Michael Jude Jannuzzi

Michael worked as a criminal defense attorney for me for the past 5 and a half months. He picked up my case in early August of last year, and I honestly have never felt so comfortable hiring someone. From the initial consultation, it was clear that he understood exactly what took place with my arres...t and he knew the exact steps we needed to take in order to resolve the situation. We ended up achieving and ACOD/Dismissal of the criminal charge. Throughout the process, I witnessed him interact and adjust his communication style depending on the personalities he was dealing with, and he was very effective in winning people over and helping them understand our position on the actual events that took place. This man is smart, charismatic, practical in his application of the law, and wholly committed to helping his clients achieve the desired outcome in their case. Thank you, Michael Jannuzzi, for a stellar job done!

I'm not the best writer but let me give a try to describe the experience with Mr. Michael Jannuzzi as this website asks. When I needed someone to defend me Michael took it upon himself to travel and personally vouch for me with the judge...who claimed to "know me" better than Michael did despite o...ur years acquainted. I mean, the judge was clearly angry with me and Michael said "But your honor...I know this guy he is ok!" something like that... How did we get to that point? I think the first time we worked with Michael Januzzi was for our house closing several years prior where he clearly showed the sellers and bank representatives that we were well represented. Next was for things that perhaps I am not proud to admit but Michael Jannuzzi will indeed defend you to the best of his ability, not only to the point that you "paid for" or try to make an easy deal with the district attorney or judge. He is NOT the type (and I'm sure we have all met the type) to say "send the money then we will talk" I believe that Michael looks for the good in people and feels that anyone can change, even if they are in some trouble in life. This is one of the things that helped me get out of the rut I was in and turn my life around. I cannot tell you how good it feels...the relief you get when sitting in a jail cell, powerless to defend yourself then Michael shows up to let you know with straight talk what is going on, what the judge thinks and that he is there not only fighting but advocating for you. I went from having a decent life and home to being down and out. Without Michael and others I may never have made it back to a normal life. I got into serious trouble for not showing up to court nearly 2 years and was hauled in on a bench warrant. The charges were serious too. I already owed Michael so I did not call him or mention him. When I met the judge I was alone. I told the judge I needed public defender. She saw my record and that Michael Jannuzzi was my lawyer previously and asked why ("Michael" she called him) was not there to represent me. I told her that I did not want to bother him...She said well, "you are going to need him and I want to find out what your deal is so I will call Michael him in here myself." Sure enough the cavalry arrived and I nearly cried when I saw Mike. All the while Michael never asked me for a dime or even made me feel uncomfortable about not being able to pay him while spending hours or complete days of his time on my problems. Always took my calls, always did his absolute best despite the fact that I even deserved to be punished. Mike explained to me that the judge was determined to let me spend some time behind bars and that I should just accept that but he will make sure he does everything on his part to follow me along and didn't leave me feeling like I was alone. I think he had to go to court at least 3 times for this and Michael showed up and worked for my best interests each time. I have tried a few other lawyers because I live outside NY now and had terrible experiences. If you read that someone was ripped off by a lawyer then it is likely true. You will have a hard time finding a lawyer or a man who who you can trust like Michael Jannuzzi. It is without hesitation that I recommend Michael as one of the best lawyers available to represent in whatever legal entity you require. If he says he can do it...let him do it.
