    Honest, sincere attorney who really helped me

    Posted by

    Mr. Ianetti represented me in a serious criminal case where I was charged w/ attempted murder. This was a case where I was involved in a fight with three other people and one of them used a knife and almost killed her victim. Throughout the year and a half this case was pending, Mr. Ianetti met with me and constantly reassured me that he he could resolve the case in a manner that kept me out of jail. Even when the trial started and I was scared to death, he kept calm and worked toward a resolution. In the middle of the trial the prosecution offere me a deal that was like a gift from heaven. Today, I've got me life back and looking forward to future I didn't thnik I would have.

    Really Did a Good Job for Me!

    I had a criminal case in Union County, NJ. I am in my 40's with no prior record and wanted to get into PTI so I wouldn't have a record, but my case was pretty serious and the prosecutor really wanted to play hardball. Ernest just took it in stride and insisted that the State treat me fairly. And, believe it or not, in the end they did. I have seen attorneys argue and grandstand, but Ernest was just calm and straight forward with his eye on the prize - a great result for me. Thanks.
