Zealous Taffic Stop

Its was in the mist of a snow storm that a police officer pulled me over on a city street. He asked me why did I severed. I explained that if I did severed it was due to the condition of the road (4 inches of snow) and not due to any careless on my part. The officer then asked me for my paper work. A...s I gave him my papers I said that he must of known that I was doing 15 miles an hour if he was behind me. He took my paper work and came back with 4 tickets including careless driving which came with 2 points and a high fine and driving without a license. The next day I called and consulted with 5 different attorneys. I choose to hire Pasquale because he came across the most self-assured. He explained to me what he was going to do and what outcome I could expect. While I know there are no guarantees, I already felt protected by his confidence. On court date, Pasquale had my careless driving reduce to a much lesser charge with no points and my driving without a license to not having it on my possession (keep me from a 6 month suspension and 3 years of $250 yearly insurance surcharges) and dismissed the 2 other tickets. The money in fines, points and surcharges Pasquale saved me was well over what I paid him for his services. Hiring him was the right decision and a good investment.

Was facing a drug charge for a year and a point ticket

I was facing a drug charge for possession of less than 5 grams for a year and points on my liscense for running a red light. I needed his help because I facing the prime of my year as becoming a senior and I couldn't have this on my background as a social work major because I was going into doing my ...internship to finish off my year. Thanks to him, He was able to get the charges dismissed and have my point ticket turn into a no point ticket. I praise God everyday for him because he saved my education and now I have been accepted into my internship. Thank you Pasquale Vella. Keep changing lives.

Excellence

Mr. Vella was able to keep me from having 4 points added to my license which would have cost me a lot on insurance and problems for work. I am so grateful to him for his professional expertise. Thank you for being the greatest.

Recommend with full endorsement.

Pasquale Vella has been our attorney twice. Within a one month period of time, two of my sons were involved in incidents that resulted in traffic court. In both incidents, Pasquale was knowledgeable, accessible, diligent and thorough. In one case, he was able to have the charges against my son r...educed significantly and eliminated the option of my sons having a permanent record. In the other case, he was able to get all of the significant charges against my other son completely dismissed! What an amazing sense of peace his expertise brought to me as the parent! Furthermore, his confidence in the courtroom is both comforting and assuring. Outside of the courtroom, he is simultaneously personable and professional when providing consultation. In short, he is a superb attorney that I would recommend without any hesitations and with full endorsement.

Meticulous

I had a case, that if found guilty, could have changed my life in terms of my career. There was evidence that the prosecution had, but my lawyer meticulously went through the paperwork from the case and found out there were items missing from the discovery, and he made numerous attempts to recover t...hem from the prosecution. They didn’t have it and it was my right for my lawyer to have these documents, to properly defend me. And due to this, He got my charges dismissed!! I will choose this lawyer over and over again. He is young, handsome, knows his stuff and He graduated from Syracuse Law. If you want a lawyer that actually does the Work choose Mr Pasquale Vella. He rocks!!!
