I cannot say enough good things about John Coletti. I would give 10 stars if I could. It's not often that you meet a lawyer who looks to do the right thing. My husband was in a terrible car accident and we needed legal advice, but were not sure if we needed to retain an attorney. Mr. Coletti took time out of his busy schedule to give us very helpful and clear advice. Other attorneys only wanted us to sign on the dotted line. Instead, with Mr. Coletti's advice, with no pressure to do anything. we were able to work out a fair settlement on our own. I'll never forget this man and how he helped us in our time of need. Also, his assistant was always helpful and supportive. I highly recommend them!!
John is everything you would want in a personal injury attorney. He is thoughtful, intuitive and very smart. He cares deeply about his clients, takes great care to understand your situation, and is incredibly fair. In the courtroom, none compare to John.
