HE SAVED ME FROM 25 YEARS FOR ATTEMPTED MURDER IN MANHATTAN

Mr. Guadagnino was very professional and dynamic. I was charged with shooting someone in the face. I was able to make $250,000 bail thanks to my mother. Mr. Guadagnino thoroughly investigated my case and prepared my defense. The offer was always 20 years in jail. After two years and the prosecution... coming down every time on the offer, the case was about to go to trial and right before we started picking the jury, Mr. Guadagnino got the prosecution to offer me straight probation. I owe my life to Guadagnino.

Saved family members life!

Mr. Guadagnino saved my brother In-laws life. He was charged in a federal court with several charges including impersonating a police official, home invasion, breaking and entering, robbery, and assault with a deadly weapon, amongst other charges. He was facing 25 years. He was immediately placed und...er house arrest with an electronic tracking device placed on his ankle. After consulting with more than a dozen lawyers(all of which turned down the case) Mr. Guadagnino agreed to represent us. He told us that it would be a huge task, but he was up to the challenge. After completing the retainer process he went straight to work. We were extremely impressed with his ability to communicate with us every step of the way. Most of the time you get a machine or a secretary but Peter was available every time we reached out. From the beginning we fealt that Peter genuinely believed in my brother in laws innocence and wasn't just working for a check. His commitment to this case was refreshing and certainly put my family at ease every time he met with us to go over the game plan. He was understanding to my brother in laws house arrest situation and made several house visits to accomodate his needs. Peter did exactly what he said he would. I am happy to review that all charges against my brother in law were recently dropped. Anyone who knows even just a little bit of the Federal court system knows that that was not an easy task. Being found innocent and having your case dismissed for insufficient evidence is a tall order in itself, having it done in a Federal court is almost unheard of. Mr. Guadagnino's expertise and diligent skills accomplished that outcome. We are forever grateful for his hard work and commitment to my brother in laws freedom. It was certainly a pleasure to have him represent us and we will certainly recommend his services to anyone who is in need of his service.

He saved me from life in prison

I was charged with Felony Murder. My trial lasted 3 weeks. Peter was unbelievable. The jury only took 30 minutes to find me NOT GUILTY of everything. That day I was released after being locked up for two years and facing a life sentence. AMAZING!!!

He saved my son from 25 years in jail

My son was charged with attempted murder and conspiracy. His bail was half a million dollars. I couldn't make the bail but I was able to hire Peter to help my son. The case went on for a year and a half. The offers that the prosecution were making to my son were ridiculously high. 25 years. Peter fo...ught for my son during the whole time. The case was ready to go to trial. Peter was ready. Right before Peter was ready to pick the jury and when the government saw that Peter was not backing down, they made an offer to my son that got him out of jail and did not give him a criminal record. I thank God for Peter Guadagnino. my son is now home with me and we are all doing well.
