REASSURING, ARTICULATE, KNOWLEDGEABLE, EFFECTIVE!

Without a doubt, Mr. Pagano is the best criminal defense lawyer in town! I couldn't thank Mr Pagano and his legal team enough for the perfect execution from the beginning to the end! Honestly, I was a bit worried when I was referred to Mr. Pagano as my case may seem trivial to his usual big murder.../narcotics cases but how he proved me wrong! He didn't take the case lightly at all. He diligently explained every situation in detail to me and answered all of my questions. What's more is that his charisma in court should not be ignored. To start off, Mr. Pagano is well respected by judges and the court staff and we all know it takes time to earn that trust and respect and how important that may come in handy. He worked relentlessly and will simply not give up to fight for the best outcomes for his clients until the very end! I was very fortunate to fall into the care of the Gregory J Pagano Law Office and I would recommend them to anyone in need of a law firm to handle any legal matter.

Illegally Searched

Greg Pagano and his team are a group of intellectual and educated forces. Not only did he and his team win a Double Murder Case for my family he also won a case of illegal search and seizure of my son's car that was pulled over by the Philadelphia Police illegally. If you want Positive Results hire... Greg Pagano and his Team.

The Best!!

I retained Gregory Pagano on multiple occasions for cases involving my son. As a parent I was obviously frightened. Mr. Pagano is an outstanding attorney who is intelligent, detailed, very hands on and personable. He made both myself and my son feel like we were in the best hands always and the outco...mes of the cases could not have been better. He is THE defense attorney in this area.

NOT GUILTY - Murder Case

My son was charged with murder. The case was difficult. There was DNA evidence and cell phone evidence. After almost 2 and a half years Mr. Pagano brought my son home to me. He and his staff worked very hard for our family. He is an excellent attorney.

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.
