Positive Experience

I was fortunate that I found and hired Luke. He promptly responded to my initial inquiry. Although I was nervous during the trial, Luke assured me everything would be OK--and it was. Had the case dismissed. He is professional, polite, effective, and his rates are great. Go to Luke!

An Attorney you are able to be 100% confident in!

If I could give Attorney Scardigno more than five stars I would. I made the stupid mistake of shoplifting for the first time ever in October 2015 and was fearful for the outcome. I feared for my future of grad school and just was devastated with what I did for the first time and of course learned ...a valuable lesson. That night after being released I looked online aimlessly for an attorney because I didn't want to take any chances. Everyone assured me since it was my first time having a mishap with the law it would get dismissed and I should settle for a public defender but I did not want to take any chances. Since it was my first time ever getting in trouble I was relased that night with a desk appearance ticket and a court date for the following month. I searched for several days and many attorneys were asking for at least $1,500, which is hard for someone who lives on their own and pays rent(let alone having rent around the same time my court appearance was. Finally I came across Attorney Scardigno and contacted him. It was the weekend but I still got an email back from him and his price was way lower and very reasonable and he seemed more confident with the outcome than the ones charging me $1,500. He assured me most likely I would only have to do a shoplifting class and receive one day of community service and after six months it can be dismissed (known as an ACD). Attorney Scardigno was very understanding and I had to split my payment between two weeks and even though he only got half the payment the first week right away he made himself available and put me at ease. I work for attorneys and unfortunately many aren't as understanding or are willing to answer themselves but Attorney Scardigno was. I had my full confidence from the beginning of signing the retainer until the day leading up to court in which the result I was promised was delivered. Not only was his job impeccable work but he was also an amazing individual and even put me at ease during our first phone conference. I recommend him to anyone. He is not all about getting paid but really cares about the outcome and working his hardest to get you the best possible outcome. Although I hope I wont need a criminal lawyer in the future I recommend him to anyone

If you are looking for a professional and caring attorney who knows what they are doing, Luke Scardigno is definitely the one!

I must write a review for Luke Scardigno because I am so grateful for what he has done for me. When I was looking for legal advise I went to visit him for a consultation. Before that I was so nervous and worried over my case but right after we spoke to Luke he was able to ease my mind and my family a...nd I knew he was the one to represent my case. Right from the start, he was prepared and gave me all the information on the documents I needed to bring in. I had a month away before my court date, and during that time I was always able to call or visit him. On the day of court I notice many people who had similar cases to mine were getting 6 months to a year dismissal, but Luke was able to get me down to 30 day dismissal! I could not put into words how grateful I am to have Luke work on my case. Even after court Luke told me I can call him anytime if I had any questions. Many attorneys don't even bother or care when they are finished with a case. If you are looking for a professional, caring, well prepared, experienced, attorney I highly recommend Luke Scardigno.

Luke is an excellent attorny!

I came to Mr. Scardigno early January of 2014 when my future was on the line. I had gotten mix up with the wrong individuals and found myself facing a felony charge. I was terrified and confused of my options in the matter being that is was my first encounter with the law. Getting convicted with a fe...lony charge would have greatly dimmed any hopes a having a promising future. The possibility of me returning back to St John's University or being admitted into any four year university for that matter was zero to none. Mr. Scardigno handled my case with the upmost care and professionalism. He understood the circumstance of which I was facing and believed in my story. Luke told me everything would work out, and he worked diligently and made sure that his words came to past. He even went as far as to set up a meeting with my deans to help plead my side of the case. When all was said and done I left the court house late October with no criminal record and and opportunity to continue my education at St. John's University. It is my pleasure to recommend and promote and services of Luke Scardigno to anyone in need of it. Through my experience in dealing with him I observe that he is one who loves what he does and takes it seriously. It's not only his work ethic and professionalism that sets him apart from the others. It is his compassion, love and respect he has toward his clients. The way Luke treated me throughout this process amazed me, I felt as if I was his son or a close relative of his. I have never experience that level of customer service before. I Highly recommend the services of Luke Scardigno. Luke thank you for everything you've done. God Bless -Kesley P.
