      Review Stanley Pietruska

      Lawyer got me $650,000 for neck injury

      Posted by

      I was injured in a slip and fall at a Best Buy store. Someone had spilled their drink on the floor near the entrance where you come in the store. I slipped and fell on it and my head and neck slammed onto the floor. I went to the hospital and was sent home. I followed up with an orthopedic surgeon who after many months of trying to treat me did an MRI and found I had a ruptured disc in my neck and I needed surgery. Mr. Pietruska helped me every step of the way and was very good with getting my medical bills paid. I made a good recovery from the surgery but still had some minor neck pain. The insurance company initiailly tried to bully us but Mr. Pietruska was not afraid of them. He fought with them and about a month before we were supposed to have a trial the case settled. It took alot of time, about 3 years, but the ending was great as Mr. Pietruska got me $650,000 for my neck injury. I recommend him to everyone I know as he is excellent.

      Best Attorney

      Posted by

      Mr.Pietruska is an amazing Attorney!!before hiring him I wasn’t sure what the outcome would be being I’ve run into some loser lawyers in my past ,but after being referred to him and reading so many LEGIT reviews that were definitely nothing less then accurate!I went on and hired Stanley the best decision I could have ever made !with having a suspended license for more then 5 years and many tickets and fines owed and possible jail time I was afraid of facing this issue but Mr.Pietruska was there comforting me the entire time ,He made sure I was heard and I was going to get the best deal He could get !rather then paying up to 6,000 worth of fines and possibly not getting my license back for two more years Stanley got me a great deal where I only paid a small fine and I will be able to drive again in 30 days!!! There was one review that really stood out to me when someone stated Mr.Pietruska was (“SuperMan” ) this review stood out because it was the truth !because of Stanley my children and I will no longer be walking nor traveling in public transportation !I am beyond grateful I chose Stanley !can’t wait to recommend him to so many more people who are in need !best Traffic Attorney ever !Thank you so much !

      3 Tickets & License Suspension

      Posted by

      In March 2019, I was pulled over on Secaucus Road in Jersey City. The officer gave me two tickets. One for Speeding and the second one for Reckless driving. Both tickets carried 5 points. I already had points on my license which meant that my license could be suspended. I found Mr. Pietruska and immediately emailed him explaining my situation. He called me back and walked me through the whole process and explained to me how he will fight the charges. He obtained a new court date for me in May 2019 and we waited. Two weeks before I was due at court I was pulled over again in Jersey City and issued another ticket this time for "Failure to yield to Pedestrian". This ticket carried 2 points. I once again emailed Mr. Pietruska and he told me he will add this ticket together with the other two and he will resolve them all at once. On the day of the court Mr. Pietruska did an amazing job, he got the speeding and reckless driving tickets dismissed, and I only plead guilty to the 2 point ticket for failure to yield to pedestrian. I walked away with only 2 points and NO license suspension. I highly recommend Mr. Pietruska if you ever get any traffic tickets.

      I received 3 tickets totaling 8 points and approx $350 in fines. I researched and found Mr. Stanley and I'm glad I went with him. In our initial discussion, he made he felt comfortable with the process and assured that he will get the most favorable outcome. The communication is vital to me, and he was easily reachable either via text/ email. He was able to get me 0 points and have other fine lowered to offense. I would highly recommend him if you get a ticket in Jersey City, NJ.

      Superman to the rescue.

      Posted by

      Its easy to get in trouble and fall behind when you are not working for a while. I found myself in the position of owing close to $7000 in overdue fines (meaning old stuff I already plead guilty to in the 1990s). To make matters worse I was caught driving while suspended for the 4th time. When I went to court the judge told me I was going to jail for at least 10 days if I plead guilty plus he wanted me to pay my overdue fines with money I didnt have. While having a drink at a local bar I was telling my story to a couple of guys and the bartender says "This sounds like a job for Superman". I just laughed. I didnt know that the "Superman" he was referring to was Mr. Pietruska. Evidently alot of people in Jersey City refer to him by that nickname because he gets people out of really tough spots. I went to see him and he charged me a very reasonable price, especially thinking about all I was facing with the judge. When we went to court, Mr. Pietruska spoke to the prosecutor and the police officer. He was able to get the police officer that he didn't 100% remember me or the stop as it was several months ago. He then asked the judge to dismiss my charges (including the driving while suspended and two others) and he did. Then the judge asked about the $7000 and Mr. Pietruska pointed out to the judge that I had been incarcerated for more than a couple of months back in the early 2000s on some unrelated stuff. The next thing I know the judge was knocking this penalty and that interest off and told me if I paid him $1500 within 30 days we would be even. I was so happy. Thanks to the lawyer know as "Superman" I have my life back on track. I have paid what I owe the court and I am retaking the driving test to get my full license back. I can't thank Mr. Pietruska enough he is the guy to call when you are in a bad spot.

      Traffic Tickets in Newark

      Posted by

      I would like to give my honest review for Mr Stanley. I was pulled over at a red light. I was handed out 4 traffic tickets or a possible suspension since i was out of state driver license. But Mr stanley fought my traffic case. he was responsive via text or email at any given time. Being from out of state and having a court date can be a nightmare. But Mr Stanley took care of it and assured me.i would rate him 5 stars.

      Fall in store got me $125,000

      Posted by

      I slipped and fell in 2015 at a major supermarket in Bayonne that I didnt see and went down hard. As I landed on my right arm I twisted funny and felt an ache in my right upper arm. Turns out I has a small tear of my rotator cuff. I went to my Dr. and while there he recommended that I see Mr. Pietruska as the accident was not my fault. I went to the lawyers office and found him to be genuinely interested in my case and also in my getting well. He told me how important it was to get healthy and that no amount of money is wrth your health (SO RIGHT!). I left the case in his hands and while the insurance company dragged their feet, Mr. Pietruska kept fighting for me. It looked like the store was going to make us go to court but they finally settled for a number I was happy with which was $125,000. I feel Mr. Pietruska really put a lot of time into my case and it was his work that got me such a good settlement. I highly recommend him.

      Had two Tickets, both a possible License Killer with Mandatory Imposed State Fines not to mention Increased Auto Ins. fees. Mr. Pietruska said that he would get both Tickets DISMISSED with minimal fine and both TICKETS were DISMISSED with ZERO FINES . Highly Recommended.

      Very Good Lawyer

      Posted by

      I got arrested earlier this year when a buddy asked me to go to his old job, after hours, as he needed to pick up his final paycheck. My friend still had the key to the place so I thought everything was cool. Well we went there and he lets us in and he goes to the drawer and takes an envelope of money. I figure its all legit so not even thinking anything bad. Turns out they had a video and arrested him and I the next day. I was charged with Burgulary and was facing up to 10 years state prison. Having not been born in the US (Im from South America) I was told that I would have immigration problems if I got any conviction on this charge. One of my friends had used Mr. Stanley before and said he was a very good lawyer. I met with him and we discussed my situation. He told me what to expect and what his goal would be which was to get the charges downgraded or dismissed so that I would not get deported. He also gave me a lawyer fee that was fair and worked with me. We went to court like 5 times but at the end Mr. Stanley was able to convince the prosecutor to let me get a diversion program which would not give me a criminal record. I am really thankful for this second chance that Mr. Stanley gave me and would recommend him to all my friends
