Experienced & very well prepared

Mr. Vigliotti is a superb attorney who helped me every step of the way through the difficult DMV legal process. Attorney Vigliotti was responsive from the minute I contacted him, he explained the court process and the options available to resolve my case, he kept me well updated through the enti...re case, he was always available to answer any questions I had and made sure I understood completely. His knowledge of the law is outstanding, as is his understanding of the entire legal process... I will be forever thankful for the wonderful job he did I could not be more pleased with the end result. I’m hopeful that I will not need his services again but if I do I would certainly give him a call Likewise I would recommend him to all of my family and friends in need.

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.

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.
