From the beginning Fred was fast to respond to my initial inquiry (while he was on vacation) when other lawyers took a week or never even responded. Fred was professional, understanding of my situation and on point with the the expected timelines due the delays COVID had put on the courts. The courts had objections on a few occasions and forced me to appeal on another but, Fred stood his ground for me and followed through until my matter was resolved as I expected. I recommend Mr. Sisto if you are in need his services. I will definitely use him again if I ever need to.

Fred Sisto is a professional, knowledgeable, and exceptional attorney. He is very responsive and maintains continuous contact with his clients via phone and email. Fred made sure that we understood the charges and was able to work on getting us the best outcome possible. He even went above and beyond in the court room by assisting with translation from English to Spanish. I highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of legal services and representation. In the future if needed I would definitely use him again as an attorney.
