Testimonials

Excellent experience from start to finish. Marco was brilliant and made a very difficult situation more bearable. He advised me in a professional manner and nothing was too much to ask. I would highly recommend.

From the initial request, price quote, discussion and follow up we couldn’t have wanted a better, more personal and quick approach to help us have a contract checked over. Marco was extremely helpful, personable and knowledgeable. He cut through all the lawyers jargon and made it all very easy to understand. We would wholeheartedly recommend Wollen’s and are looking forward to working with Marco as our sons career progresses in the future.

We hit it off immediately with Marco Floreale. He totally understood what we needed and helped guide us through the the backwards and forwards of critical parts of the matter. We genuinely felt he was interested in what we were doing.

We were very happy to feel we were in ‘safe hands’ and would be able to go back to Marco Floreale in the future knowing he would give the same attention to detail that he gave us at the beginning of our journey.

Marco Floreale has been very good when working with me, showing interest in my sport and me as a person. Very good at getting things done and keeping on top of things, and overall a nice person to be working with.

Marco Floreale has been incredible as a sports lawyer and agent. He is passionate about what we do and his enthusiasm and support resonates amongst his colleagues too, We feel part of the team.
