John Pettinella is Great criminal defense lawyer

John Pettiness is a great attorney, not only is he a great attorney he truly cares about his clients and their case. When I first meet Mr. Pettiness I saw in His eyes that he cared. I was really afraid I never in my life have been arrested before didn't know what to expect but John was there for me n...ot only as an attorney but a psychologist and a dear friend. This case was huge I had an altercation with an NYPD Detective I knew my life and my family's life could have been destroyed if I was found guilty but Mr. Pettiness kept fighting for me and my family and wouldn't take No!! for an answer when I wanted to give up and had no more fight in me . I saw the fire in his eyes to keep pushing and A year and a few months later my case was threw out. My family is truly grateful for Mr. Pettiness. If you are looking for Justice in your Criminal case Call John Pettiness . He will fight to the end.

Great Experience, Great Outcome - Fought for my case and did not settle until I received the positive outcome John promised, John was there to council me and advise me on my case. He gave me a full layout of the possible positive and negative outcomes I could face (without scarring me to death.) H...e then offered his opinion based on his extensive understanding of the court system of what he expects to happen. As for trustworthyness, I think the fact that he made aware of the retainer cost, what it covers and after extensive hearings, he stayed tru to the original retainer amount and got the result he initially envisioned. So in other word, There was no discrepency, additional charges or misunderstandings - I got exactly what I paid for and more. I referred John to someone who was facing a more serious crime. I reached out to him at 10:00pm on a Tuesday. He was at the courthouse by mid-night to council the person in need, was there the next day an next day until he got released. His charges were originally very serious, but John was able to reduce the charges to a very ideal and minor charge. Bottom line is John is a man of his word, with a proven track record. HIghy recommended.
