empathetic and ethical

I contacted Mr. Delsignore looking for advice concerning alcohol possession by a minor. Mr. Delsignore was extremely well informed of the process. He answered my emails with a phone call. He assured me that we could represent ourselves in this situation without hiring him as legal council but assu...red us that if he was needed during our court appearance he would make himself available free of charge and if we than had to return to court he would charge us a fair rate. He answered many email questions and returned many phone calls over a 3week period without compensation. He sought us out in court to explain the proceedings and made sure he was accessible to my son if he was needed during the hearing. He was patient and empathetic. Having no experience with the criminal justice system I received a lot of differing information. I was told by one lawyer it would cost $2500 to get the case dismissed or put into a diversion program. I was told by another that they could do the same for $1500. I was then fortunate enough to call Mr Delsignore who informed me that dismissal prior to arraignment and/or diversion are no longer practiced and that the case would be straightforward and we could handle it but that he would make himself available free of charge the day of arraignment. I feel fortunate that I was able to find such a smart ethical empathetic lawyer. I can not say enough about the quality of Mr. Delsignore

Minor in possession of alcohol

My child was charged with possession of alcohol by a minor while attending a concert at the Comcast Center. We are from out of state and had no legal experience. I contacted 3 lawyers for advice. The first told me he could get everything dropped fo r$2500, the second told me he could do the same f...or $1500. The third contact was Mike. He advised me that because of the large alcohol problem at the Comcast center the courts were no longer dismissing these cases no matter how much you pay a lawyer. He also advised us on the court process and probable outcome. He said he does not usually take these cases because they are pretty straighforward and he did not want to charge a young person money to take care of a situation that they could handle themselves. I appreciated his honesty and integrity. Over the three week period until our court date Mike returned and email messages with a personal phone call, he contacted us on A saturday night to answer yet another question and made himself available the day of our court hearing to answer questions and advocate for a quick fair resolution. He did all of this free of charge. Mike made my child feel that even though this was a bad choice and a bod situation there are still good people in this world who wil come to your aid. I can not say enough good things about Mikes knowledge, integrity and attentiveness. Thank you Mike

DUI case found not guilty

Michael was professional, prompt and organized. He was well versed on the case going into court and was sharp, direct and eloquent with his deliveries. He brought to attention many details of my case which made it impossible for the judge to find me guilty beyond reasonable doubt. I feel very fortu...nate to have had Michael represent my case as I now do not have a DUI on my record!!

Case dismissed! (1st offense DUI)

I had been arrested and charged with a DUI about 8 months ago..I have no record, and no driving offenses, and I was petrified of what would happen.. I didn't know how the whole system worked with arrests and whatnot, you only know what you see on TV, really. Sunday after my arrest, I was scared, ...anxious, and upset.. I started to look for someone to at least give me some advice, and I came across Attorney DelSignore's website.. immediately I started reading all of the testimonials from his other clients, and decided to give him a try.. he picked up immediately, and took the time to ask about the situation and agreed to meet with me THAT night. Just the fact that he took the time out on a weekend to just meet with me, and answer any questions and concerns that I had, showed that he was a caring, compassionate lawyer who would help me get through this ordeal. Mike agreed to represent me at my arraignment the next day, and from that day on, he was totally accessible, for any questions or concerns, day or night, and that alone put my mind at ease. Throughout the entire process, he kept me up to date on any changes, as well as any decisions he was making as to our next move in the case. On my behalf, he prepared a motion to suppress, as well as a supporting memo that was requested, and based on his hard work, the motion was granted in my favor, therefore getting the charges against me dropped. I couldn't have asked for a better result, and I certainly couldn't have asked for a better attorney. I highly recommend him!

Felony, Larceny Over 250, Dismissed!

I left a message to initiate consultation with Attorney DelSignore on a Sunday. He returned my call promptly that day and explained my options in depth. I was an anxious client, who contacted him on several occasions with questions and concerns that he was always happy to address with patience and ...expertise. I was facing a Felony conviction, Larceny over 250, which was dismissed at my second court date. I cannot thank him enough for representing me and highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for an attorney that will go above and beyond with your best interest at heart!
