I highly recommend Attorney Harrington. He is very professional and is committed to helping the client. He was able to guide me through the legal process and made sure I understood it. His assistant Ruth Mattos was prompt and friendly whenever I had questions.

I had a very good experience working with Attorney Polito and his staff. My case was not a very serious one, nor did hold opportunity for a large pay day. However, the staff always made me feel that my case was the top priority when interacting with them, and they always knew the latest status of the case! Attorney Polito provided excellent advice and guidance throughout the process and never pressured me to make a decision I was not 100% comfortable with. Always willing to represent me in the way I wished. They were kind, professional and empathetic! I would recommend them to any of my family

10/10 recommend Polito & Harrington, LLC.
I had the pleasure of being represented by Attorney Joe Coppola, he was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and caring every step of the way. My case was on going for just under a year, and Attorney Coppola was sure to keep in touch, and informed on all aspects of my case. Always a phone call away, and happy to answer any questions, or concerns. Nevertheless, couldn’t be happier with my results in working with Attorney Joe Coppola, and his Firm provided for me.

Attorney Harrington goes above and beyond for his clients. This experience was a first for me, and he made sure to guide me every step of the process. Not only is he very knowledgeable, but he also is attentive to his clients. At times when he was out of the office, his assistant Ruth, who is also very knowledgeable, was on point with guidance. The entire staff is friendly and helps ease any anxiety when going through this process. I highly recommend this office, and Attorney Harrington!

The first thing I must say is. Do you believe that your attorney is HONEST. Whether it’s a male or female. Humbert “Bert” Polito & his firm are absolutely HONEST. I had a problem with a case & a real good friend of mine told me to speak with Bert. I spoke to Bert in Connecticut, I live in Maryland & Bert practices in Connecticut. Bert said he would see what he could due for me. The only problem is that he cannot practice in Maryland. Bert worked with me & the Insurance Company. One thing he did say was that because we couldn’t go into court they were going to play games. So that’s just

I was referred to Atty Polito after I was the victim of hit and run car accident. Atty Polito was a wonderful lawyer, his staff was great as well. He was fair, patient, very caring and kind. He was also very accessible the whole time we worked together. I'm very glad I hired him and I would most definitely recommend his services to others.
