Great lawyer!

Mr. Guadagnino is just amazing! He made me feel relaxed at a stressful time! I was looking at the worst with my case and he helped me get passed it. Case dismissed. I highly recommend.

I am forever grateful to Mr. Guadagnino....

I met Mr. Guadagnino when he served as my legal aid a few years ago. I gave this person a ride in my car, not knowing he had drugs on him. As soon as he sat in my car, we got stopped by the cops. He immediately hid the drugs in my car and the police found the drugs in my car. I got arrested and he ...blamed everything on me. Thank God Mr. Guadagnino was there for me. Most important he believed in me. I was looking at a few years for a crime I did not commit but he was able to prove that I was innocent. Now to the real reason why I'm so grateful to Mr. Guadagnino is because of what he did for my son. He saved his life, just as he did for me. My son got arrested for a robbery that he did not commit, he didn't even know about it. The person that did the robbery impersonated a police officer, so it became a federal case. No lawyer wanted to take the case until I reached out to Peter. He remembered my case and was glad to take on my sons case. My daughter had to put her house up as collateral, my sons girlfriend had to borrow $50,000 and my wife and I had to put up our life savings to bail my son out. Mr. Guadagnino worked very hard on this case. Thank God he was able to find a surveillance video that proved that my son was not present when this crime was committed. The video proved that the individuals didn't resemble anything like my son. Peter was able to request that all pending charges against my son be dropped under lack of evidence. THANK God and Mr. Guadagnino my son was found innocent of all these charges, he is now a free man. The last time something like this happened in a federal court was in 1945. Peter was able to accomplish what 10 other lawyers wouldn't even attempt. What's most important to me is the feeling of knowing that your attorney really and truly believes that you are innocent. I felt that 3 years ago with Peter just like I felt it through my sons case. He is true to his craft. 100% genuinely committed to his clients. THANK YOU MR.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.
