Peter J. Scagnelli's Lawyer Endorsements
"I met Pete in my first year of practice on a matter where our firms represented different victims from the same incident. When he learned that I was going to be trying my first Child Victim's Act case on my own, completely unrelated to the matter we were working on together, he went out his way to provide guidance and insight learned through his past trials. He did this, I speculate, because he wanted to help a victim pursue justice, even if it was through another law firm."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Mr. Scagnelli for decades. He is professional, knowledgeable, and prepared. He is a superb litigator, and he also has the skill set necessary to settle cases. I highly endorse this lawyer."
