter much sooner. We're very pleased with Frank's performance and will call on him again if ever needed.

Frank clarified the case for me

Frank Perretta and Carrie MacIntosh gave me a free one hour consultation, as promised in www.avvo.com, answered all my questions and clarified all the doubts I had. I offered to pay but they refused to accept anything and stood by their promise of one hour free consultation. Frank was very knowled...geable, informative, broke down his explanation of my questions very well and described the situation very clearly. As for Carrie, she was very attentive during the consultation, studied the material I had brought, paid full attention to my questions, and gave valuable input when time came. For my case, I won't need to pursue the matter legally. However, I would've felt confident that they would've done a good job if I wanted to use their help. Their office validated my parking as well. Thank you Frank. Thank you Carrie.

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.
