Mr. Gregory J. Pagano, a lawyer with knowledge, experience, and strategies to win

Atty Gregory J. Pagano is a brilliant and fearless trial lawyer. He and his staff show enormous respect, care, and concern for the clients. Mr. Pagano and his team of attorneys are patient, thorough, and well-informed. My case with the Federal Government and the State of Pennsylvania lasted for n...early seven years plus. Throughout this lengthy time, Mr. Pagano and his team of lawyers and office staff were always available, patient, and willing to give me updates, counsel, and insight on the strategies being deployed for the next hearings or court dates Mr. Pagano and his team of lawyers do not just argue cases for their clients, but they also take the time to explain to the client what they (as lawyers) are doing with the client's case and why they are doing so. In this process, the client becomes fully aware of the strategies and steps involved. Mr. Pagano is a lawyer who understands the ethics of the courtroom. He honors the judges and shows respect to the opposing consuls, but his interest is always his client's safety, freedom, or victory. My case was certainly difficult, but Mr. Pagano and his team of lawyers and staff worked tirelessly to alleviate my stress and gave me a soft landing. I sincerely recommend Mr. Gregory J. Pagano and his law firm with high confidence and no hesitation for any case that falls within the range of his practice. Sincerely, James J.

Mr. Pagano won my double murder case and then got me $750,000.00

I was charged with a double murder that I did not commit. Mr. Pagano represented me at trial. He was dedicated, he investigated the case better than the police and I was acquitted. We then sued the City of Philadelphia for malicious prosecution and they settled the case for $750,000.00. He never ...gave up on me or the case. Because of him I was able to regain my freedom and get a fresh start in my life.

Would not hire anyone else.

Greg Pagano has been a god send to me and my family. He is very on point and does his homework. When you are in the court room with him by your side you actually get a sense that he truly cares about the outcome and the well being of you and your case.
