Attorney Ricciuti is amazing!

Boy, am I glad I contacted Attorney Randall Ricciuti! I have only praise for this man. He is a veritable life-saver! MOST IMPORTANT: RESULTS. The stakes were very high; I was facing some pretty serious charges with repeat offenses, and the proverbial deck was clearly stacked against me. I know ...this, because several highly qualified Attorneys ... one with 40 years of experience ... were unable to help. Basically, I was being told by all to accept an unacceptable EDP, or prepare for trial ... that was until I contacted Attorney Ricciuti. In short order, Attorney Ricciuti had the whole matter reduced to a simple Summary Charge, which is basically a traffic ticket. How did he do this? What seemed to be the work of a magician just makes simple sense. Attorney Ricciuti is a former Allegheny County Prosecutor himself. He knows how the system works from both sides. And he explained it to me, so now I understand it. By thoroughly laying out my case from the Prosecutor's point of view in the way that he did, Attorney Ricciuti showed me that he understands the Prosecutor's mindset and vulnerabilities, and possesses a firm grasp of the process. In my first meeting with him, Attorney Ricciuti relieved my stress, anxiety and genuine fear by helping me to understand the realities and practicalites of my situation and to concretely visualize the route by which I was to be guided though it ... and out of it. And he never left me in the dark on the single most important matter affecting life and my peace of mind. And, he did all this without hollow promises. His ethics are impeccable. He was never a salesman. He gave it to me straight. And when I hired him, he performed ... like a magician. AMAZING! Thank You, Attorney Ricciuti! ~ Amazed

Highly recommend

Randy was an amazing lawyer! He kept me well informed of what was going on with my cases, always answered my phone calls, sat with me on multiple occasions for pre trial preparation with other partners in his firm. I was facing some serious charges and got me a not guilty verdict. If you are in need ...of a lawyer I highly recommend Randy for great service and experience. He will get you the best outcome for your charges.

So grateful

I hired Mr Ricciuti for charges brought against my neice. We were so confused, upset and totally beside ourselves, Mr Ricciuti sat the family down and explained every detail in a way we could understand. He answered all of our questions and we felt like we were in good hands. I believe he went above... and beyond for us. He was able to get charges dismissed. He has checked up on my neice since. I would refer Mr Riciutti whole heartedly.

Invaulable Experience

I retained Mr. Ricciuti as council for my girlfriend in regard to her desiring to be paroled for a probation violation that she was incarcerated for. Mr. Ricciuti kept in contact with me throughout the entire process, and did an excellent job in writing the motion for her. He ensured that any possibl...e obstacles were addressed, and the motion for parole was granted. As having been a former prosecutor for many years Mr. Ricciuti has an excellent working knowledge of what tactics opposing council will most likely utilize, and this knowledge is invaluable to a defense attorney. I would highly recommend Mr. Ricciuti to anyone facing a criminal matter and in need of experienced, extremely competent council.

Knows How To Get The Job DONE!!!

Attorney Ricciuti recently led us through a very bad time when a family member was arrested on a possession charge. We were very fearful to say the least. He kept us informed and explained everything. He gave us the best possible advice and defense we could have hoped for. He got numerous charges in...cluding a felony reduced to a minor non traffic fine. He was knowledgeable and remained very accessible throughout the process. Our family thanks him from the bottom of our hearts and we are very grateful.
