Erika

I was in dire need for legal representation. Michael Carrucoli came through for me. I can’t thank him and his team enough. It was a very tough time for me but Michael, staying patient and informative, highlighted things as we went along which lead us to a very successful outcome. Again, thank you!...

DUI with chemical test refusal; Flat rate fee.

I was charged with a DUI that also has a chemical test refusal(first offense). I never had any priors and so this shook me to my very core. I then found Mike. He was god send. He was calm, nice to talk to, always available. The rate charged was totally reasonable. After speaking to him then I found m...y self little relieved because of the confidence I got after. I was told what my options are and how we can get there. ARD was my best choice and I got it because of him. Seems like he already spoke to the folks at Cumberland County court office I guess because when I was there for my preliminary hearing they already have my name on the list of pre-approved folks for ARD. First time I was excited about pre-approvals. Lol. Anyways, I got into fast-track program kept my head down and finally got all my charges cleared. In the mean time my license suspension was also kicking in for my chemical test refusal. There wasn't much room for me anyways and he helped me push it as much as I can so that I can sort things out in the mean time. Through out my whole ordeal I called him many times and he was always there to answer which I totally appreciated. I cannot give this man enough credit for pulling me through the toughest of my times. Without any hesitation, I can tell you he is the guy should you ever get into this kind of trouble. Totally recommend.

Great Experience

I used Mike for my DUI defense and he was able to get me the best possible outcome. Everything worked out just like Mike explained it to me at our first meeting. He was very organized and knowledgeable and was great with following up with me almost immediately in all instances. I shopped around and M...ike's fee was right in line with or less than most attorneys. I feel like I received a lot of value for the fee I paid for his services. I would recommend Mike to my family and friends!

Thank you

My son, who suffers from Aspergers and depression, was charged with possession of marijuana when police responded to his 911 call. Attorney Carrucoli was able to get most of the charges dropped and reduced to a fine. He was very good about carefully explaining the situation and procedures for my s...on. He also included statements from my son's autism and mental health support staff for his case with the DA. I would highly recommend Attorney Carrucoli for his compassion and diligence.

Carrucoli Review- 5 STAR!

Mike was very informative and responsive through out the entire time I needed his assistance with my case. He made sure that I was aware of all my court dates and what would be happening each time we met. He was able to meet me my husband and I at times that accomodated both of us because my work sch...edule is a bit different than most. The entire process from the time I was charged until the last court hearing Mike stayed in contact with me to make sure I was following the proper procedures in order to get all of my ducks in a row. I am almost finished with all of the requirements from my charges/arrest and Mike still checks up to make sure all is well. I would definitely recommend him if you want an individual who is well informed, affordable, and an over all great person to deal with. I have heard horror stories from people about their bad experiences with certain lawyers. This was my first time having trouble with the law, so this was my first lawyer, who was recommended by a friend. I am glad I chose Mike to represent me because now I am able to put the past 6 months behind me and move on with my life with little to no negativity that will follow me in to my future.

Criminal defense lawyer | Apr 14

Relationship: Co-worker

"Attorney Carrucoli and I worked together in the high pressure environment of the York County Public Defender's Office early in our criminal defense careers. From early on, he has shown a consistent ability to get extremely favorable plea agreements for his clients. As a public defender, he was getting better results than most private attorneys, so it was inevitable that with such a track record of success, that he would enter private practice. His skills have only grown over the years. Any time I get a call from a distraught caller in a serious jam in South Central PA, I send him to Mike."
