Lawrence J Avallone

A young driver in our family committed a very serious traffic violation. Larry was able to negotiate the issue down to what we consider a very fair (you might even say lenient) outcome. Larry is a joy to work with: he is sympathetic, has a good sense of humor, and a relaxed, informal style that ma...kes his clients very comfortable. At the same time, he makes clear the risks and consequences of their choices, and advises and counsels his clients with their best interest at heart. Larry is a great communicator, kept us informed of all issues and deadlines related to our case, and recommended steps we could take to get ahead of the game. Larry is aware of his own strengths and does not hesitate to recommend another attorney or resource if appropriate, which he did when we asked him about an unrelated legal matter. With his previous career experience as a law enforcement officer and state attorney, Larry has a valuable network of counterparts on "the other side," and is respected by members of the law enforcement community. Don't trust the outcome of your important legal issue to a TV personality or a stuffed shirt in a fancy office. Call an attorney that is down-to-earth and will work to get you the best possible outcome. Call Larry now.

Larry was referred to my by a friend after I found myself involved in a traffic violation that was later escalated to a possible misdemeanor. His knowledge and expertise in the field was instrumental in helping me to bring this unfortunate event to a resolution that was suitable for all parties invol...ved. Beyond that, it was his personable style, work ethic, prompt follow through and response that was most helpful. He was able to provide me with sound advice and made himself available when needed. I trusted putting my defense in his hands. He has a calming demeanor and puts the client at ease knowing that he is representing you and your best interests. I would highly recommend Larry to anyone who finds themselves in a situation that requires an attorney for consult or representation.

Mr. Avallone represented me in a Florida traffic citation case. The citation could have resulted in a substantial fine and points against my driver's record and insurance. Because I am not a Florida resident (I reside in South Carolina.), I used the Florida Bar referral service to locate an attorn...ey who would be willing to handle my long distance case. Mr. Avallone was the second referral I received, and I am very happy that I kept looking until I found him. When I first talked to Mr. Avallone to explain the circumstances of my case, he was very attentive and understanding. He asked questions. After I decided to engage his services, we began a lengthy e-mail exchange of information and ideas on how he thought he could best present my case at the hearing. He file the necessary paperwork with the court to schedule the hearing and kept me up to date on my case. Mr. Avallone was always patient with and quickly responsive to my frequent questions. He explained how he intended to approach my case and relieved much of my apprehension. After the hearing that resulted in the dismissal of my traffic citation, Mr. Avallone notified me immediately by e-mail. When I asked him what had taken place at the hearing, he quickly replied and briefly described the interactions he had had with both the hearing officer and the law enforcement officer who had issued the citation. Gaining their cooperation and agreement, Mr. Avallone successfully negotiated the best possible outcome for me: a complete dismissal of the citation, that is, no fine and no points. While I hope to never have to go through this process again, if I do and it is in a jurisdiction where Mr. Avallone practices law, I will certainly use his services. I will also highly recommend him to anyone else who may be in need of similar legal assistance. Mr. Avallone represented me personably and professionally. I could not have asked for a better attorney in my circumstances.
