$975,000 settlement for broken hip in fall

I contacted Mr Pietruska based on the recommendation of a friend, as I live about an hour from his office. During my consultation, I explained how the accident happened and my concern for getting better as well as the bills that were coming in every day. He stated he regularly handled cases like min...e and tried to calm my nerves. In my fall I broke my hip and tore my rotator cuff. I ended up needing surgery on my shoulder and had to have my hip replaced. It was a tough recovery but Mr. Pietruska made sure my medical bills were being paid. He was knowledgable and diligent in the pursuit of my case. The initial offer was lower than exxpected and Mr. Pietruska confidently assured me that we were not settling for small change. We went to court and he fought for me as the offers got better over time. Finally, during a settlement conference with the Judge the case was settled for $975,000. I was very happy. I would highly recommend Mr. Pietruska if you are injured in an accident.

Very Good Lawyer

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 mo...ney. 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

Great result at my Motor Vehicle Hearing!

I have had a lot of tickets over time. Unfortunately, that means I have also had a lot of points in the past. I need my license to work or I am screwed. I received one of those dreaded MVC letters that state "you are now suspended for 180 days"! One of my coworkers told me that Stan Pietruska i...s a very smart awyer who is great in the court room and had.gotten many tickets thrown out of court, helping him clean up his license. I gave him a call. I met with Mr. Pietruska and showed him my scheduled suspension letter which had me getting suspended in just 3 short days. Almost right away, he was able to get the MVC to postpone my suspension so that I could have a hearing which he had them schedule. On the day of the hearing, Mr. Pietruska went in with me and spoke to the Hearing Officer. She knew him well from having appeared before her before and she seemed to have a lot of respect for Mr. Pietruska. For once I was not feeling so scared! I let my lawyer do the talking. He was well prepared and knew my case inside and out. Mr. Pietruska pointed out that based on the facts the MVC had violated my constitutional rights by threatening to suspend me! He was able to have them waive my suspension and I was able to start driving later that day. I can't thank Mr. Pietruska enough for the job he did. He is a true professional and if you ever have license issues or ticket issues, you can not find a better lawyer. I would highly highly recommend him.

Great lawyer - Got me out of a suspension.

I was given 4 tickets for doing 105 mph in Newark. A speeding ticket, a reckless driving ticket, improper passing and a failure to stay in my lane. I went to court myself and was told by the prosecutor the judge would take my license for 90 days and I would have to take 7 points on my license. Tha...t not being an option I said I wanted to find a lawyer. A friend at work recommended Stan as a smart lawyer and told me that he won his dui trial in Montclair thanks to Stan's work. I met with Stan in his Bayonne office and we discussed my case. He understood the issues and what was at stake. When we went to court he did all the talking and was able to downgrade my tickets to only 2 points (from 16) and most importantly no suspension. When the judge started to yell at me , Stan politely interrupted him and stated "your honor, I have spoken to my client and he understands the situation and you won't see him here again." With that the judge fined me only $200 and sent me on my way. I really appreciated how he handled the whole situation and would highly recommend this lawyer.
