About Allemano & Berlingieri Lawyers

Allemano & Berlingieri Lawyers, which markets itself as Algoma Lawyers, is a small firm based in Sault Ste. Marie with a second office in Wawa. It traces back to 2004, when Peter J. Berlingieri and the late Beniamino (Ben) J. Pascuzzi opened Pascuzzi and Berlingieri Law Firm LLP in Sault Ste. Marie. In 2017 that practice combined with Allemano & Fitzgerald Lawyers, founded by the late Michael C. Allemano and Christopher P. Fitzgerald, and adopted its current name.

The firm today is run by Berlingieri, called to the Ontario bar in 1999 after degrees from the University of Windsor, and Christopher P. Coccimiglio, who holds a Juris Doctor from Windsor's law school. Between them they cover real estate, corporate and commercial matters, wills and estates, municipal law, and civil litigation. Two practices set the firm apart from a typical small-town general practice: non-resident real estate work for buyers and sellers outside Canada, handled alongside a Canadian tax accountant for CRA clearance certificates and non-resident speculation tax filings, and Indigenous law work covering corporate structuring, Economic Development Corporations, and self-governance advisory for Indigenous communities and businesses. The Wawa office means clients outside Sault Ste. Marie don't have to travel to the city for routine matters.
