Great Attorney You Wont Regret

Unfortunately I have needed numerous lawyers in my past so I am familiar with how most are. Luckily for me I found Luke this time around! Was on my 2nd DUI and he got me a very favorable outcome. His rate was very reasonable and at times I offered to pay more if he can stall my case due to his time a...nd he didn't accept the money(9/10 lawyers would have). We didn't know what would happen with my license so stalling it as much as possible was huge for me in particular since I use my car for a living. Used the extra time to save money with expectations of losing my job and then the good news happened I didn't wind up losing my license! He has some great secretaries taking care of the little details, always reminding you of court dates or what stuff you need to do but also very hands on texting/you on his personal cell phone  regarding your case. Like I stated for someone who had experience with lawyers in the past, most of them you just feel are a money grab sadly with him he actually works for you! Payment plan was a plus! Highly recommend!

No more lawyer shopping!

From the moment I contacted Luke I was met with professionalism, he was very responsive and thorough. Not knowing what to expect, he reviewed and went through the entire process that was going to happen, and his role in everything. Throughout the day he kept in touch and communicated with me with a...ll updates. He got us a great result, and out the same day! I would confidently recommend him to anybody looking for a lawyer!

Outstanding Attorney

My family and I contacted Mr. Scardigno in such a short notice. He took on my case and guided us step by step. His desire of helping his clients is his main focus. He did not let my family and I down. I know for a fact he would not let you down. If you need an attorney to assist you with any and all ...of your needs please contact Luke Scardigno. Very Awesome attorney.

Couldn’t have picked a better attorney

My husband and I frantically searched the web for a criminal attorney for our son who has never been in Trouble before. This was very scary but based on all the excellent feedback from others we decided to meet with Mr. Scardigno. During our consultation he saw how upset and scared we were and made ...a phone call there and then, even before retaining him, to the DA to see how they were leaning with this and to put our fears to rest. He handled our case as though we were family and was available at all times for us. He explained everything to us, especially when I had such a hard time understanding the process. In addition he was extremely reasonable with his fees. We cannot say enough great things about Mr. Scardigno and felt so lucky and fortunate to have found such a wonderful attorney during our crisis. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a criminal attorney who goes above and beyond and better than expected outcome !

A lawyer who really cares.

I consulted with various lawyers before I hired Luke Scardigno and the main reason was because he immediately put me at ease about my legal case and my financial situation. From the moment I met him during the initial consultation, Luke Scardigno told me not to worry about his fee and assured me tha...t he would see to it that I don't end up with a criminal record. He cared more about me and making sure that I don't end up with a criminal record than his fee, which ended up being about half of what other lawyers were charging. During the initial consultation, he first walked me through the entire process of my case and told me what to expect and then he offered me an easy payment plan for his representation. I was facing two felony charges and Luke Scardigno was able to lower one to a misdemeanor which will be dismissed in six months and he lowered the other one to a disorderly conduct which will be eventually sealed. But, most of all I will not end up with a criminal record, just like he assured me. If you need a criminal lawyer who is experienced, who is extremely knowledgeable, who knows his way around the legal system and who charges reasonable fees, Luke Scardigno is your man. But, if you want a lawyer who will also care about you and not just your case, than Luke Scardigno is the one for you.
