A great lawyer

I feel really grateful for all the support that Mrs. Baroni has given me, from the beginning All my process has been excellent thanks to God and to her, I always answer all my doubts that I had and I thank her very much. I wish you many blessings and again thank you very much.

Lawyer, friend and family

Dr Franca was an angel after a storm. I had a lawyer before her that would never answer my questions, not return my calls and emails. Dr Franca not only took care of my case, which was a very hard, but also, became a friend and like a family member. She always texted and emailed me about the case up...dates, and next steps. Worried about my health, constantly asked about how I was feeling. My case was approved just few months after I hired her, and I have no words to thank her. I highly recommend Dr Franca Baroni!

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.
