Perfessionalism personified

My entire world was turned upside down with a single phone call from a local police department. I have never met Attorney Salerno, but he came highly recommended. His office took my call and case the same day. He met with me the next day and successfully tried my case with an unbelievable professi...onalism that saved my career and family. I forever grateful to and highly recommend Anthony Salerno.

You Will Not Regret Hiring Anthony Salerno-

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.

OUI First Offense

I was arrested 2/19/17 @ 12:15 AM, rollover crash, hit a parked car, refused field sobriety test, and blew a .17. I was very shaken up and scared, and did my research on AVVO for an attorney. Boy, was I lucky. I called a few attorneys and they were all cut & dry, almost rude, hard to reach, very to t...he point. When I called Mr Salerno, not only did he answer on Sunday evening at 6 pm, but he was so kind, empathetic, genuine, and understanding. He must have spent a half hour just explaining to me what was going on, to relax, and comfort me. He promised me everything would be OK and exactly what was going to happen through and through, and even at the arraignment. This is BEFORE even considering hiring him. He told me what exactly to do at the arraignment, and EXACTLY what was going to happen to a tee. I met with him after my arraignment and he explored all my options. I ended up deciding to go with a CWOAF. He was able to get me free movement out of state to NH, and found a loophole in the law that allowed me to come off my one year probation in less than a year if I paid off my dues and finished anything I needed to get done on probation. After 8 months, he took the time out of his schedule to come down to Ayer Court and meet me on a Thursday afternoon just to try to get me off probation early. The DA tried to fight me, and he was so intelligent, smart, and professional. The case was dismissed, and I got off probation 5 months early. He is very, very, very knowledgeable about the law. He knew that immediately now I can petition to have my record seal to help with my job search. He will answer any question, and will always be straight forward, honest. But i will have to say I cannot believe how personable, comforting, and genuine Anthony is. I'm so grateful he could help me through this tough time in my life. Even the court officers said I got super lucky to have him represent me. He is simply amazing.

Attorney Salerno - Look No Further

From the moment I met Attorney Salerno, I knew I had made the right decision in retaining him to represent a family member who was facing OUI related charges. Attorney Salerno and his team have been responsive to all of our questions and treated the entire family with the utmost respect from the m...oment we met him on the day after the arrest until we all celebrated a total acquittal after a successful jury trial. If you make the wise decision to retain Mr. Salerno to represent you in court you’ll immediately see first hand how he is respected among not only other defense attorneys but the prosecutors and court staff alike. You’ll feel confident that your interests will be well represented and that he and his team will do everything in their power to ensure a successful outcome. I recommend Attorney Anthony Salerno without reservation. Retain him and his team and rest assured knowing you’re in the very best hands.

Outstanding legal defense

I am writing this review to strongly endorse the legal services provided by Attorney Anthony Salerno. I was facing several serious criminal charges related to a car accident I had been in. The case itself was very complex and presented highly unique circumstances. This was the first time I had... ever faced criminal charges and I was quite nervous and unfamiliar with the legal aspects of the situation. Based on a recommendation from a family member, I called Attorney Salerno in the early morning after the incident and he called me back almost immediately. He asked some key questions and invited me to a meeting at his office that next day to discuss the case in detail. At the meeting, he clearly articulated what he felt was the best legal strategy for my case and shortly after I made the decision to hire him to represent me. Attorney Salerno moved the court proceedings along as efficiently as he could, and at each court appearance, I could tell he was highly respected by everyone in the courtroom. In between court appearances, there were numerous times I called or emailed his office with questions or concerns, which were always promptly addressed directly by him or a member of his outstanding and highly responsive staff. They worked very hard to provide accurate answers to many different questions I had, which also helped me keep calm as the case moved through the various court dates. When the case was able to get to trial, Attorney Salerno presented a robust and vigorous defense in which he introduced several different elements of reasonable doubt into the prosecution’s case. He did this in a highly professional manner which I felt was very well received. His strategy resulted in a Not Guilty on the most serious of the charges! Hiring Attorney Salerno was one of the best decisions I made. He far surpassed all of my expectations and was a pleasure to work with. I am incredibly thankful for everything he did to resolve my case with such a favorable outcome. If you are ever facing serious criminal charges, you will definitely want to have Attorney Salerno by your side in court!
