Valuable Mediator

At first, before we hired Mr. Pastore, it seemed as if we had an ugly dispute that would never get resolved. Mr. Pastore's expertise, honesty, and intelligence lead to a settlement that neither party could turn down.

Outstanding legal services for our business

Mr. Pastore provides ongoing professional legal services to our business. Most recently he helped settle a sensative matter that had been lingering over our company for nearly a year. We find him to be professional, knowledgable, responsive, results oriented; always putting his client's interests f...irst. We highly recommend Nick and Campbell Warburton for your legal matters.

knowledgeable, professional, effective and persistent

Nick is a well experienced mediator. He is handling a difficult case for us for the past few weeks. It did not settle at the mediation, but Nick has never given up. He still calls, still follows up, and is still, weeks later, trying to put together a settlement for us.

It was an okay experience, Not sure it was justice,

Nick was brought to us as a mediator by the other party. What I thought was a mediation conference was more of a settlement conference, There was no doubt he wanted resolution, but it always feel like he wanted a acceptable settlement for the other party - like it was his clients. Maybe he was ...just being pragmatic. The conclusion was convenient and I didn't have more time to engage on this matter, the resolution was definitely not fair or just.

I was just made aware of this anonymous review which was posted on August 30, 2016. All reviews about me, good and bad, are important to me, especially as I continually attempt to improve upon my mediation skills and approaches. I am sorry that the mediation for you was only "an okay experience". I encourage you to contact me directly so that I may fully appreciate your concerns with the mediation process and/or me. I will be receptive to your thoughts and suggestions. Sincerely, Nicholas Pastore

Real Estate Litigation

I would highly recommend Nicholas Pastore on any real estate legal matters and rating of 5 Stars! Nicholas Pastore was able to settle our claim and we received payment for our damages in a very short timeline. Our case involved multiple parties and an HOA association. Nicholas was very responsive al...l our questions along with his staff.

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.
