This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Not very polite or caring

I called to see if he could represent me on such short notice and he said and he couldn’t because of the court date being was so close. I just received the documents that I had a court date and then he proceeded to say oh these things can be costly throwing out numbers like cost would be a problem. W...hen it comes to a child there’s no price tag. I would not recommend him just because he assumed money would be a problem amd he was very and sensitive to the situation at hand.

Adrift at Sea in Uncharted Waters

I would highly recommend Angelo J. Lagorio to handle estate planning legal issues. My situation was complicated in terms of the recent loss of my husband and further complicated by the effects of COVID-19 on my ability to conduct business, especially during such an emotionally charged time as the los...s of a loved one, as well as the very real threat to my health. To say that I was overwhelmed and stressed beyond imagination is a gross understatement. Angelo "stepped up to the plate" and not only provided expert legal advice, but also emotional support and reassurance. He was patient and understanding, answering my questions and addressing my concerns in a timely fashion; easy to communicate with, which made the process of creating a living trust less intimidating; and provided me with reassurance and confidence by creating a "road map" to follow which can be a complicated legal process. I could not have asked for more support and expert advice. He comes with my highest rating, his fees were reasonable, and If the need ever arises again, I will reach out to Angelo in a heartbeat!

Outstanding

Angelo is very professional, knowledgeable and courteous. We felt very comfortable and confident with him handling our trust and will use him for any other future legal services. Highly recommend him to anyone.

Awesome Attorney. Would use again!

My wife and I were going through a very amicable divorce and thought that we had the divorce paperwork well in hand when submitting to Alameda County courts. We are both college educated and consider ourselves intelligent, but after spending 10-20 hours on putting the required paperwork together and ...waiting to submit to courts for an hour, it was still rejected by the courts due to its form. We had also spent $300 on LegalZoom to prepare the documents online. We were at a loss on what we felt should be simple since we agreed on everything. Thus, we went to Angelo in May, he reviewed and modified our documents for a reasonable fee, made re-revisions per our discussions, and submitted to the courts end of July. Within 2 weeks of submittal, we had an approved judgement. I can't thank Angelo enough for his skill, care, quality, and affordability. He never tried to charge us extra and more than likely did more than he charged. Thank you Angelo. You made an otherwise difficult process and situation, manageable. I recommend wholeheartedly!
