"Professional and Effective Lawyer"

I hired [Gregory P. Garofalo] to help me with [your legal issue, e.g., a contract dispute], and I couldn't be happier with their service. From the beginning, they were incredibly knowledgeable, always available to answer my questions, and explained every step of the process in clear terms. They kept... me updated throughout, and thanks to their expertise, we were able to resolve the issue with a successful outcome. I truly appreciated their professionalism and attention to detail. I highly recommend [lawyer's name] to anyone in need of reliable legal counsel.

Friendly and prompt...

I had gotten a speeding ticket. Called around for quotes and Mr. Garofalo was by far, the most reasonable, with everyone else wanting $500 or more to retain their services. He gave me a quick consult over the phone, said I could see him the same day in less than an hour. I spoke and the in person... consultation was painless. Said he knew the local court system well and could have things handled next Tuesday (from Friday). I paid him his fee and he contacted me on Wednesday and had gotten my speeding ticket reduced with no points. Simple, meet to sign some final paperwork and he'd follow up in a month. I would highly recommend, he's polite and professional without being unapproachable.

Best possible outcome

Greg helped me out on a DWI charge. I have never been in any sort of trouble ever, so this really made me freak out. Mr. Garofalo listened to me, reassured me, and completely explained the entire process as well as all outcomes. In the end, he was able to get an offer for me of a DWAI - a traffic vio...lation. I’m young and in my last semester of nursing school and Greg understood how important it was for me to not have a criminal charge on my record. Not to mention, he is absolutely the most affordable attorney in the area and I promise you are not sacrificing quality because of that! Would recommend 10000x over, a very genuine guy

Responsive and Understood My Goals

Mr. Garofalo understood the time sensitivity of my matter, and he worked tirelessly to help me accomplish my goals of resolving the traffic tickets in a swift matter under certain criteria. He gave me an intake call right away and was proactive in updating me throughout the process.

Trustworthy and Effective

I am very happy with the service that I received from Mr. Garofalo and the outcome. He represented me for a speeding ticket. I hired him based on the positive reviews. I live out of state and do not know how I would have managed otherwise. I highly recommend him.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. I'm a practicing attorney for over 24 years. I've known Greg for about 34 years. We overlapped with each other as undergraduates at the University of Rochester and as law students at Pace University School of Law. We lived together for a few years as fraternity brothers, and while going through law school and practicing law early in our careers. He has always been well liked and very friendly and helpful to everyone. Since he opened his own practice more than 25 years ago, I've seen Greg dedicate himself to helping the injured and vulnerable in personal injury and DUI/DWI cases, and I've seen how hard he works every day fighting to help his clients get what they deserve. I highly recommend Greg for anyone who needs a good lawyer to go to bat for them."

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
