If you are looking for a strong attorney who is willing to take on the State to protect your rights, you are looking for Bob Pinizzotto. Call today.

Posted by Mike | September 10, 2015 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent Choice

I was very happy with Attorney Robert Pinizzotto. He was hired for a motor vehicle issue that unexpectedly turned criminal. He's not afraid to think outside of the box to handle issues. He is also very knowledgable in motor vehicle law. His staff is also top notch. The only negative I could provide i...s that on occasion Bob did not get back to me quickly. This was only on routine questions.

Robert Pinizzotto handled 2 separate DUI charges with 5 various tickets

I would highly recommend Robert as your lawyer for DUI charges and any associated tickets. While initially meeting with Robert, he explained in plain English, any questions we had and the consequences to the impending charges. He attended the 7 or 8 court appearances required due to court backlog. H...e found there was reason to eliminate blood alcohol readings, due to particular circumstances of the DUI event. He presented this to the court and also had 4 out of 5 tickets eliminated. All this reduced our courts costs, by at least half, and eliminated another 3 year state surcharge of $3000, plus probably many points. The loss of license was agreed to 6 months for reckless driving, but would have been at least 2 years and possible jail time, if the DUI charges were not eliminated. Our car insurance would have also reflected an increase in premiums had this not ended so favorably! Robert did an excellent job of applying the law. Hopefully, there will be no further need of his services, but if so, we would return to Robert Pinizzotto to handle our legal concerns, as we have already. Thank you, again, Robert and Nicole!!!

Very Satisfied

I hired Mr. Pinizzotto because I felt he provided me the best representation. Mr. Pinizzotto is very knowledgeable about the laws of New Jersey and experienced working within the Court System. In addition to the remarkable defense I received, Mr. Pinizzotto provided me invaluable advice and guidanc...e in preparation of my hearing and beyond. For that, I am most appreciative. Mr. Pinizzotto made a very difficult situation much easier to deal with during and helped me recover since. I would recommend Mr. Pinizzotto.

I would definitely recommend

I would highly recommend this firm and specifically Mr. Pinizotto himself. When I found myself in need of a lawyer in the state of NJ I was unfamiliar with any firms so, based on a recommendation, I called this firm, and was extremely satisified. From the first phone call to the office I was treate...d with respect and was kept up-to-date on every aspect of my case.

I had what I thought was an unwinnable case

It was with some skepticism that I read the glowing reviews here, but that dissipated upon speaking with Mr. Pinizzotto and his staff. Not only was the fee I was quoted more than fair, I was told that even if the case went to trial I would not be charged more. I don't know if this is the norm and I d...on't want to set people up with unrealistic expectations. SO, let me tell you a few specifics of my case! I was initially charged by TWO different municiplaties for what would have been a 3rd DUI in ten years, between two different states. The first order of business was to consolidate these into one case to be handled by one court only. In this, we were successful. I was still facing the possibility of significant jail time. My attorney and his staff were very attentive and helpful through a succession of court dates, and were prepared and willing to go through the steps necessary to mount a defense based upon my medical history. This turned out to be unnecessary as out of the original 5 charges I was facing we managed to reduce everything down to one reckless driving charge, which I gladly accepted. I was in a dark place as this was all unfolding, from the incident onwards, and could have had to deal with a dramatic change in life quality, but I took a gamble on Mr. Pinizzotto and things turned out for the best. This is the lawyer to go with!
