HORRIBLE PERSON

He is a liar and did nothing for me at all. Didn't even show up to my case and sent some guy I never even met to represent me. He never kept in touch with me to explain what was happening since the beginning of my case. I always had to call him several times before I actually got him on the phone.... He never explained anything to me in 2 years of waiting for something to happen. Hence the reason why I had to constantly call him and chase him to find out what the status of my case. He called me out of no where stating I had to rush to the court house for my case and be there within 30 mins or I will loose my case. I have never been through this process before so I didn't know what to expect. I highly doubt a normal trustworthy lawyer would handle a case like he did. I would never recommend him to anyone. On top of not following up with me or explaining anything to me he was extremely rude and talked down to me like I was dirt. I wasn't allowed to ask questions. When I did ask a question I was yelled at and belittled. He didn't make me feel comfortable and treated me horribly.

Worse Lawyer I have ever encountered

I wish there was a 0 star rating. I don't know how this guy is even considered a lawyer. Does not have a secretary, is never available, never tells you what to expect. I had a deposition and wasn't prepped for it. I had a million questions none which ever got answered. This guy is a joke. Did nothin...g for me.

Took risk that other lawyers would not

Apparently you cannot file a claim against a city in New Jersey. At-least that's what I was told by two other lawyers, before contacting Mr. Pisano who just said "come on over to my office". Inside of ten minutes he dictated formal notices on my behalf which apparently preserved my rights. Within day...s he hired an engineer to establish the negligence of the city and contrary to the advice of the un-energetic lawyers I first spoke to, Mr. Pisano was able to obtain a large settlement on my behalf, which is having a long term positive effect on my finances. More people should be aware of this man as he refuses to advertise, but out works any other attorney I am aware of through unreal energy and enthusiasm.

Bluntly candid efficient to the max

Lien machine like no other. Takes your call, often on the first ring. Minimizes inconvenience. Personally communicates steps in your case often in the evening, so as to give adequate time. Pushed my case out to trial in record time at which time the insurance carrier paid out the entire 250,000.00 po...licy. Very entertaining if not charismatic guy. Looks, dresses conducts himself at all times like the top tier professional that comes to mind when thinking of the ultimate lawyer. Energy level of this guy is incomparable.

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.

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."
