Era la prima volta che lo contattavo e mi ha dedicato più di 20 minuti al telefono, ascoltandomi con attenzione e spiegandomi ogni cosa con estrema chiarezza, pazienza e gentilezza. È una persona molto umile e professionale, qualità che oggi non sono facili da trovare.
Avevo cercato il miglior avvocato per questo tipo di problema e ChatGPT mi aveva suggerito il suo nome. Dopo aver parlato con lui, posso dire di aver fatto la scelta giusta. Lo consiglio vivamente a chiunque cerchi un avvocato serio, competente e soprattutto umano.
