Amazing lawyer

Bill was a phenomenal lawyer. He helped us with a juvenile issue for our child who requires special education. Bill’s understanding of the juvenile law and process were fantastic. Bill’s added expertise around children with special needs, was tremendously helpful. On top of his expertise, Bill has ...great soft skills as explained everything to us patiently, which helped put our mind at ease that we were in good hands. I cant say enough good things about Bill!

Teen daughter faced serious legal consequences for threatening an abusive ex-boyfriend

Mr. Strazza represented my teenage daughter when she faced charges of felony assault with a weapon for allegedly threatening a physically and mentally abusive ex-boyfriend with a knife in an ill-advised attempt to get him to leave her alone. Mr Strazza was referred to my wife and me by a highly rega...rded juvenile court civil law attorney in New Jersey with whom we had previously worked. We were looking for the best juvenile court criminal attorney available to represent our daughter. Mr Strazza exceeded our high expectations. He was able to communicate effectively with our emotional teenage daughter, the prosecutor's office and the Court. Mr. Strazza's level of preparation of this case was of the highest standards. He developed physical and testimony evidence demonstrating and supporting the facts of physical and mental abuse that our daughter endured from her teen ex-boyfriend and the issues that drove her to try to take matters into her own hands. Mr. Strazza developed a thorough pre-trial analysis of the extenuating circumstances of the case, laying out a strong case of criminal abuse by the ex-boyfriend against our daughter. By providing his pre-trail analysis to the prosecutor, Mr Strazza was able to negotiate a pre-trial plea for my daughter to one felony assault count but with no jail or probation, permission to leave the state to attend college, and an agreement by the prosecutor to support a request to expunge our daughter's criminal record of this case if she stayed out of legal trouble for the following 12 months. Mr Strazza is intelligent, understands the criminal court process, and for us was able to develop a case to achieve the best results possible from given facts. His pre-trial preparation was of the highest standard. (Earlier in my career I was a Federal agent and worked closely with US Department of Justice criminal attorneys on prosecuting complex criminal investigations and criminal trials. I have experience working with exceptional criminal attorneys). I highly recommend Mr. Strazza for his ability to simplify the process of complex criminal defense. He managed the process of the criminal court proceedings (rather than allowing the prosecution or Court to do so). He presented a rational path, supported by evidence, for settling the case rather than taking the risks that come from going to trial. He gave our daughter a chance to get her life back.
