Great Lawyer

I was charged with Felony Robbery and Michael got it reduced to Disorderly Conduct - which is a violation. He is easy to work with and gets the job done.

DWI case

I was charged with DWI in November 2014 Being in a criminal court is stressful specially when prosecution doesn't want to budge and lower charges. In my case Michael firmly said to prosecution we are not interested in your lousy misdermeanor offer and to prove it, after long hearing dates and filing...s of motions on October 8, 2015 the judge ruled in our favor and dismissed all the charges. Michael is excellent attorney who represents his clients with dedication and professionalism He is one of the best Super Lawyer I will recommend to my family or anyone that's in need of a very good DUI / DWI case lawyer he handled my case precisely and very timely and got my case dismissed. I talked to several attorneys before deciding to go with Mr. Michael His knowledge and enthusiasm set him apart from others considered. He Kept me informed through the entire process and was flexible with payment.... Before I chose Michael to represent me, I have researched and interviewed 6 attorneys. I am very happy I hired him. Michael was extremely professional and knowledgeable in regards to DWI charges. He put in massive amounts of effort into helping me win the case Michael Discioarro was a professional from the start. Michael, you are the best REAL lawyer I know. Your situational judgment is simply remarkable. You have a gift for finding - making - opportunities, and taking advantage of them for your clients. I can't thank you enough. For anyone else with the misfortune of needing Michael's help, you couldn't be in better hands, and I wish you the very best.

Professional and Supportive the Entire Way

I am a professional and was extremely frightened to be facing a possible DUI conviction that would hit my record. Michael walked me through the entire process and delivered the outcome he was expecting and thought was fair and beneficial to his client. He advised me in a matter of fact way and was ...available any time I had a question. He was extremely supportive and genuinely fought for the best outcome which he achieved. I am grateful for his service and would highly recommend him to anyone facing difficult times.

Wrongful DUI Case

I was wrongfully charged with DUI one night double parked in front of my house. I fell asleep with the car turned off after waiting an hour for parking and because I worked 14 hours. I was then profiled by the NYPD and wrongfully arrested and charged with DUI. Mike got my misdemeanor DUI charge dropp...ed down to a violation and a fine. He wasn't expensive and he knows what he's doing. He's definitely the guy to hire when you've been charged with a DUI.

I recommend Michael discioarro

Parole said I could live with my wife when my son was born because of an alleged sex offense. I hired mr discioarro and he got this whole situation overturned. He's not only good but great at the law, he's my number one option.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
