Going to court can be nerve-wracking, no matter the issue. From the moment we met Jerry, he put us at ease. His expertise, familiarity with the court system and unwavering support were invaluable. The entire firm was friendly and professional, and we knew immediately that we were in good hands. - Linda

It seems there are no words in my vocabulary to properly express the depth of my gratitude to you. Really, how do you thank a person for saving your life? Not only have you provided me with excellent legal representation and counsel ... never once in the entire process did you make me feel like a lesser human being for the mistakes I have made. - Christine

My family and I presented a challenging legal matter as an injured party from a DUI hit and run case. The case required some investigation and negotiations with a large insurance company. Gerry was able to successfully resolve the case with results that exceeded our expectations. I recommend Gerry for legal representation because of his expertise and performance. - Andrew

I own an insurance agency and have sent several clients to Rocco for closings on new home purchases. Every time I sent a client to Rocco they returned with nothing but good things to say. He is very honest, professional and charges a very fair rate. - Ed

Thank you very much for your help with Mrs. (name withheld) and her son. It is greatly appreciated. You are and always have been a class young man who always was willing to help other people. If ever I can do something for you, please let me know. I hope you and your family are fine, and again, thank you very much. You are a terrific human being. - Jack

Attorney Valvano went above and beyond as my lawyer. He always made the time to talk to me when I needed advice and was very prompt in returning calls and following through with information. I have a great level of respect and trust in him and would feel very comfortable seeking his counsel in the future. - Elizabeth

Attorney Valvano has been my legal representative for the past 15 years. He had assisted me with all of my legal needs as well as closings on multiple properties. Rocco is always available to provide legal advise and make recommendations to guide me. I can honestly say, he has become someone who I trust and enjoy gaining advise from. - Ben

Chris represented me as a plaintiff seeking justice against a local pool installer. Chris is very professional and easy to work with. We were definitely prepared when it came time to appear in court. I am happy to report that the judgment was awarded in our favor! Highly Recommended Lawyer!! - Michael

Christopher is top notch. He is very knowledgeable and professional. He walked me through every step of the process, which really set my mind at ease. The outcome that he provided was actually much better than anything I had anticipated. I recommend him highly and will utilize his services in the future if I should need them. - Rob
