"I unreservedly endorse Richard Pellegrino. Richard is extremely knowledgeable, very responsive and shows a level of concern for his clients that I have rarely seen in my almost 3 decades of practice. And, he gets incredible results based on his intimate understanding of the law, the system and the prosecutors he deals with. I strongly recommend Richard to anyone in need of highly competent and compassionate representation in criminal defense matters."

I have had the privilege to see, first hand, some of his interactions with clients and beyond his depth of knowledge of criminal law and procedure his listens and empathizes with clients in a way which allows them to see through trying times. Richard is a truly experienced practitioner in the criminal law bar and a valuable member of the community."
