Gregory Pagano

Mr. Gregory Pagano helped me out in a time of need. He is professional, knowledgeable, and very easily approachable. I would recommend him to anyone in need of legal help.

What you expect from a lawyer you get from Greg!!

Greg handled my situation professionally and was very caring. He explained everything to me in a way where I understood exactly what I needed to know and was always responsive to my needs. He has a great way about him and so does his staff. The result of my case was positive and I am forever grate...ful. I would highly recommend him!!

The man, the myth, the lawyer...

Greg handle my case and a few of my friends I recommended them to him. On my case, the outcome wasn't what we wanted but it wasn't in his hands. It was up to the judge and the judge just didn't seem to care for my trial, she was busy talking to her assistance during my trial. She gave her verdict and... I got 2 years probation while I could've walked away when the evidence showed that it was an illegal stop and the officer's story didn't add up to what he wrote when he arrested me. Regardless, as I said, it was not up to Greg. I felt he gave his best and I can tell he's a great lawyer. If I did not, I would not have recommended him clients. One of my friend was caught red handed and he didn't serve any time for possession of large amounts of marijuana. Another friend of mine, had a federal case and if you know about federal cases, it isn't easy to win a federal case. However, Greg got my friend's case to 33 months with some time served (I believe it was that amount) for something he was facing 10+ years with no tattle telling! If that isn't enough then you need to google, bing, yahoo, or hire an PI on him. After all that not working, then hire him and if your case isn't what you wished to happen then I'll let you get whatever you want from McDonald's dollar menu! Anything!
