‘Camilla di Fonzo's support was crucial to the in-depth study related to the case we submitted. She proved to be capable, skilled, and extremely helpful for what is a sensitive case. Highly recommended.’
‘I work mostly with Dr. Luigi Fontanesi and Dr. Camilla di Fonzo. They are a great team. I rely very much on them for any important decision in my business. They are extremely professional and very resourceful. They suggest solutions before the problem even appears. Furthermore, they are very proactive, and it’s very unusual for me to have found a law firm that calls me more often than I called them. I am very lucky and would recommend them always.’
