Mawu F. Kollie

I hired John Kerrigan to represent my son, Coco Wallace, who was charged with first degree murder. Mr. Kerrigan took the case, handled the Preliminary Hearing, a Habeas Corpus proceeding, and trual in the Bucks County court of Common Pleas. After the trial, my son was acquitted of first degree murder..., and also, the other counts of murder for which he was charged. Mr. Kerrigan did a great job for him. I am very grateful for what he did, and my son is grateful also.

Living a Dream

Hello My name is Gregory Orlowski, I’m writing on the behalf of John Kerrigan. He was my attorney of record in my case and represented me from the time I was arrested in 1980 to my release in 2009. I was tried and convicted of Capital Murder and sentenced to life without parole. Thru out ...the years John has always believed in me that is should be released. In 2002 I got in touched with John to get a letter from the Trial Judge and asked him to represent me for commutation from the Board of Pardons. He told me that he would represent me at the Public Hearing. In 2004 I was granted a hearing, John also accompanied me to my interview with the Board of Pardons and was very helpful to me. On April 1,2004 I was recommended unanimous from the Board of Pardons to the Governor Desk for a signature . On June 2, 2009 my sentence was commuted and I was released to a Halfway House for one year. John has always been there for me thru out the years. He has always help me if I needed any legal advice. He is a real good human being always a gentleman

Charged with trroristic threats and theft

Mr.Kerrigan Jr. was an excellent attorney, he charge me a fair price and im a single parent on SSD because i am disabled from kidney failure from Lupus and he worked with me money wise so i could pay it off without interest. He took charge in and ruled in the court room and i was soo impressed he mad...e it look easy. He was so good that he got the terroristic threat charge thrown out so i was only convicted with the theft charge that I got 1year ARD for. Months before i was convicted of another theft charge that i got a finde for so if I was convicted of the terroristic threat charge it would have been my 3rd misdemeaner that would of caused me to have a felony and he save my ass big time. I recommend him to annyone with any legal problem with the cops, in my opinion he is one of the best for any case, he is also a very nice polite gentalman and I felt very confident having him represent me.
