The Real Deal

Thanks to Luigi Vigliotti I have a valid NYS Driver's License and I am not in jail. I went through a 3 year period of depression, tough financial times, divorce and a series of bad decisions. I simply checked out of my own life, was not dealing with things that any reasonably responsible or mindf...ully present person would deal with. In a nutshell, I didn't open the mail for three years....figuratively and literally. With that said, a few minor tickets that would have been very easy to deal with had I simply shown up to court on the dates I was supposed to ballooned into multiple suspensions, multiple tickets for driving with a suspended license, the inability to renew my license because of the suspensions thus also receiving tickets for operating a vehicle with both an expired license and suspensions and eventually........a well deserved yet miserable arrest. I wove a web of suspensions and violations that spanned multiple jurisdictions throughout Nassau and Suffolk County. A friend found about my arrest and license situation and insisted I go speak with Luigi Vigliotti stating that, "He's the real deal". What an understatement. Lou defines and sets the bar for high for what "The Real Deal" is in terms of attorneys handling layered legal issues that encompass both Traffic Law Violations and criminal charges. I was facing real jail time, thousands of dollars in fines and the possibility of not getting my license back for a very long time. With the weight of this added to my already paralyzed mind and dark and hopeless outlook on life I was convinced that the only light at the end of the tunnel was a train. Turns out, that light at the end of the tunnel was not a train, it was Lou. I left my first meeting with Lou relieved, knowing that the my legal matters were going to be resolved completely and with as little negative impact on my life as one in my situation could possibly hope for. Lou worked tirelessly on my behalf and as a result the messy entanglement of my multi-jurisdictional traffic violations, license suspensions and criminal charges are resolved. Lou is thoughtful, professional, unwavering in his desire to achieve the best possible outcome, a great listener, a great communicator and always talks straight...no B.S. - he just tells it like it is. Thanks to Luigi Vigliotti I have a valid NYS Driver's License and I am not in jail.

EXCELLENT LAWYER !

Mr. Vigliotti is an excellent lawyer! Helped me throughout my case of a DWI, which the charge was dropped tremendously! Now I have no worries to apply for jobs. He was always on time to court, kept my wife and I informed, answered all text messages, phone calls anytime of the day. Mr. Vigliotti is v...ery respected from what I saw. If you’re looking for a lawyer for the first time, or what ever is the case, call him ! You will not regret it.

DWI

Luigi was great in representing both of my cases. First the original case and then a failed interlock ignition device. I would recommend him.

Thanks for the review Sherida. It was my pleasure to have represented you. I'm so glad that the judge ultimately ruled in our favor. It was a tough fight but one that we both took seriously and the work we put in together carried the day. I wish you all the best!!!

Professional and caring

Luigi is a truly great lawyer. He was professional, he really seemed to care about me and what I was going through. He was so easy to get in touch with when I had a question or concern. He would answer my call or text within an hour even when he was on vacation he answered quickly and answered all my... questions. My mother and father were by my side during this process and Luigi always took the time to call or text them as well to see if they had any questions. He puts his clients first all the time. He always checked in with me before court to remind me and to see if I had any questions. He was always on time and prepared for court. He seemed to have good working relationships with the judges and court staff. Which shows he is respected and well known in court. Luigi helped me with any problems that came up during my court process. If I couldn't get in touch with someone he would always take care of it for me. He saw me as a person and not just a client. He vouched for my character when I needed it. After my arrest he was able to get me the best possible outcome. Just like he did for me I would do for him. I vouche for him as one of the best criminal lawyers in Nassau county. I would recommend him to family and friends and anyone that is reading this review. Thank you Luigi for helping me get a second chance

In the best hands!

I found myself in a scary situation and I was referred to Luigi from an old friend from high school. I met with Luigi completely stressed out! I was scared for my future and my profession. When I met with Luigi, he made me feel comfortable from the very first visit in his office. I distinctly remem...ber leaving his office that very first time with a sense of security and that I was in good hands. Over time, after meeting with him and attending our court dates, he really kept me informed of the possible outcomes, any twists or turns each and every time. Luigi really goes over and above for his clients! When he says, "call me if you need anything" he genuinely means it! I didn't feel like one of many clients with Luigi. I felt like his only client, every time! And that's special! He always told me all along not to worry. And sure enough, I am astounded at his performance throughout. With inquiring about the details of how my profession could be affected to texting me just to check in with me. It was brought to my attention of what an ideal outcome would be from the beginning and Luigi delivered!!! I could not ask for any better outcome and for that I am forever grateful!!! Luigi is someone who I will use for the rest of my life and I look forward to referring him to anyone in need of legal council. Remarkable!!!
