Anthony M Salerno

I was facing an OUI among other charges back in September for the first time and I was so afraid of what was to come. I did not know where to begin or what I was even looking for in a lawyer so I started calling law offices left and right. I interviewed over 10 lawyers and after talking with Attorne...y Salerno and his Paralegal Erin on the phone, I knew I wanted them to represent me. They took the time to meet with me to explain the charges I was facing and the possible outcomes but most importantly; they made me feel at ease every time I talked with them. Attorney Salerno always showed up for all my court appearances. We ended up going to trial and Attorney Salerno was a boss in the courtroom; in the classiest and most gentle way he crushed any evidence against me and basically discredited the arresting officer’s testimony without even breaking a sweat. The result: a quick non-guilty verdict on all but one (traffic/moving violation). Attorney Salerno had my driver’s license reinstated on the spot the day of the trial. I can’t thank Tony and Erin enough for their hard work and support. As you can see, I already did all the homework for you, now do yourself a favor and retain the Salerno Group right away!

I was in a rough spot. After receiving my first ever criminal charges I was being held behind bars, without bail. It was recommended that I seek out Attorney Anthony Salerno, which is some of the best advice I’ve ever received. Tony was able to get me released from jail for a low bail in a very qu...ick manner. As I returned into the real world and normal living, Tony explained the process of how he would go about having my charges dismissed. He has been there for me at every step and operates with a very professional and assuring manner. It’s been nearly a year, but I just received the great news that a motion which Tony argued was upheld, and my charges will be dismissed within two weeks! Thanks to Tony I can continue my life without having to worry about a stained record affecting any future opportunities. Tony’s fee was also lower than other attorney’s who came less recommended. In a long process like the one I’ve been put through, there would have been many opportunities for a less reputable lawyer to charge an extra fee. That has NEVER been the case with Tony. My family and I are more than thrilled with his performance and professionalism. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking counsel in a criminal matter.

My driver’s license expired and, due to a beaurocratic nightmare at the RMV, I wasn’t allowed to renew. (The RMV thought I had an outstanding/unpaid $4 MBTA parking ticket and wouldn’t allow me to renew until it was cleared, but the ticket had been paid months prior and wasn’t properly cleared from ...the system.) An officer in Shrewsbury ran my plate (still unclear why, that’s another story) and I was cited for the CRIMINAL (not civil) offense of driving with an expired license. Yes, only in Massachusetts, this is a criminal offense. I am a physician, so even being charged—let alone convicted—with a criminal offense could prevent me from maintaining my medical license. Needless to say, I was extremely concerned about the potential ramifications and decide to hire an attorney to represent me. After doing some research, I hired Attorney Salerno. This was like hitting the jackpot. He was able to get the case resolved with no criminal complaint against me, meaning I was not formally charged with a crime in the end. This was the best possible outcome, and I am extremely grateful to him. Part of the reason he was so successful in my case is that he knows the system and the players very well. He is a former police officer himself, and he clearly had the respect and attention of the clerk magistrate and police officer who were present at my initial hearing. In fact, the first thing the magistrate said when we walked into the room was: “Attorney Salerno! How can I make your life easier today?” I was immediately reassured and knew that I would get a fair hearing. His familiarity with the individuals involved, and with the process itself, definitely set a good tone for the hearing and things went really well after that. He presented all the evidence, succinctly summarized my case, and we were out the door before I knew it. I’m convinced that Attorney Salerno’s representation was instrumental in getting the favorable and fair outcome that I received. I would hire him again in a heartbeat, but I hope I never need to!

I needed a lawyer In Worcester county for an incident my daughter had. Not being from the area, I did a basic google search and found Attorney Salerno. I hired him right away after just one brief phone call to his office . His staff is excellent and always kept us informed. Attorney Salerno is very p...rofessional and personable. He did a fantastic job and got us the outcome we had hoped for . So glad I found him and would highly recommend him.

I found myself in a tough situation after having totaled my car in the woods after a night at my friends house. I faced charges of an OUI, negligent driving, failing to stop at a STOP sign, and having an open container in my car. I unfortunately subjected myself to the breathalyzer and field sobriety... tests and blew way over the legal limit. Needless to say, I felt completely defeated. It is hard for me to admit, but I had been in this situation prior two years before and hired a lawyer who talked me into paying more to have him represent me versus his associates, yet I never met him until the day of my trial. I was arrested for blowing under the legal limit and in my opinion, it should have never even gone to trial. The only reason why I got off is because the cop didn't show up to testify and not because of any support from my lawyer. I was lucky but disheartened by how much I spent to be so poorly represented and I unfortunately thought this was a holistic view of how all defense lawyers would be. This time around, I was definitely in deeper water with my situation and scoured the internet for reviews and references. It seemed like a lost cause based on the evidence against me but Salerno's reviews gave me hope. I reached out to his office and got a response back quickly. He assured me he would do everything he could to get the best result for me. I hired him immediately hoping that he could get me at best, a watered down plea. However, he did even better than that for me. His expertise found a way to have my breathalyzer thrown out so that a trial was possible for me. He allowed me to make my own decision but having had the breathalyzer thrown out, I saw that we had a good chance of fighting the OUI charges based on the other facts of the case with a bench trial so I decided it was worth the risk. The day of the trial, Salerno had a strategy and clearly had examined all the evidence closely. He reassured me and the witnesses I had with me as soon as he got there by walking us through what to expect. He used his previous experience as a cop and his extensive knowledge of the courtroom to our favor. He was my confidence that day and we ended up not even needing to call my witnesses to testify. He successfully convinced the judge that there was more than reasonable doubt of my guilt and got the OUI dismissed along with the open container charge. All I walked away with was a CWOF on the negligent driving that would be taken off my record in six months. I was astounded at how the whole thing went and am forever in Salerno's debt. Between the wonderful team at his office (Erin) and Anthony Salerno, I cannot say thank you enough for their help. At a fraction of the price I paid previously for a lawyer who could not have cared less about me, Salerno showed me what the difference was between someone who does the job to get paid and someone who does the job because he cares; He truly understands that good people get into bad situations. Anthony Salerno saved me from endless stress, bills, and a criminal record I would not be able to erase. If you ever find yourself in a similar and unfortunate situation, Salerno is definitely the one to reach out to for help. Thank you to both Anthony and Erin for your kindness and support during one of the worst situations I have faced.
