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.

Excellent lawyering

If you need to consult an attorney, in my opinion, it is never a good thing. I met Mr. Pastore while attending a mediation conference with a friend. I observed the process as Mr. Pastore mediated between the two parties. I was impressed with the manner in which he attempted to bring both parties to... a negotiated agreement. Several months later I needed legal counsel, I called Mr. Pastore office’s and made an appointment to review my situation with him. He negotiated a settlement while at all times counseling and updating me. Mr. Pastore during the negotiations made a very poignant statement to me “It is better to settle than to pay the difference in legal fees” Enough said. I will refer my clients to him based on his honesty, integrity and philosophy to move clients to the best resolution.

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.
