saved the day

Michael s Discioarro saved the day in more than one way in my case. Not only was he able to keep my license from being revoked he was also able to have charges reduced to a violation. I am eternally grateful for all his efforts.

DWI case

Mr. Discioaro is an absolute pleasure to work with. From my consultation, I knew he was the lawyer to hire because from day one he said the charges would get dropped, which they did. During my court case, he tried to let me now how long it would take since I had work. He is always available to talk, ...via text which I liked because I am not available to talk on the phone much. It is because of him I won't have a criminal record. Not only is he professional, but really personable which was helpful when feeling nervous. I would and already have recommended him to others.

Great DWI Defense Attorney

Mike did a great job for me. I was charged with a misdemeanor DWI. He was able to get the charge knocked down to a traffic violation. He went above and beyond to get me this result. He is very knowledgeable about the process and felt he always had my best interest at heart at all times. I would highl...y recommend him to anyone facing a similar situation.

GREATEST LAWYER EVER!!!!!!!!!

Mike is a great lawyer and a good guy. He help get my case lowered to lesser charge and my license reinstated. Whenever I had a question I could call him or text him and got a fast response. He always told me don't worry even though I did and he was correct because he fixed everything smoothly. I wou...ld work with him again (hopefully nothing like happens to me in my life lol) but I will recommend his services to any friends of mines with great confidence that he will get things resolved in the best way possible.

An Excellent Attorney

I am from out of state and had to retain a lawyer in NYC. Along with local counsel we carefully sifted through potential candidates and after some phone conversations decided to hire Michael. I could not be happier with the choice. Coming from the Midwest I was unused to Michael's NYC take charge ...attitude. He was able to consistently alleviate my concerns due to both his confidence and his knowledge of the law. I very much appreciated his candor and ability to quickly and efficiently answer my questions. My case was interesting. It began in family court and had a criminal component. I was essentially ambushed at the family court and arrested. Michael, without being paid at that point in time, worked all day to get me in front of the judge and out on bail. I of course then retained him to represent me in the criminal matter as well. When it was all said and done Michael won both of my cases for me. I could not be happier. During the nearly year long process he was consistently there to answer questions and to keep me at ease. I recommend Michael highly. I not only consider him a great attorney but also a friend.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
