Amazing Lawyer!

I reached out to Kevin from the ER after my partner was hit while riding his Vespa. From step one, he was incredibly helpful, reassuring, thoughtful and gave us such clear-cut instructions about what to do next. My partner and I have said over and over to each other “I’m so glad we reached out to ...Kevin.” He made what would have been such a confusing and stressful process so much easier. If you’re looking for a lawyer, this is absolutely who you want to go with!

Highest Quality Representation

Mr Collucio handled my case with expertise and precision. My case settled for policy limits. Car accident with Moderate TBI and my case was given all it had to give because of Mr Collucio. Highly Recommended!

Highly Recommend

I was previously represented by Mr. Coluccio for a hotly disputed liability automobile collision. He was able to get an arbitration award 100 percent in my favor (defendant found to be completely liable). The defense then appealed the decision. Thereafter, he was able to settle the case. I appreci...ate all Mr. Coluccio’s efforts and constant attention he provided me and my case throughout. He was always ahead of the case and prepared for the next move. I would highly recommend him.

Highly Recommend Kevin!

We highly, highly recommend Coluccio Law! My husband was rear-ended by an "underinsured" motorist. Kevin and his wonderful assistant Wanda helped us through the process of not only getting the medical bills paid, but receiving the highest possible settlement. They were so patient with us and all of o...ur worries and questions during the process. Not only that, they were able to negotiate with the "out of network" medical bills that wanted full payments! Some of the bills were reduced as low as 50%, and some were just written off completely! All of that hard work on their end making our settlement total much higher. We are so thankful for Kevin and Wanda and everyone at Coluccio Law!

Better than I could have possibly hoped for

I was struck by a commercial vehicle while crossing an intersection on my motorcycle. I suffered limb loss and other life changing injuries. I interviewed 7 attorneys over the phone and 4 face to face. Kevin stood out from the crowd. During our interview it was clearly evident that he put...s his clients first. I'm sure all that were interviewed were excellent attorneys and would have done a decent job for me. But I was left with a sense that I was just another of many cases. Kevin impressed me with his compassion and his talent. I was well informed throughout the entire process and aware of his expectations of me. Simply to focus on my recovery, and let him handle the rest. The team he had put together for me were ALL equally impressive. During the coarse of our case, other legal situations arose in my life that were really outside of Kevin's purview. He proved invaluable, giving me advice and directing me to resources that had nothing to do with the case he was hired for. He cares about his clients, and it shows. We settled in mediation. Kevin went to great pains to get me my number. I'm eternally grateful for the positive impact he has made in my families life. As happy as I am to have put this all behind me, I will miss interacting with people as accomplished and talented as Kevin and the team that he assembled. Thanks Kevin!

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.
