Michael Christopher Mormando

This firm and especially Mr. Gangemi and Mr. Mormando are not the type of attorneys you want to be associated with. I hired Mr. Mormando's firm through Google to represent me in a criminal case. Michael Mormando personally got involved with the case himself because Gangemi was so inappropriate. They ...have no respect for his clients. They are the rudest people you will ever meet. They were fired midway through our work. Do yourselves a favor and do not, I repeat, do not hire this firm for any reason. Thank me later.

My son got himself into some trouble in college a couple years ago when he was 18. We initially hired an attorney that was a friend of a family member. After viewing the discovery he told us our best option was a plea deal for 3 years in state prison! He explained that due to the way the law is wr...itten, and my son's immediate confession when questioned by police, there was nothing anyone could do to reduce that sentence. We didn't want to accept that deal so we sought different representation, but in the back of our minds we believed that attorney and were devastated. My son had never been in trouble before or since, and was extremely remorseful. I worried how 3 years in state prison would change him. We were introduced to Mike from a police officer friend who told us that Attorney's Hartman was so good he and his fellow officers dreaded having to face them in court. Mike was empathetic from the start. He reviewed our case, listened to our concerns and got right to work. Despite the snail's pace of the courts during the pandemic, and multiple changes in the prosecutor assigned to our case, Mike was relentless in his attempts to negotiate for a better deal and kept us abreast of the situation as it evolved. He was able to have the charge reduced from a 2nd degree to a 3rd degree, and the 3 year state prison sentence reduced to 180 days in county jail. Many lawyers would be very satisfied with that achievement, but Mike didn't rest. Mike argued at sentencing for an even further reduction to no jail component, so well, in fact, that the prosecutor stated in open court that they would not appeal if the judge decided on a reduced sentence with no jail component. The judge ultimately sentenced him to 90 days in county jail followed by probation. Mike still didn't rest. Ten days later my son was released from jail upon admission into a program that Mike facilitated after sentencing. He is the reason my son will be home for the Holidays this year with a newfound gratitude for his second chance. Mike is genuine, capable, kind, diligent, compassionate, skilled, and relentless. He achieved what many other attorneys couldn't, or wouldn't, and my family is eternally grateful.

Mr. Mormando recently helped me through a DUI charge. It was my first time (and last time!) and I had no idea what to do. I had never even been in a courtroom before. Mr. Mormando explained everything to me with exacting detail as to what to expect in court, the possible penalties, repercussions and ...what would happen after the verdict was rendered. He was always available to me when I called, answered every one of my questions patiently, sent me detailed emails explaining exactly what was happening with my case, and thoroughly went through all of my evidence and options. Thanks to his knowledge and experience in DUI cases, he got me the best verdict I could have possibly expected in this situation. Without Mr. Mormando's help and guidance, I can't imagine how I would have gotten through this experience! Highly recommended!

Mike handled a matter in municipal court for me. He was always responsive, efficient, and got me the best result possible. Because of his past experience as a prosecutor, he knew precisely how the system worked to negotiate the best possible deal for me. I escaped what could have been a very costly ...penalty on my driver's license with what amounted to a small fine. I would refer him to anyone.
