Michael J Pastacaldi

I have had my share of disappointing experiences with attorneys throughout my adult life, however, there are situations that cannot be resolved without the professional help of an attorney. My initial office visit was met with not only a high level of professionalism, but I was also given the opport...unity to feel comfortable enough to ask questions. This allowed me to become a more informed consumer and empowered me to fully understand the course of action needed to resolve the issues at hand for me. The process of seeking the help of an attorney can be a difficult one so I felt very fortunate to have had Mr. Pastacaldi resolve my particular case with expediency and absolute favorable results for me. Mr. Pastacaldi returned all of my many calls without fail and took the time to discuss each one in great detail. Mr. Pastacaldi keep me abreast of any and all details pertinent to the case and was gracious enough to devote the time to make sure I understood everything before I hung up the phone. In my opinion, this sets Mr. Pastacaldi apart from other attorneys I have worked with in the past. I have experienced being squeezed in for an office visit to sign legal documents, only to be rushed out due to the time constraints of the attorney. Many times I didn't understand the entire process or what the documents requiring my signature fully meant. Clearly I'm not stating that I need to understand everything involved in the legal process, but rather an overall idea of what's going on. This is the level of service Mr. Pastacaldi provided and I'm both grateful and very pleased with how things turned out for me. Needless to say, I would recommend Mr. Pastacaldi to anyone needing legal services.

Michael was very supportive throughout the whole legal process. He kept me updated daily and the day before made sure we went over any possible questions that may arise. He was very knowledgeable and willing to answer all the questions I had in a clear and direct way. He also understood how stressful... this was for me and always had a positive outlook. Would absolutely recommend to anyone in need of an attorney.

There will never be a thoroughly sufficient method to fully express my gratitude for the extraordinary care and professionalism that Mr. Pasticaldi exhibited during the entirety of my criminal case. Mike was clearly consistent, professional, personable, efficient, detail oriented and always commu...nicated with me regarding the status of my case. I was never in doubt about any matter in my case, where my case was headed and I was consistently informed of what was happening from the Prosecutions end and the Courts perspective. I felt that with Mike managing the case not only was I assured of outstanding representation, I always witnessed that there was always a sense of calm, determination, confidence, and a "can do attitude". When a client has an Attorney that provides a sense of trust and dignity with everything that he does as Mike consistently exhibited in my case; it left me with a complete feeling of sheer integrity, thoughtful leadership, honesty and stewardship regarding his representation. After dealing with several lawyers in the past it was really astounding, exhilarating and refreshing to have a lawyer that actually listened to what I as the client had to say, provided instant feedback and guidance, and without fail always returned calls, and responded in a very timely manner with consistent updates and vital information. During the entire process of the case from Superior Court, to Appellate Court to the New Jersey Supreme Court where Mike secured a unanimous decision from all NJ Supreme Court Justices, I always knew that my best interests were paramount. Mike never faltered, never backed down on legal arguments, and was always respectful with me, the Court, and the Prosecution. Mike during the entirety of my case was always articulate, goal oriented, and forward thinking. Mike always exhibited and then acted in a Confident and assertive manner that made me feel supported and it was always clear to me that Mike was in control of my case and that his direction was always clear, definitive, and "on point". I can without any hesitation truthfully state that Mike Pasticaldi should be nominated as one of the top 100 best criminal lawyers in the State of New Jersey and that Mike should be honored by his fellow professional associates for his exemplary legal stewarship without delay. I highly recommend Mr. Pasticaldi to everyone and anyone that I come in contact with that requires an attorney with scruples, integrity, humility, and conscience. I anicipate that great and significant legal history will be fostered by his steady, capable, and extraordinary professional ability. Mike Pasticaldi is truly a Lawyer with "True Grit" and a down to earth demeanor that is rare, unexpected, and truly refreshing. Thank you Mike for being the lawyer we all dream we could have when we are battling for justice and our life. Respectfully, John

Michael is by far one of the best lawyers I've come across. I would recommend him at the highest recommendation level that one can as a lawyer. Very trustworthy , understanding his communication level is extraordinary he goes above and beyond to respond to any matter at anytime should he be available... and with lots of with patience.

I sought the help of Mr. Pastacaldi for guidance in a delicate legal situation involving a former employer. I was lost and scared. I was referred to him by a friend. I have dealt with lawyers in the past and found them to be cold and hard to reach. Unlike these other lawyers, Mr. Pastacaldi was diffe...rent. He guided me through this difficult legal situation with absolute professionalism and compassion. He was very accessible and knowledgeable. The issue was resolved with his help, and I am grateful I found him. Going forward, I know who to call when I have a legal issue. I recommend him.
