Best Case Scenario

All in all Michael DelSignore saved my future. I had been arrested for my first DUI in May of 2015. As a college student and full time worker I was crushed by the impact this mistake could have on my future. I spent hours debating whether or not hiring a REAL lawyer was the right decision. Thank god ...I did and thank god I found Michael. I went to meet with him for the first time about a month after my incident. He was not fazed by my young age and was incredibly flexible with the hiring procedure. I immediately felt like he was listening intently to my situation and he clearly knew what he was doing from the start. The entire process lasted about 3 court visits and a total of 9 months. Mr. DelSignore was available and informative throughout every moment of that VERY unsettling period. He checked in with me before every upcoming date and was always prompt with responses if I had any worries or questions. Every step of the way was clarified and explained which made the waiting period that much more bearable. My final court date was yesterday and I could not be more pleased with Michael's preparation and execution. He discussed my case with the DA and ultimately was able to negotiate a plea agreement which knocked off my DUI account in place of a minor Negligent Driving account. He asked me if I would agree to this plea agreement and we both agreed that it was the best case scenario. I was so relieved and thankful that he worked so hard to get this outcome. Not only that but he came to court fully prepared for a jury trial. He came with slide decks, presentations, and enough of a case to make any DA intimidated. Even though all of this preparation was unnecessary with the plea agreement, he never took any short cuts in helping me and that showed through enormously. If you are in a bad position because of a mistake you made, Michael DelSignore is absolutely the man for you. He truly went above and beyond to help fix my own stupid mistake and I owe him a great deal for saving my reputation and future. I hope those of you who find yourself in a similar situation will feel a sense of relief knowing there is a lawyer out there who truly cares about your issue and who will work to the best of his ability to help ensure the best case scenario. Thank you Michael, I truly do not want to know where I'd be without you.

Case dismissed thanks to Attorney Michael DelSignore

Recently, our daughter got caught shoplifting at a retail store near where she attends school. She said it was an honest mistake but as we have always taught our kids, mistakes have consequences and this was one of them. Never being in this position before we asked around about what we should do and ...were advised to find a criminal defense attorney in that area who would represent her should she receive a notice to report before the clerk magistrate for a hearing. So the morning following the incident we did a Google search of attorneys and came upon Michael DelSignore. Our first impression was that he had a kind face and that was really reassuring to us. As we read everything on his website we quickly realized he was the attorney we were going to call first. It was a weekend when we called and Michael answered the phone right away. We spoke for a few minutes and gave him the details as we new them at that time. He asked a bunch of questions and gave us feedback that made us immediately realize that we were not going to look any further than him for an attorney. Michael quickly got in touch with our daughter at school and every time they spoke she found him thorough and reassuring which helped her feel a little bit at ease. It was a frightening time for her and for us. The day of the hearing he spent time with our daughter going over again how the hearing would proceed. Being young and graduating soon she needed to get this dismissed so that she would not have a record that would follow her for a long time to come. Michael represented her and everything was dismissed. We were way outside our comfort zone that day being in court. We were worried and nervous but Michael's kindness along with his calm and pleasant manner made us all feel like everything was going to work out okay. And it did! We are so grateful and thankful that we chose Michael to help us. We highly recommend him to anyone who needs a criminal defense attorney. We wish him the best from the bottom of our hearts.

Knowledge, Integrity, Honesty

I consulted with several local lawyers to determine how best to resolve my legal matter (non DUI/OUI), but only Mike had the integrity and honesty to inform me that I would be able to resolve the issue on my own in court without retaining counsel. Mike walked me through what to expect for my day in ...court and provided guidance as to how best present my case. His clear, specific instructions, which included the names of folks I would need to speak with, demonstrated his knowledge of the law and familiar relationships with local court officials. Mike even provided his direct line and happily answered some last minute questions the morning of my hearing. I'm happy to report that the issue in question is resolved! Without Mike I would have wasted a lawyer's fee on someone with far less integrity, and would never have had the peace of mind I had throughout the entire process. Luckily, my legal issue was less serious than a DUI/OUI. However, if you're faced with a serious charge, or even if you would just like a honest consult from someone trustworthy, I HIGHLY recommend you give Mike a call. He can help.

DUI Client

I hired Mike for my case that was ongoing for a year. He was very thorough in explaining the process and helped me get through each day in court. I was able to call him any time of day and he was available. In the end Mike was able to help me come to an end and I was found not guilty for the charges ...against me. Mike thank you for all that you have done to help me with resolving this case.

DUI

Mike has been a blessing to me. I was arrested after crashing my car to the point that it was total due to my husband taking the wheel from me in the mass pike going at a highway speed limit. I had just came from a restaurant and had a couple of drinks and after admitting to it, I had to perform a f...ield and sobriety test. I failed the sobriety test and breathalyzer test after being arrested and I did not agree with the charges against me. Since the first day I contacted Mike, he was very attentive to what I was saying, provided me with lots of documentation of what to expect in a case such as mine, was always available to speak to me over the phone and was very quick in responding to my emails. On the day of my bench trial, due to Mike's experience and knowledge, I was found not guilty of all charges. I could not have put my trust in anyone else except for Mike. He gave me a sense of hope and peace of mind from the first day I spoke to him on the phone. Thank you Mike, you are a blessing to me and my family. God bless you and your family!
