I can't believe it's been over a decade that I've known and worked with this lawyer...and I will continue to call on his services as long as he remains in practice. That is how valuable his experience has been to my family and I both in my medical career and personal matters. Since day one, he's consistently been available and accessible whenever I needed his services. More importantly, he takes the time to make sure that we are both on the same page before moving forward. He is honest, to a fault, and most importantly, he is matter-of-fact and straightforward in his advice and counsel. He provides the information clearly and concisely so that you may make the best decision for yourself/your family. I wholeheartedly recommend and truly appreciate him.
Thank you, Doctor Lopez, for your kind words. I am glad you are pleased with the service provided you and your practice. It is always my pleasure to work with and for clients who collaborate with me for the best outcome even when they may not, themselves, see the same at the outset. Again, thank you for your support. I am always here if you ever need anything else.
A few years ago, when I exited a company that has a reputation for being extremely litigious and heavy-handed with intimidation tactics—cease and desist letters, threats of legal action, the whole playbook—Michael stepped in and handled everything with precision. He was thoughtful, detailed, and strategic in every response. There was no emotion, no overreaction—just clear, well-crafted legal positioning. After only a couple of firm, properly structured responses, all legal activity stopped. The intimidation ended. They moved on. What stood out most to me was how easy Michael made the process. I don’t live in the legal world, and he took complex issues and explained them in a way that was simple, practical, and actionable. He’s a strong communicator, incredibly detail-oriented, and someone you feel confident standing behind you. If you need legal counsel that is steady, sharp, and effective—especially in high-pressure situations—I highly recommend Michael Troncellito!
Thank you Mr. Harris for the kind words. We are very happy that you are pleased with how we conduct ourselves and the results we obtained. We are always here to help you and yours. Thanks again.
Michael is incredible, dilligent, straightforward, comes with a wealth of knowledge and delivers top notch quickly. The best lawyer I have ever worked with ( I have had several over 35 years). Very reasonable rate. I will keep using him for all my business and personal legal matters. Consult with him before hiring any one else or if you feel your current lawyer is not performing to your expectations. Michael drafted our wills, new LLC, Operating Agreement, Independent Contractor Agreement and more, including addressing ways to successfully navigate compensation for work already completed where price and terms had not been previously agreed up by the parties. He's amazing!
Susan. Thank you for your kind words in your review. I am very pleased that you had a good experience, and I hope to have the pleasure of working together again in the future.
Mike helped me tremendously with my business. He kept me informed throughout the entire process and explained everything in a clear, easy-to-understand way. Despite the stress that comes with running a business and needing a lawyer, he made the whole experience smooth and comfortable. He was extremely responsive and delivered on everything he promised. I couldn’t be more satisfied.
Mr Troncellito was referred to us by someone we respect and trust. We hired him to assist with property division and the establishment of individual LLCs. We thought we knew how we wanted to proceed. Mike thoroughly explained why our idea left us more exposed to risk. His knowledge and experience were invaluable to us. He is no-nonsense and to the point, which we appreciated. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mr Troncellito.
Michael Troncellito is an outstanding attorney that has assisted our company over the past 16 year. He is a straightforward person/attorney who helps the client achieve the best possible outcome. He takes the time to clearly explain the process and steps involved, different possible scenarios and outcomes, and always keeps you updated. He is a no nonsense strategic thinker with great attention to detail. With attorney Troncellito's expertise, commitment and dedication, I know that me and our company is always in good hands should a legal matter need attention. I would highly recommend Troncellito Law to anyone in need of an excellent attorney.
Michael Troncellito has always come through for us on cases and got us great settlements. He gets the job done and explains in detail the best way to make this happen. He produces results and in quick manner. He is master problem solver and deal maker.

Chris. Thanks for the kind words. I am always available to assist with your company's legal needs.
I’m very grateful for the help I received from Michael during a contract dispute with a business partner. From the beginning, Michael was professional, calm, and extremely thorough. He took the time to understand the situation, explained everything clearly, and worked diligently toward a resolution. Michael’s guidance made a stressful situation much easier to navigate. I would not hesitate to recommend him again.
Thank you, Mr. Macomber. I am glad you were pleased with the work and how the situation was handled. I am always here to assist you and yours. Thanks again for such a wonderful review.
I have worked with Michael on contract matters and have been consistently impressed by his professionalism and attention to detail. As someone in the insurance industry, I have also recommended him to many of my own clients. The feedback from those referrals has been excellent across the board. Michael is knowledgeable, highly responsive, and truly cares about achieving the best outcome for his clients. I highly recommend his services for anyone in need of a reliable and determined attorney."
Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.
The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.
Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page
Martindale Peer Reviews
Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.
What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*
• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.
• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.
• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.
Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.
Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
