A Hidden Gem

Wow where do I begin, I went into this case feeling scared nervous and like I had nowhere to turn. When I met Mr. Scardingio he changed all that. He handled my case with such care and professionalism. He treated the case as if it were him in the situation I was in. He reassured me everything would b...e fine and it was exactly that. He’s an amazing lawyer. He went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed. He is a man of great integrity. He is a man of his word and you will always get the best outcome if you choose him. I highly recommend him. I would give him more than 5stars if I could. He is truly a hidden gem type of lawyer!

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 !

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.

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.
