Charged with major crime - all charges dropped! Highly Recommend

I was charged with PWID. The cocaine weight called for a mandatory minimum sentence of 3 years in a State Correctional Prison. Mr. Marinaro suppressed all the evidence. I'm a free man without a criminal record. Attorney Marinaro and his paralegal were very professional. I would highly recommend ...this law firm.

I would not trust any other Lancaster County Attorney with a child custody manner!

I found Michael through a friend recommendation after a not so great experience with another Lancaster County attorney. She had basically run my case in to the ground. Michael took my case and straightened out what needed to be fixed and took my custody situation from a shared custody position to me ...having primary custody which put my child back in a safe situation. The best thing about Attorney Marinaro is he is always gives you realistic information and does not make false promises. Another thing to mention is that I felt that he had a personal interest in my case and the safety of my child. In the courtroom, he is always respectful but gets his point across. He also helps keep his client calm and composed. I highly recommend!

VERY PROFESSIONAL

I have known Attorney Marinaro professionally and socially for more than 20 years. As a psychologist, I have always respected him and appreciated the quality of work and dedication he devotes to his clients. I have followed his numerous not guilty verdicts that have been published in the local news ...paper. Recently, Mr. Marinaro represented my son in a drug case. I was greatly impressed with his professionalism and steadfast focus on my sons's case. Mr. Marinaro was very aggressive in gathering information and presenting it to the DA. His overall efforts resulted in the best sentence I could expect given the charges that should have resulted in a mandatory minimum term of state incarceration. My son served no jail time and is now accountable for his actions

Experienced lawyer - excellent result

Mr. Marinaro was outstanding with representing me in my drug case. I was facing state incarceration. Instead I was sentenced to probation. For the amount of drugs involved I'm forever grateful to Mr. Marinaro for his negotiating ability.

Mr. Marinaro is an great lawyer. He is professional and put me and my family at ease during our difficult time. I was facing upstate jail time for the crimes I committed. The evidence against me included a forced confession that the cops got out of me. Mr. Marinaro clearly explained the conseque...nces I was facing which included jail time up state. We entered into an open court guilty plea where i was sentenced to only probation!! I am forever greatful! This was because of Attorney Marinaro's knowledge of the law and my circumstances. He without a doubt knew what he was doing. I would recommend him to anyone facing a difficult situation. He is now our family lawyer.
