Edward Sapone defended my son during a federal criminal case. Due to his unique, outside of box defense thinking and defense, my son was sentenced with time served and was home that same evening. Mr. Sapone diligently and tenaciously defends his clients. During my son's trial Mr. Sapone reference...d God's word, The Bible, and its foundation principles on Mercy and Grace. My sincerest gratitude and appreciation for Mr. Sapone's unyeilding efforts, professionalism, and legal acumen.

Mrs.

Ed Sapone represented my son in a federal criminal defense case that lasted more than four years. We had many unexpected twists and turns and Ed always told us to be patient because time was our friend. This turned out to be the right advice for our situation. Ed was consistently thoughtful and bri...lliant. He was always there for my son and for me as my son was facing a very difficult judge in an incredibly tough case with mandatory minimums and excruciating guidelines. Mr. Sapone and his hard working and kind associate Chase were always honest but hopeful about the time my son was facing . They did the hard work including preparing and presenting several complicated submissions. Mr. Sapone knew which professionals ,outside his office, needed to be consulted and he brought them in. He seized an opportunity for my son resulting in a below the guidelines with no mandatory minimums sentence. I can only say that this has been the most horrible time in my life and I was comforted and convinced to have hope by a lawyer who did everything he could to help us. To say we love him is an understatement. He added a dimension to our situation that saved us and that was hope and resiliency and brilliance. My son was facing a 17 year guidelines sentence and that was reduced by our judge to 7 years. Ed Sapone bears great responsibility for a very positive outcome.

He Saved My Life

Ed Sapone is an ethical, conscientious, caring human being who applies these qualities to his practice of law. He is an expert in his field with a heart. He patiently answers any question and is available to lend a sympathetic ear. His associate Chase Ruddy is of similar character and I am very grate...ful to have had them help my family and me through the most difficult ordeal of my life. I was charged with illegally prescribing narcotics. The process lasted over three years with much anxiety. Jail time (36 months and possibly more) seemed to be inevitable based on the sentencing guidelines. The judge had a reputation for being very strict. Due to his consummate legal skills, my sentence was reduced to 3 years probation. I recommend Ed Sapone wholeheartedly and without reservation. He saved my life.

Simply the Best

I awoke at dawn in August of 2013 to three loud bangs on my front door, followed by, "This is the FBI, come out with your hands up!" So began the worst day of my life. Having twenty FBI Agents and U.S. Marshalls surrounding my home wiith guns drawn told me something very serious was happening. I... would soon learn that I was being arrested, named in a $140 million securities fraud indictment. Thank God I would soon meet Edward Sapone. Mr. Sapone clearly knew all the legal nuances and U.S. Sentencing Guidelines. Even though the Government had all of the leverage, Mr. Sapone used his many years of experience and cutting edge team of lawyers and paralegals, composing a formidable team, ultimately keeping me from having to go to trial, facing the horrible possibility of 30 years imprisonment. Initially, the Government offered me a plea deal, with a range of seven to nine years imprisonment. Mr. Sapone diligently negotiated the plea down to a range of zero to five years, with a five year cap. As good as everything was falling in to place for me, the best was yet to come. Given the hundreds of hours of work done by Mr. Sapone on my sentencing memo, he convinced the judge to use a downward variance whereas I received only five years probation. Mr. Sapone had prevented me from going to prison and enabled me to get my life back, so that I can continue to take care of my family. Mr. Sapone has great patience, never talked about money and above all is a gentleman, whom I consider a close friend. I highly recommend Mr. Sapone to anyone needing a lawyer they can count on, as I do even though he is 3,000 miles away!
