Great Job

In November 2011, I made a decision that could of ruined my life. I decided to jump behind the wheel after having a few drinks, I was stop and arrested for DUI. I had no experience in retaining a lawyer so I cross my fingers and found Michael Disioarro on the web. Although the process was agonizing a...t times, Mr Discioarro encouage me to be patience and more importantly fight for my rights. I am glad to say yesterday (5/14/13) my case was closed with a simple violation and small fine. Mr Disciarro leadership, knowledge & confidence made me a believer and I would recommend his services to anyone caught in my position.

Quick, efficient and completely reliable

For anyone who has every had a fraudulent call to ACS made on them, especially for those working in Education, you know how devastating it can be. Anyone choosing to impersonate a professional can make false claims and they immediately have an open case. Not only can this effect current employment b...ut can jeopardize all future opportunities as well. I cannot say enough about Mr. Discioarro's quick and effective approach. He came to the initial house visit and was willing and able with questions to our every concern. The case was quickly closed as unfounded and we are able to continue with our lives. Our children and family were minimally disrupted which was the most important thing for us. If you want your case and any concerns resolved immediately by a professional, I highly recommend Mr. Discioarro.

Best Attorney in NY

Got my through the most difficult times of my life. I was arrested twice in the same year period with a DUI. It took time, but he was able to get me off with out any criminal charges from either arrest and got them reduced to a traffic violation . There were times where I wanted to waiver and just ac...cept the deal (which would have given me a misdemeanor both times) but Mike told me to hang tough. I trusted his judgement and I am a free man today. I owe my life to him.
