Dilligent, professional and truly vested in the outcome

We hired Greg to handle a very scary and urgent situation that involved one of our children. Greg engaged immediately. We felt like we knew him and could trust him very quickly. He performed from the start keeping our son away from a very dangerous and scary facility. He was very responsive througho...ut, always answered questions and you could tell he was "all in" totally vested in the outcome. As our case was not in Philly he was eventually more then willing to team up with local counsel and formed a team that saved our childs future. Greg is passionate, smart and responsive.

Great Lawyer

I hired Mr. Pagano for a criminal trial. He was very well prepared for all aspects of my case. His investigation into the facts of of the case went beyond my expectations. I found Gregory Pagano to be a very dedicated and professional lawyer. I would highly recommend Mr. Pagano.

Great Attorney

Greg has been working on my internet related charges. The nature of what I am being charged with is very complicated. I was afraid I would never be able to explain to an attorney. I am so happy that Greg has taken the time to really understand. So far I am very impressed with Greg and recommend him w...ithout any reservations.

Represented by the Best

My Name is Michael and I was facing 10 to 20 years for a self defense act in the recent past years. I was framed and charged with shooting an innocent by-standard, in which came with 6 more attempt murder chargers and other related charges. I was represented by another attorney before I met with Greg... and that council wasn't effective enough, once I've hired Mr. Pagano my trouble began to diminish. The first time I spoke with Greg he told me that I would be in "his" office the next time we spoke. And he kept his word, he had me home on bail, on house arrest within 8 months of being incarcerated. Soon after went on to beating all the charges brought against me besides the gun charges. That day I was carrying an illegal firearm, as for the rest of the charges "NOT GUILTY " . Greg not only made sure the jury came back with a not guilty verdict, he made sure he executed every need, to me living a normal life once I was released from jail. He is a very well equipped attorney and I wouldn't recommend anyone else for the job. Since I've known him he has did everything in his power as to seeing I was cleared of the very serious charges that were bought upon me. I'm glad that God brought Greg into to my life because now I'm able to be a father to my daughter and a chance to being a better man. Instead of being a waste of talent behind bars, a statistic. He is very trustworthy and enjoys what he do, if you are reading this, take it for me being someone that was facing 10 to 20, to now being cleared of all those charges. I've been through enough to know who's who, with that being said hire Gregory J. Pagano if ever in any legal troubles. He is very well respected and will make sure you are represented by best quality attorney. Himself. Gregory J. Pagano - Michael

Commented to Justice being served.

I was locked up 4 years. For a double homicide, inwhich I signed statement telling my involvement. I was a innocent man. The statement was a product of me being coerced by philadelphia police detectives Pitts and Jenkins. Throughout my fours years my family and I struggled to find someone to represen...t me. For two main reasons, 1) its was a double homicide and 2) I signed a statement. With these two elements alone lawyers starting prices $40-$50,000 for trail. Greg came in and took my case for less than half the cost. Greg was on my case for 11/2 years and got me in trail quickly. Greg showed great concern for my case. Where in the past, lawyers to me seemed heartless and money hungry. He really showed me different and that he has a heart and loves seeing justice be served. he made feel comfortable and comunciated with me on every decision he made. being locked up fighting this type of case Pagano put my mind at ease often by doing the simple things like answering letters, phone calls,and keeping appointments. This played a major role in me keeping my sanity. Greg was always honest with me and expressed how he believed in my case and that he was going to do everything he can to get me home. I believe that Greg Pagano has a heart for men and women when it comes to detecting the truth from a lie. I would recommend Greg Pagano as a attorney for any case because of his understanding, comment, and sincerity to men and womencaught up in the justice system.
