My grandfather recently needed an attorney for the first time in his life and Andy Garruto was recommended to him. On behalf of my grandfather Harry and the entire Morsch family we want to share how appreciative we are for Andy’s work and we highly recommend him to anyone in need of representation. Andy went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure my grandfather was treated with kindness, patience, and respect, while he handed his case with the utmost professionalism.

The first experience I had with Andrew “Andy” Garruto was shortly after I graduated college and was hired to work with him as a paralegal. He proved to be an excellent mentor, extremely knowledgeable, supportive, patient, and kind. His genuine character, integrity, and care for clients left a lasting impression on me that I have carried throughout my career. Andy continues to successfully serve his clients today with the same level of integrity and exceptional care. He is very easy to speak with and takes the time to really listen. His accomplishments and reputation as an attorney truly set him apart from others. If you have the opportunity to work with Andy and his staff, know that you are very fortunate and in good hands.

I found the office of Andy Garruto very helpful. The team was always quick to respond to any questions I had and very helpful. They were sincere and very knowledgeable. I still stay in touch with their office and my case has been settled for quite some time---that should tell you something about Mr. Garruto. I highly recommend his office.

I can't say enough of the professionalism that Mr. Garruto represents. I have consulted with Mr. Garruto on several occasions and he has provided me with expert advise. Each time I called him, I felt like I was speaking to a friend not an attorney. He knows his stuff and most important put my mind at ease. I highly recommend Mr. Andrew Garruto.

Andrew was the perfect lawyer for my case because going into it I was extremely terrified of the entire process. It made me anxious and I know I drove him, his staff, and my parents NUTS about it. But every SINGLE time I had a question or felt uneasy regarding an aspect of the case, Andrew was RIGHT THERE either in person or on the phone at 10pm talking to me about it and calming me down! He is extremely professional and what I mean when I say he is a "no frills" kind of guy is that he will not sugar coat anything for you. Maybe because I also do not sugar coat things for people is why we got along so well but when it comes to lawyers you definitely want to deal with someone who knows what they are doing (ANDY ALL THE WAY!) and who doesn't sugar coat responses to you or the plaintiffs. I hope to see you again Andy, just not for legal business :-)

Andrew was very clear on the rules and regulations per NJ. Also, was very informative about how I should go about my situation. I will definitely recommend him.

Andy Garruto is an excellent and most importantly an effective attorney. I waited for my baby's pictures for over 2 years and once Andy got involved I received them in a matter of couple of months. He is down to earth, professional and dependable. He would check with me often ( and from the time stamps on the emails I don't know if he ever sleeps - he is always accessible). I know he had more important cases than mine but I was treated as if I was his number one priority. Overall it was a great experience I would highly recommend his services to anybody!

I sought legal counsel from Mr. Andrew Garruto, with the law firm of Garruto & Calabria, regarding a vehicle accident I was injured in. Throughout my legal case, Mr. Garruto exemplified excellent communication, research and professional skills. His analytical and attention to every detail were evident. Mr. Garruto listened to my concerns and answered all my questions with ease and understanding. Mr. Garruto continually kept me abreast of all developments. His professionalism is outstanding. His office staff was knowledgeable, compassionate and helpful. I was very pleased with the outcome of my case, and would employ Mr. Garruto in the future

I have had two awesome experiences with Andrew Garruto and staff. On my first encounter, I found the staff to be very friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. I felt welcomed right from the door. When my name was called, I walked in the office and there was Mr. Garruto with his hand extended for greeting. He offered me a seat. As I sat down I found the client chairs were very comfortable and relaxing. My visit was just a few days past my accident therefore I was in pain and feeling really nerves and confused. Andrew began talking to me making me feel very comfortable and made it easy for me to explain my story. By the end of our meeting, I felt like I had known this man for a lifetime. His attention to detail, his analytical skills and creativity, his research abilities and professionalism, his public speaking were ALL impeccable! As I sat in the court room, I smiled within knowing I chose the best to represent me! I trust Mr. Garruto will all my legal affairs. I'm sure if you make you initial consultation with Andy you won't want to go anywhere else!
