Posted by Matt | July 21, 2016 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Mr Lo Piccolo is a wise choice

I met Mr. Lo Piccolo after a very difficult and unsavory experience with another attorney. I was having a difficult time, and was facing a charge that was quite frightening for me. Mr. Lo Piccolo was extraordinarily professional and thorough from the start. At no time did he pass judgements about ...my situation, just looked at all the facts and went from there. He was very clear with me about what my options were, the potential outcomes, and demonstrated a keen knowledge of and extensive experience with the law. His office ALWAYS contacted me with a reminder the day before a court appearance, and everything I needed to know was provided to me in writing. In the end, the result he helped to obtain was highly satisfactory in both his opinion and mine. If you are looking for someone who will be straightforward, direct, and honest with you and not try to blow smoke up the proverbial rear-end, I would certainly recommend meeting Mr. Lo Piccolo. His consultation with me was free, and was enough to convince me of his value. I am glad I listed to my instinct to retain him, and believe many of you out there would feel the same way. Good luck on your search.

Great law firm

I dealt with mr. Lo piccolo and other lawyers in his firm and all of them are great and did a great job with my case I would highly recommend to anyone.

Gifted

Hired the firm, great to work with, they know what they're doing. Mr Bekoff has plenty of experience and Mr Lo Piccolo is learned & wise. And though it may seem unknown about the law this attorney is Gifted.

Excellent defence lawyer

Joe is great! He managed to get my case retried and the sentence overturned. I spoke to several defense lawyers, all realized that my sentence was way to harsh for the offense I committed but only Joe had a realistic solution, and a 100% successful one. Joe's superior understanding of the law in comb...ination with his familiarity of the NY State criminal system makes him a potent attorney and advocate for those who have had the misfortune of finding themselves on the wrong side of the law. I now can start working in my profession again, he is a life changer!

The Best, simply said !

Mr. LoPiccolo is a top notch defense attorney. He provided me with great advice and counsel. We did butt heads at times, but, as hard as it is to admit, he was right. I cannot give enough praise to him.
