I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer. THE ABSOLUTE BEST!

Selecting a lawyer is a very daunting, scary and arduous process. You can never be certain, if who you select is the right person, until you are in the thick of things. Gregory J. Pagano, now lovingly deemed as "Poppa" agreed to represent me, in a case that made national headlines. He did so, not s...eeking notoriety nor fame but because he genuinely cared about me first and what I had to say. He listened intently, as I detailed what took place on that tragic night. What stood out most, was his ability to listen without interruption and his honest approach to my defense. He spent significant time explaining the next steps in my case and what to look forward to with regard to the judicial process. He enlisted the help of co-council, to ensure that he had the most efficient, knowledgeable, resourceful team possible. Greg, DOES NOT operate within the confines of standard business hours. He made himself available not only to myself but my family as well, whenever there were questions or concerns. Greg is an emotionally intelligent, smart, patient, kind, encouraging, supportive, well respected and decent human being. He is very inclusive, as he wants you to feel as much apart of the team as he is. The love and adoration that I have for him, is far beyond what words could EVER express. His reputation far exceeds him. Greg is committed to excellence. You will never feel scammed or taken advantage of, while in his care. He is the winning team!!!

BEST LAWYER, VERY THOROUGH !

A friend recommended me to Mr. Pagano. He was an excellent choice of Lawyer and I am so happy that I choose him. I was accused of a crime that I did not commit and during the whole process of my case (beginning to end), Mr. Pagano made sure that he was available anytime I had any questions, comments ...or concerns. Even when at times he could not get to the phone at the moment, he would have a paralegal from his office get back to me with the information that I inquired about in a timely manner. He made sure that I was comfortable each time I came to visit his office to speak to him. Pagano felt like family rather then a lawyer. Mr. Pagano work is outstanding and when it comes to fighting for your legal issues, he is the guy to come to! He is very thorough at the work he does. He won my case. What more can I say?! That speaks volumes right there!

Highly Recommended!

We retained Mr. Pagano to represent my husband who was facing several felony charges. Mr. Pagano and his staff worked meticulously to ensure they had all the information to resolve this case. He was courteous, professional, and understood the gravity of the situations outcome. With his hard work, my ...husband got the best possible outcome from his case. I would highly recommend Greg!!

Greg is the Best

I have know Greg going on 25 years. I am a former Tipstaff in the First Judicial District of PA (Phila.) and worked in the criminal courts for 17 years. I earned a BA in English Literature at night. and I went to work for the State Parole Board as an agent. I was assigned to the Fugitive Team and ...was fully deputized as a US Marshal. I retired from State Parole because of injuries received during an arrest. I was involved in an incident where a stranger opened fire on my family business and family, including my daughter and nephews, I was subsequently arrested after arriving on the scene and having an accidental discharge. The charges lodged against me were clearly exaggerated, but the prosecution persisted. I was held on $200,000.00 10% bail. I met with Greg after posting bail, and he agreed to take my case. Greg insisted on hiring a ballistician, and the results were in my favor, but the prosecution still persisted. Greg was relentless in pursuing the true story of the incident and finally convinced the prosecution to reduce the charges and got a favorable plea for me. To say that I am happy with Greg's handling of the case would be a gross understatement. Greg was fantastic and never wavered in pursuit of a fair outcome for me. I am very grateful to him and his fine staff.
