John M. Gioffredi's Reviews

This is my 2nd experience with a law office. John and his staff were extremely professional, knowledgeable, friendly, courteous and had excellent communication. Anytime I had a question or concern, someone was there to advise me. They took my case seriously, and in the end were able to have it dismissed entirely for a very reasonable fee. If you're serious about your defense in Dallas County, I highly advise their firm.

MY FELONY CASE CARRIED OUT FOR OVER NINE MONTHS DUE TO DELAYS FROM THE D.A. AND THE COURTS. MR. GIOFFREDI CONTINUOUSLY WORKED ON MY CASE AND KEPT ME FULLY INFORMED ON THE STATUS OF MY SITUATION. HIS OFFICE WAS ALWAYS AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT I HAD. I COULD NOT HAVE MADE A BETTER CHOICE FOR MY ATTORNEY AND WOULD RECOMMEND JOHN GIOFFREDI TO ANYONE IN NEED OF AN EXCELLENT LAWYER.

John Gioffredi is always available to consult with other attorneys and offer valuable advice. He is considered a great legal resourse. He often speaks at lawyer seminars. His approach is practical and down to earth. He is number one for criminal defense cases.

I have been referring people to John Gioffredi for years. Finally, I needed hm again myself after a LONG time of no tickets and - WHAM! He found a way to get my ticket dismissed. His team is the BEST!

John was awesome from the start to the end , Excellent in court .I would highly recommend Jonh , his staff were very good also they kept me in the loop the whole time ,

John was very thorough in his review of my case. He went above and beyond in exploring every option to make sure I was treated justly. He is a great at what he does.

John Giofreddi was the best lawyer I could have retained for my case in Dallas.... he was very knowledgeable of the law and provided me with a clear understanding of the charges against me.....with a great outcome regarding my case. I would recommend him to all!!

I have know and used the services of John Gioffredi for 16 years. John is a leader in his field and I have recommended several friends and clients to him over the years. I always get a big thank you from the people I refer to John. John Gioffredi is the best defense attorney in Dallas.

My case was dismissed thanks to Mr. Gioffredi. I was very happy with the results.

John Gioffredi is by far the BEST criminal attorney in the Dallas Fort Worth area and beyond! He is incredibly knowledgeable and savvy in all facets of criminal law/DUI. Not only is he on top of his "game", his office staff is always there for you 100% of the time - pre/post court appearances. I would never ever call upon anyone else in a circumstance that could/will potentially affect your life forever! John is trustworthy, fair and reliable. He sincerely is the cream of the crop in criminal law! Thank you, John, for all that you’ve done for me (and my friends!)!!

John and his staff are excellent in every way. They helped me understand what was going on with my case from day 1. Even though I moved out of state during the middle of my case I was emailed everything I needed to know, which was a huge help. When I first met John he explained his methodology to me. Fast forward 4 months to the day of my court case. While waiting in the lobby of the courthouse, multiple lawyers come up to him asking him about papers he published and what he thought about this case or that case. Inside the courtroom everyone knew who he was including the judge and it was apparent he had a good rapport with all of them. John didn't take my case and run with it, he explained to me all of my options, what his thoughts were and asked what my intentions were every step of the was. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney for this case and I ended up getting a not guilty undoubtedly thanks to him.

If you are up in the air about picking an attorney, go talk to him and present your situation. As far as payment is concerned he was worth the money and his office is very good about payment plans. I would definitely recommend John to my closest family and friends and in fact have done so already.

John and his staff kept me informed truthfully about my options regarding my case. They were prompt in their responses to my phone calls. They always took the time to answer all of my questions, and never made me feel as if I was taking up too much time.

Law firm handled everything for a ticket for driving on a suspended license, and was able to get the charge reduced. His office is efficient and made the whole process easy.

Mr. Gioffredi was very straight forward and worked with me on my payments. Made me understand what I was facing. I am very happy with the outcome of my case!!

I hired Mr. Gioffredi in Feb. of this year for my 2nd DWI. (would have been 2nd) He was able to get it dropped. I am so thankful. A friend of mine talked to her lawyer-friend. This lawyer referred John and said that if it was his second offense then he would go with the best. John is very comfortable and confident. Hopefully I will never need to hire an attorney again but if I do, it would be John Giofreddi!!

My friend recommended him to me after he got bailed out of a couple of speeding tickets. I was clocked going 102 mph on a 60 mph speed limit zone. I was pretty lucky I didn't get thrown in jail. All it took was a couple of court appearances and my case was dismissed.

took my retainer to handle some tickets for me and knew from the begining the tickets were issued by a constable and he has done this for long enough that he knew that because a constable issued the citations they were locked in .. no getting out of them the only way to handle these citations was to pay the fine and let them go on my driving record he could have told me that from the very jump and saved me the retainer fee he took and did absolutely nothing for. except tell me the amount of the fines about three months after the fact

I have been using John's firm for traffic tickets for about 15 years. They have gotten loads of traffic tickets dismissed for me. They have a professional, systematic setup to handle these tickets.

In 1981 at the ripe old age of 16, I got my first traffic ticket. Dad said call this guy, it was John Gioffredi. Man I'm glad John was good. Kids under 25 do not need a ticket on their record insurance sky rockets. Gio, if I never said thanks, thanks. So about every other year for some reason I've had to use his services. What I like about John, he cares, he ask me the right questions, listens, gives me options, finds out what I want to do, then he does his best to do what I want. He helps me get what I want. I love it. What more do you want form an atty. If you are considering trusting John to defend you. Trust him, he knows what he is doing, He has the expreince you need, the expreince you want.

John is a smart and funny guy.His knowledge of the law helped me stay calm and collective during my trials.He will push for what's best for your case.Mr. Gioffredi is a responsible and reliable lawyer who will aid you in getting the least possible punishment with a case if not getting a clean dismissal.It's a privelage to have John as my lawyer.

John Gioffredi himself has represented me twice to date in a trial setting where the outcome was a not guilty verdict.

The first was initially charged as assault on a public servant (cop) and resisting arrest back in 2003. The basic premise of this case was two cops, one from Dallas and another from Garland, who were both in the same car, what they referred to as a "ride along", tried to accuse me of attempting to break into my own car (wth?) When I started becoming a bit of a smart ass with the officers I ended up spending the night in a Garland jail with a fractured nose that was spewing blood and snot all over the place. Mind you, I was up against two cops with no video evidence of my innocence. They ended up dropping the assault on a public servant charge but proceeded to prosecute me with the resisting arrest charge. I called Gioffredi's office to see if he'd mind sitting down with me for a quick consultation. He agreed to meet me after he was through with court for the day. So I stopped by his office and we discussed the details of the case. He stated that resisting arrest is often little more than a bullshit charge, and that's exactly what it was. Fast forward 1.5 years. In the trial Gioffredi meticulously picked the testimony of both officers to pieces. You really have to see this guy work, it's pretty cool to follow his logic. The jury was convinced by his smooth and easy to digest explanation of the law and how it applied to the case. End result, Not Guilty! When the trial was over and I had my not guilty verdict in hand, Mr. Gioffredi even referred me to another attorney to handle the civil suit over the excessive force that the police officers used.

Throughout the years I've used Gioffredi's office numerous times for speeding violations and the like and have had great success. Once I even was given deferred adjudication probation for speeding in Rowlett, violated it by speeding in Rowlett again and was simply given more deferred adjudication probation. I'm telling you, this guy is insanely good at what he does.

Skip ahead to February 2009. I got pulled over for what the officers stated was a speeding violation. They said they smelled alcohol on my breath and asked me to get out of the vehicle. As naive as I could be I complied and began to take the field sobriety tests. If you've used Gioffredi for anything before, you'll know this is stupid because I blatantly disregarded the verbiage on the back of his card. Anyway, judging by the video I saw in court, I botched the walk the line test up pretty badly... in fact, instead of turning around I walked the line backward losing balance and using my arms to stabilize myself. From that test alone you'd have sworn I was hammered. I was arrested and transported to Lew Sterret where the officers attempted to get me to submit to more tests... at this point I started referring to the back of Gioffredi's card which I've had to use on numerous occasions for traffic violations. It basically says don't submit to the tests... no tests... no evidence, no evidence means not guilty. They just kept asking me to take more tests and more tests and reading from this checklist type sheet of paper as if they didn't hear or didn't care about me declining to take the tests. I became a bit of a smart ass again and spent the night in jail. I called Gioffredi's office up and arranged to go to trial. My license was suspended for 180 days for refusing to take the breath test or give blood but Gioffredi's office handled getting me an occupational license that would allow me to drive just about anywhere in Texas but only for 12 hours per day. I did get to split the 12 hours up however I wanted, but I had to do this in advance by creating a schedule of when I needed to drive. During the trial Gioffredi pulled out books and written sworn testimony from the cops and again began to pick their testimony to pieces. At one point in the trial, he actually had the Dallas cop of 20 years admit to performing the HGN (follow the pen with your eye) test improperly for

I used this law firm in 2005 for a traffic violation and when I just tried to renew my license this year (2010) I found that they had NOT taken care of the ticket even though they gave me a pink slip that said it was taken care of. Now I have to fight to get it taken care of, and they are completely unwilling to take care of what I already paid them for! I am a legal secretary and this law firm came highly recommended to me by the attorneys at my firm. Evidently they take care of you if you are an attorney, but otherwise they could care less.

I have used this lawyer on several occasions and find him to be responsive, professional, fair with fees, and to keep me properly informed as necessary.

Mr. Gioffredi helped me through the most stressful time of my life, dealing with a DWI. His professionalism, knowledge and honesty were greatly appreciated. His demeanor is calm, cool and collected. His assistant, Trish was very helpful, organized and informative. Mr. Gioffredi helped my brother get a legal issue resolved a few years ago with a not guilty verdict and I can thank him for the same. My family will continue to use Mr. Gioffredi for any legal matter we may face in the future. I highly recommend his services to anyone faces DWI charges, he is the best!!

I am a practicing attorney and have used John for my own matters and have referred many clients and friends to John for representation. He is always done a terrific job for me and my clients. Incredibly, only 3% (or less) of the 60,000+ traffic tickets is handled and gone on to his clients' driving records.

I have used Mr. Gioffredi more than once. Instructions provided are timely and clear, fee is reasonable. If the ticket can not be dismissed, follow up instructions are also very thorough. If you do what they tell you to do, you can get through going to court with the least possible stress.
This time I was very happy to have my ticket dismissed.

My spedding violation was dismissed from my record. In dealing with Gioffredi and Associates, I found the whole team to be very attentive and profesional when handling my case. I will recommend them to anyone needing legal advice or assistance.

I have used Mr. Gioffredi on a few occasions and have referred several people to him On each and every instance his firm did an excellent job, and obtained a favorable result. I woul highly recommend him.

I had two traffic citations with a cdl license one was dimissed the other deferred. Could not be more pleased

John was responsive and gave great advice during my whole trial process. He was knowledgeable and got strait to the point when we discussed topics. When it comes down to a DWI I want it to be black and white with no grey areas and John was quick to answer with a no nonsense approach. My experience with John was fast, efficient and economical considering the circumstances of my particular situation. I would recommend him to anyone that has gotten themselves into a DWI situation.

John was able to keep 2 tickets off my record and did it very quickly. Not being eligible for defensive driving, John was great option.

Helped me obtain a successful resolution of my charge; exhibited a great amount of knowledge concerning my case; and generally served as excellent counsel during the entirety of his representation.

I really thought I would be treated like a number but was very pleased with their attitude when I went to the office. There were a couple of changes for my court date and not only did I receive letters but also a phone call verifying each letter.

John has handled traffic tickets for me more than 20 years. My experience has always been very good. While there is no guarantee that any case will be dismissed, most of mine have been dismissed. Since I can't seem to drive the speed limit, John has helped me maintain a clean driving record.

I used Mr. Gioffredi for my speeding ticket, he came very recommended. He handled my case with quick resolve. Thank you Mr. Gioffredi for your hard work. I would recommend Mr. Giofreddi to family, friends, and anyone.

Great job and than you for all your help.

I highly recommend John Gioffredi for traffic tickets. He is very experienced, and his assistants and office personnel are top-notch. I wouldn't use anyone else in Dallas.

I have referred John to many clients and referrals over the years with great success. This is the first time I used John personally, and his office was very efficient, professional and did a great job in getting my ticket dismissed.

John handled my second DWI charge, as you cam imagen this is a very important case. I got his information from a friend who also used him in the past. John is trustworthy and was very knowledgeable of my case. If it would not have been for him I could have been facing prision time...I would like to not only recomend him but thank him for his service.....

John represented me 5 years ago and I can honestly say I could not have chosen anyone better. He is extremely knowledgeable, honest and helped me make the right decisions. The implications of being convicted with a DWI are far greater than I ever imagined and can haunt you the rest of your life. Having an Attorney you can trust and rely on makes all the difference. I would definitely recommend John above all others.

It was a great pleasure to work with John, he was open and honest throughout the entire process, and I would highly recommend him for any legal circumstance.

John Gioffredi is simply the best DWI attorney in the DFW area. I was arrested on an alleged DWI. I called a lawyer friend of mine to get a referral to an attorney who was an expert in these matters. Without hesitation, he gave me John's name. He said that he is the lawyer that lawyers go to. Not only is John very experienced, but he is extremely confident in what he is doing. While I took an extended period of time for my case to go to trial, he and his staff stayed in touch with me to update me on where things stood. When my case finally went to court, John was outstanding...outstanding to the point where both the prosecuting attorney AND the judge commended him on his representation. Fortunately, I was rightly found innocent of the charge, but win, lose or draw, I would still wrtie the same. John Gioffredi is the very best DWI/DUI attorney in the DFW metroplex, if not the state. Highly recommend!

I was refered to John by a friend who knows a few lawyers that have used John's services. So I said if other lawyers use John he must be good. I was not disapointed. He was very professional but down to earth. He always made me feel at ease and explained things so I could understand. His office staff was also a pleasure to work with. I would always receive letters with court dates and a follow up phone call a few days prior to the court date. I would refer John to anyone who needed a great lawyer.

After being charged with DWI a few years back, an attorney friend of mine recommended John. He went on to say if he was ever charged with one in Dallas, John is who he would use. To me, this speaks volumes. I found John to be an extremely competent counselor and recommend him highly. Though I hope I am never again in the position to have to use an attorney for a DWI, if it is you in that position, John is your man.

John Gioffredi was phenomenal and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for legal representation! I went to several different lawyers looking for someone to handle my DWI case. Other lawyers were exorbitantly priced, rude, condescending, knowledgeable and vague about their expectations for my case.

I first called John's office on referral from a friend. His office said he was in trial, but promptly provided me with his cell phone number to reach him. John was able to meet with me the next afternoon and spent more than an hour and a half with me discussing the specifics of my case and the options available to me. He is clearly very experienced and was very patient explaining everything. John was a breath of fresh air after other lawyers had been impossible to get a hold of and shoved me out their door as soon as possible. Given his expertise I expected exorbitantly high fees, but his price was more than fair with no hidden or additional costs!

John was very dedicated in resolving my case and came out with an outstanding "not guilty" verdict. John always had a respectful demeanor in court and was easy going on a personal level. He made a brutal process much more bearable. Conversely, I've spoken with several other people who needed legal representation at one time or another and have not yet met one person who was satisfied with their lawyer. Most have terrible horror stories about their experiences and paid thousands of dollars for their disappointment. Don't make the same mistake they did and just settle for any lawyer!

Even the people in John's office were outstanding. They helped me out with a few unreasonable requests and were always kind and patient. Every time I called they knew me by name and were familiar with my case.

I've since referred John to my close friends who required legal representation. I have other friends who have used his services in the past and all speak very highly of him. I'm convinced that you simply cannot find more experienced, more knowledgeable, more fair and more dedicated representation in Dallas!

I had met John socially and discussed DUIs and the such with him. I had had one several years ago that I was not pleased about my representation. John gave me advice and it suck with me. Then I unfortunately was stopped by the Dallas DUI squad on Greenville. Following John's advice I was able to get this off my record. Everyone in his firm is polite and helpful. I recommend him to friends all the time and he refers me to other lawyers in other specialties that I need help with. I would make him your first call in case of DUI, tickets, criminal defense, etc. Also if it is something he doesn't do he knows a good lawyer who does.

I have used John Gioffredi since 1980 to represent me on at least 10 ocasions. He and his office have been sucessful at keeping all of the traffic offenses off of my driving record and have always handled my cases in a professional and gracious manner. I have and will continue to recommend John Gioffredi to all of my friends, family and associates.
