Takes care of details

Mr Pisano won a very large award for my uncle over twenty years ago. I over heard him talk about his work ethic, never anticipating that I would ever need his representation. That changed the night my car was flipped over in an intersection accident as a result of a drunk driver. What startled me wa...s the realization that my own insurance company attempted to discourage my doctors from treating me. Mr Pisano successfully arbitrated my medical care twice and ultimately forced the insurance carrier to pay out the entire 300,000.00 insurance policy within fourteen months. Never unavailable, with an amazingly up beat optimistic attitude. True professional charismatic advocate for his clients. Nothing gets by him. Nobody blows a deadline with him involved. Clients who find their way into his office, grow to realize that few individuals in any field operate at his level. Simply impressive in all aspects. See for yourself.

Turned my terrible personal injury experience into a blessing in disguise!

In March of 2013, I was attacked by a large dog, who ripped the lower half of my face apart so badly that it had to be reconstructed by a plastic surgeon. The whole experience was more traumatizing that you can possibly imagine, and left me out of work with huge medical bills. John came to see me in ...the hospital the night of the surgery (which was 6 pm on a Saturday!) to discuss my case. He gave me hope, so I hired him. Over the next year and a half, Mr. Pisano worked tirelessly on my case, making decisions that I felt were absolutely in my best interest. The case finally settled in September of 2014 (which is when he originally told me would probably be the time we finished up) and I ended up with a large settlement. I was finally able to pay off all the bills that kept piling up from not working. (I ended up with very bad PTSD, so haven't been working.) My cable had been shut off, my power about to be disconnected, and I was facing eviction. I was also able to continue the medical and psychological care needed to heal from this event. I couldn't have done any of that without his hard work. Mr. Pisano is brilliant. He is fast, sharp, knowledgeable, and professional. He did SUCH an amazing job with my case. The entire time he was working on my case, I really felt he cared, and made the best decisions for my case. I highly recommend him. He's wonderful!

Sharp and fast

I am so happy with Mr Pisano's representation. I agree with the other reviews. He takes or returns all calls. Each time I inquired about something that I believed should be done, I learned Mr Pisano already did it. 1 year after my case settled, an unreasonable Doctor, that dropped the ball on submi...tting my bill to insurance, filed suit against me, Mr Pisano jumped all over the problem and counter sued, the Doctor. His fee was already earned, but he enthusiastically cleaned up this unfair conduct of the Dr. Great guy. True gentlemen. His loyalty is to his clients.

Doesn't back down

I had a tough case with real injuries, requiring three surgeries.,Mr. Pisano was hit with more aggressive tactics by the insurance company than I ever foresaw. I was experiencing financial problems, which caused my insurance to lapse, when the accident occurred. Despite a law that said I could not s...ue, Mr Pisano was so innovative, that court allowed my case to proceed and I received a large award, that compensated me and covered all of my dr bills. This man is the real deal .

Warp speed

John filed my lawsuit 3 days after my accident occurred. He succesfully fought my own insurance twice when medical care was denied. What really impressed me was his unwillingness to consider delays. It is almost as if he takes the last syllable in his name literally, when deling with the insurance co...mpanies. My case got to the trial phase in fourteen months which I am told is incredibly fast. Problem was there were no judges available. Instead of falling to the back of the line, Mr Pisano negotiated an agreement where three retired judges heard my case and got me a huge award. Overwhelmed, if not thrilled. But for Mr Pisano's tactics, my financial situation would not be anywhere near as good as it now is.

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"John Pisano is, without question, one of the best personal injury attorneys in the state of New Jersey. There are very few attorneys who handle cases as well as Mr. Pisano. He takes a no nonsense approach to his practice to ensure that he gets the best results for each and every client. His law firm is truly unparalleled in that way. He manages every case with exceptional expertise. He is a seasoned attorney having handled thousands upon thousands of personal injury cases with outstanding results. There are countless personal injury attorneys in New Jersey, however, finding quality representation is vitally important for clients to have some peace of mind after sustaining injuries in an accident. I have worked with Mr. Pisano and have seen first-hand how his representation is far superior to that of other attorneys. Attorneys of this caliber are few and far between. Mr. Pisano is surely one of the best."
