OMG absolutely AMAZING ATTORNEY!!!!!

Luigi Vigliotti is an absolutely amazing attourney. Hands down. I recommend him to ANYONE dealing with these types of cases or really any bc if he can't help you (which I doubt) he'll point you to someone else whose also high up like himself. His thought process is so quick that he has a solid come b...ack before the prosecutors done speaking lol that has such valid stance for everything she would try to grant, to the fact that the judge had no choice to grant him what he's asking for. He's an amazing attourney I can't stress that enough, &ive had a few but he really knows his stuff and that's what's mainly important so he can fight for you like he did for me. He also knows absolutely EVERYONE in the courthouses including all the judges!!! I was like whatttt?! So yea that's also a definite plus bc he's so well known in his profession. He had like 6 other cases the same day and around the same time as me and he still managed to get me out of there by 12pm &out of a decent amount of bond they were trying to put me in with. But Luigi didn't let that happen. It's like he knew exactly what his argument was before she even said anything. He dors his homework on anything they could bring up so we'd be ready even on such short notice! He's Truly a blessing to have come across. He works his very best to help you &does absolutely everything he can to ensure you feel safe with him and is extremely compassionate and rlly does care about your well being above all, which is very hard to find in a lawyer, for most it's strictly buisness but Luigi empathizes with you &u can tell has morals and really does sympathize as well. He gets straight to the point without dwelling on the past focusing on what he can do to help you from here on out. He already has everything in place for my next court date. He goes over and above to do his job efficiently &in your favor- always. Very positive and already ahead of you the second he's hired. He also does not lead u on, anything he doesn't know for sure, (which isn't much haha) he tells you about up front with honesty, so you can be prepared for the worse but hope for the best. And that he DOES ensure, his very best! Thank you Luigi a million times! Your an absolute life saver and I'm so happy we crossed paths! I need you! And it's not over yet but your amazing at what you do, I trust you with everything, this is definitely no question your purpose in life!! Keep doing what you were put here to do! &thats help us! Your an absolute inspiration! I would never have a different attourney and will recommend you to ANYONE. It doesn't get better than this man right here and we aren't related in anyway so I have no reason to lie about my experience. Everyone not only me, has nothing but the best to say about you. &youve outdone yourself to prove why numerous times apparently not just for me. Talk to you soon! I can't thank you enough!

Client

Mr Luigi Vigliotti was referred to me to handle my case. He not only handled my case quickly and effectively, he is very professional and highly respected by the prosecutors who were assigned to crucify me. I will be eternally grateful for the way he treated me in respect to my situation. He is ...an excellent attorney who knows the law!.

Saved my life

I know hiring a lawyer can be a nerve racking experience because I have hired previous lawyers that promise you one thing and then make excuses for the outcome. However, Luigi came highly recommended by some of my colleagues whose opinions I trusted. I received a speeding ticket by an officer whose... known for ticketing people for no reason because he wants to reach his goals. He pulled me over in traffic and said I was 30 miles over the limit on a very busy road on a Friday afternoon where the fastest you can go is 40. I was very upset because I knew fighting it was going to be very difficult even though I was not speeding. I hired Luigi and from the very beginning I felt comfortable with him because he was very honest and told me all the options and possibilities. We went to court together and he fought hard for me and was able to get me the best deal possible and no points. I was very pleased with the outcome and was expecting some hidden lawyer fees that I have encountered in the past. That was not the case. He gave a great flat rate and got me a better deal than we we weighed out the options. I have already recommended him to people I know and they were very please. I would definitely recommend Luigi to anyone reading this. He is a fair and honest lawyer who knows what he is doing.

Great Lawyer!

I really could not have asked for more out of Luigi. When I initially sent in my inquiry he responded with a very friendly phone call to discuss the steps we would take for my case. He was very informative and extremely helpful. I made the right decision by going with him because he far exceeded my e...xpectations. Should I ever need the assistance of a lawyer again I know he is the obvious choice.

The BEST Lawyer in Town!!'

I knew immediately when I met this lawyer I was in the right hands. His expertise of the law and his pleasant demeanor was beyond my expectations. He answered every question I had with honesty, reassurance and integrity. Thanks to Luigi we are in a much better situation today. I highly recommend hi...m if anyone needs a lawyer. He came highly recommended to me and I dismissed the lawyer I had immediately upon metting him. I will never forget him as he was instrumental in protecting our future.

"13 years of criminal law experience is very substantial. His knowledge of both criminal law and procedure is excellent and evident in his pro bono contributions here. As a former assistant DA he has a huge advantage over many defense attorneys. "They know that he knows what they know". His client reviews are stellar. READ THEM! Clients are the best judges of a lawyers worth and they have spoken very positively. Do yourself a favor and schedule a consultation with him. If you are lucky he might agree to represent you."
