Posted by Brandon | August 25, 2016 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Top tier, talented representation with an unwavering determination for his clients

In Fall 2015, I was in midst of my downward spiral in my battle against alcoholism. As a result of poor decision-making, I got my 2nd DUI as the result of a car accident with a child in the car. I was facing 90 days jail time, EWOC, reckless endangerment of another person, along with a slew of traf...fic related driving charges. To say that I felt my life was over at the time, is an understatement. I reached out to Alfonso trying to retain legal representation quickly, as he was the only lawyer to assure me I had options and just needed to breathe - he was ready to tackle this head on. His focus, compassion, extensive legal knowledge, and dedication to my case was immediately apparent to me. We reviewed my options from possible jail time to Drug Treatment Court to entering a treatment facility (which I desperately needed). As a result, he aggressively negotiated on my behalf with the DA to enter treatment as opposed to jail, which no doubt saved my life and has allowed me to retain my career, my family and deal with my alcoholism head on successfully. Throughout the whole legal process, his first concern was how I was doing personally, as well as my family, assuring me that we needn't worry about the legal intricacies of my case, and to focus on getting healthy - he had it handled! Even after my case was finalized with the courts, he's continued to support getting my life on the right path by helping me work with the state to possibly get an occupational license, which has been above and beyond what I hired him for. If you are reading this and don't know where to turn, rest assured that you won't regret having him represent you no matter what the legal battle is that you are facing. His professionalism, dedication, compassion and 'pitbull' legal acumen are without question, proven by the successful outcome of my case and his ongoing support of me personally post-trial. I'm forever indebted to him and his practice for helping me out of the darkest points to a life that is now positive, healthy and focused. Thank you!

Excellent

Al. Was so personally involved in my case I felt like he was a family member with a attorney education. He knows his way around the courtroom and understand the political arena that is in the courtroom. I am from Delaware county and had no idea who to hire for my defense. So after my 3 rd interv...iew of attorneys. The fist 5 minutes of my free consoutatiion I knew he was the one I needed. Al thank you so much for your knowledge and support and most of all thank you for you professionalism. Brian. C. Long President KB Portable Air LLC

Excellent Service

Mr. Gambone served as my 93-year-old Grandmother's attorney when she made changes to her Will. He was most accommodating in coming to her house and explaining the entire process to her. He did not speak at her but to her. She was very ill and he helped her through a difficult process. After her d...emise, he represented her estate. He was most patient with my family as we proceeded through the administration of her estate. On a personal note, Mr. Gambone is very involved with his neighborhood and community and just an all round nice guy! He is very caring, professional and personable. I would recommend Mr. Gambone to anyone I know who is looking for an attorney.

Thank you so much Alfonso!

When I found out that I had a suspended license, a warrant our for my arrest, and speculatively no car insurance without my knowledge, I felt scared and not sure where to turn. I'm a young woman and I never really thought of myself as someone to "get in trouble with the law", yet I felt like a cri...minal for something I had no idea I was supposedly committing.. Maybe over reacting on my part, but I needed someone to help me feel okay about the situation and promise me no jail time for a crazy mix up. Alfonso did just that. From the first initial phone call, I felt so much better about the situation. The case required 3 court dates, Alfonoso assured me off the bat that everything would turn out okay, and a huge burden was lifted. It turned out that all I had to due was pay some fines, and all of my charges were changed and reduced. Thank you so much for your work, You really helped me feel comfortable and confident that everything would turn out okay. Thanks for your attention to detail and your help! It really was a lifesaver!

A lawyer that gets it done!

I'm a 43 year old business owner that had the worst senario I had been at my shop late at nite many a day but this nite was different I won't go into details just the basics I was acused of pointing a gun at a federal employee ( who was heavily armed and wearing full body armor) just to paint a pictu...re It was his word against mine and I don't work for uncle Sam I was pardon my french Screwed! I was in Mr. Gambone's office in tears literally in tears 4 charges for something I didn't do I watched as the person told the judge in a perfect and calm tone that I did these things ( i was threatened and told my life would be ruined) Gambone told me to calm down he is gonna handle this for me he told me every thing was gonna be just fine " I couldn't stop crying " my life my freedom gone?? Everything lost Here's the deal Gambone went like the military ( witch is were he's from) he was agresive very agresive he answered my calls every single time even late at nite very impressive I mean he never left me alone how's this Mr. Gambone had a family emergency! He was in the hospital with his son and still the man did his job !! Who does that ? He told me everything will be ok i told him my prayers are with his family he was thankful but still rite on top of my case final results "ALL CHARGES DROPPED " So my opinion of Alfonso Gambone as a lawyer Outstanding! and as a father Incredible and true! Thank you to the Gambone firm for saving my future my freedom my life!

"It is my sincere pleasure to endorse Alfonso Gambone. I am an attorney, a civil litigator, who was empanelled to serve on a criminal jury in Philadelphia last year. Mr. Gambone was representing the defendant in a particularly sensitive trial. Mr. Gambone's presentation was clear and persuasive. Although the facts were stacked against his client, Mr. Gambone put on a compelling defense. Ultimately, Mr. Gambone succeeded in raising reasonable doubt in the minds of several jurors that prevented his client from being convicted. I highly recommend his counsel."
