"I can’t imagine using a different law firm. Angelo and Valentina always made me feel like I was their only case. They helped me understand the complexity of my case, respected my concerns, and provided on-target counsel. Decision making on my part was never difficult due to their attentiveness and support. If you are reading this review, I highly suggest you stop looking at other law firms. You have already found the best in class."

"Communication is key when dealing with something as important as a lawsuit. Another concern is not understanding all of the legal jargon and steps involved in the whole process. Corradino and Papa simplified those steps and communicate clearly, simply and often. They make you feel like family and make sure that you fully understand EVERYTHING about your case. Heidi Carrasco and Robert C. Papa (RC) were amazing and really helped me throughout the whole process. I'm grateful to have been a client and highly recommend them."

"I've had the pleasure to deal with Nick Schroter at Corradino and Papa, LLC since January 2023. He was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful with the process and procedures with the dealings of a motor vehicle accident. He fought for me until I was satisfied with the outcome. Nick was always available and prompt with responses and directions. I highly recommend using Corradino and Papa's law firm for any personal injury case you may have. I would definitely deal with Nick Schroter and Corradino and Papa again. "
