I needed a divorce attorney and I needed one that I felt like I could trust. From the minute I called Mr. Fiorletta, he showed a genuine concern, not only for my case but for my personal safety. He was so easy to work with and what I appreciated the most was the fact that he actually answers his phone! None of my calls / texts went unanswered and to be honest, he would reach back out to me the same day, normally within the hour. Divorce is not pleasant, but it's so much easier when you have someone like Mr. Fiorletta in your corner.

 
Expungements

I hired J. Allen Fiorletta to handle my expungement of 2 felonies from over 24 yrs ago, after unsuccessfully being able to accomplish this through another attorney and myself. From the start, I knew that Mr. Fiorletta was the right attorney to handle my expungement hearing and case. He proved to be very knowledgeable, thoughtful, and responsive to all my questions and inquires from start to finish.

Very quick to get back to me anytime I had a question. Also answered any question I had, no matter how dumb of a question it was. He was very knowledgeable. First time ever hiring a lawyer and I’d have to say the price is a bit much however he will work with you on almost any payment plan you want and it was very simple to pay in a way that fit my budget.

Allen did a great job wining my case! There was a small hiccup early on with paperwork not getting to the court, but Allen helped work through it quickly.

BE NOT DECEIVED BY THIS CON MAN!!!!! He charges a flat, non-refundable fee of $5,000 right off the bat, promising to do everything he can to help you. Well, for that price, one would expect $5,000 worth of work done on their behalf. ALLEN DID NOTHING. He moved Heaven and Earth to see that he got his money, but when it came down to business, he used a variety of stall tactics to avoid having to get a court date set and when he finally DID get a court date set, it was too late. He didn't even have the basic courtesy to contact my fiance or myself to tell us that he wouldn't even be proceeding with our case. We contacted him a day or two before we expected to be in court, just so that we could go over everything with him, and that's when he decided to tell us that he was done with us. He did absolutely nothing to warrrant $5,000 worth of work, I was actually the one who did all of the research, fact-finding, etc. He was utterly useless to us. He is a piece of human garbage.

 
DUI/DWI

Hired Attorney

I accepted Mr. Fiorletta as my lawyer to assist me through the legal process of my case. He was more pricey than other lawyers I had contacted, but I explained to him that I was willing to pay more because I couldn't afford to lose my driver's license. He allowed me to make payments, which I appreciated at the time, but looking back I have no idea what I really paid him for. He initially seemed knowledgeable about my case, but then told me one thing and let me believe one thing, and completely changed it later on in my case, leading me to firmly believe he did not know what he was doing.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
