      Review Joseph Pometto

      Pittsburghs best attorney

      Posted by

      Joe has gone above and beyond for me he got me a un-heard of deal in the worst county to get in trouble in. " crawford county " and also got my probation dropped in Allegheny county pittsburgh pa and now i have him worling on my drivers license. Hes way fair and very knowledgeable and if he dont have a answer for u he gets one. Hes not like the lawyers that take your money and you dont hear from them for weeks months. Great guy here i highly recommend joe to anyone !!!

      Speeding and at risk of losing license

      I was caught speeding and due to the speed I was at risk of losing my license, hired Joe right away for beat price in the city. Ticket was knocked down to next to nothing. 10/10 would hire again!

      Excellent

      Posted by

      Joseph Pometto stepped directly into a challenge. He showed up and faced my problem head on with me, the victim. A victim should not need a lawyer but I did. With Joe at my side I was not dismissed. When Justice isn't just call Joe!

      Excellent Communication

      Posted by

      Joseph made the process incredibly easy on me. I work out of state, and he handled everything in a very timely manner. Was very pleased with the amount of communication, by quickly responding or answering any questions that I had, as well as keep me posted on any updates on the case. Was very pleased with the outcome of my case thanks to Joseph.

      Speeding Ticket

      Posted by

      Joe was able to knock my speeding ticket down to five mph over. Thus keeping points off my license. I highly recommend Joe to take care of your traffic offenses. Joe gave me peace of mind and took care of everything.

      Good service and results

      Posted by

      Contacted me early on via telephone with an overall game plan. On the court day, he was on time and respectful. He was able to reduce my charge down to no points on my driver's license, which is a result I am happy with. Highly recommend.
