“The best of the best!”
Ernie is a gifted litigator who made our family feel comfortable and safe. He protected us every step of the way. Our case was long and complicated and not only did Ernie learn about this rare condition, he became an expert! Having someone that we could rely on and protect us the way that he did is unimaginable. We are extremely grateful and feel fortunate that we found him. I highly recommend Ernie Fronzuto as an attorney.
