Truly a Super Lawyer

I was injured in a car accident in Essex County when someone made a left turn in front of me. I broadsided the other car. My wrist shattered and I ended up with surgery to put it back together. After several months of physical therapy, I was finally able to go back to work. During this time, Mr. Piet...ruska listened to my calls and offered solutions to my problems when they came up. He was very knowledgable on the law and fought with the insurance company who offered a measly $50,000 at the start. As time went on we did a deposition with the other side asking me alot of questions. I was well prepped by Mr Pietruska himself and I found it interesting that many things he told me they would ask during our conversation before were actually asked. (It was like having the answers to a test in high school!) When the time came to do the arbitration on zoom, my lawyer was ready to do battle. I left it in his capable hands. I received an award of $250,000 which the insurance company rejected paying initially. Mr Pietruska told me we should prepare for trial and that he would file papers to block one of their experts. He was successful in getting the insurance company's doctors report partially blocked. After that it was a couple of weeks of him negotiating but in the end he got me $250,000. I was very happy. I would highly recommend him and would say Mr. Pietruska is a Super Lawyer who will do a great job for you.

3 Tickets & License Suspension

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 imme...diately 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.

Savior

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 h...e 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.

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.

Awesome Lawyer

In October 2014, my son was arrested for armed robbery. His bail was $100,000 and he was facing 10 years with 85% even though this was his first arrest. One of the boys my son was with gave a statement against him and the victim identified my son as the one with the weapon, the prosecution had a go...od case. I was referred to Stanley by a friend and I have to say hiring him was the best thing I could have done for my son. The case moved slowly but Stan kept in contact with me every step of the way. In September 2015, my son was released into a drug program and did not have to do anymore time than the 11 months in the county jail. Stanley was able to get my son a second chance to get his life right. I would refer Stanley to anyone looking to get out of a tough situation.
