I am a student at Villanova University, and unfortunately I was arrested for a DUI at the beginning of last semester. I was incredibly stupid, thinking I could safely drive the short distance to my apartment. I was stopped by the police for swerving on the road and not being able to stay in my lane. They gave me some tests at the location, arrested me, and took me to the police station for a breath test. I was embarrassed and ashamed; all I could think about was how I wasted the last 3 years of my life at Villanova because no one would hire me in the financial field with this arrest. I needed a good lawyer to help me with the situation.
I researched the top lawyers for DUI, and narrowed my choices to the 3 that were the most qualified. I spoke to all 3 lawyers, and from the start Michelle was the most knowledgeable, answering all of my questions - and trust me, I had many questions! And as Villanova alumni, she was very compassionate and understood my fear of not getting a job. We discussed the circumstances of the arrest, and decided it would be best if I applied for the ARD program. She thoroughly described the program, and I was relieved to learn that if I stayed out of trouble the charges would be dismissed and Michelle could file a petition to expunge my record. I felt so much better after hearing a potential employer wouldn't find what happened.
I am happy to say I am almost finished my ARD and look forward to the day the DUI is dismissed. I am happy that Michelle was there to guide and assist me. I would whole-heartedly refer her to anyone arrested for a DUI or other criminal matter. She saved my future, and I very grateful for everything she has done for me.
Michelle was great. She spoke to the trooper before my case and was able to get my charges greatly reduced. She was compassionate and helpful. I highly recommend hiring Michelle if you need a lawyer.

Happy client
Michelle Fioravanti is definitely the lawyer you want to call when you are facing criminal charges. She and her team are professional and responded to all of the questions I had. She did a great job with my case, convincing the trooper to withdraw the criminal charges in the case. I felt completely comfortable though every stage of the procedure.

If you're looking for a lawyer made of 5 gold stars, look no further Michelle Fioravanti. She connected easily with us, listened, understood and worked diligently to provide the situation with care until the end. She is a beautiful person, inside and out, with life experience that expands into the lives of the people she helps. Every piece of her knowledge will be offered. She was quick to provide an answer, if we had a question. She won't miss a piece of information and has a very strong, team oriented mindset. I can't thank her enough for the work that was credited to her, during the worst experience of our life. Thank you!

Michelle was the absolute best. I consulted with her after being dissatisfied with my previous attorney. The ADA offered felonies, which my previous attorney said there was nothing we could do. I spoke with Michelle, and she promised to fight for me. After several months of representation, the ADA agreed to lower the charges to misdemeanors. This was very important to me, because it allowed me to pursue my career in the financial industry. I appreciate this opportunity more now than ever, because I just learned that I’m going to be a father for the first time.
I would highly recommend Michelle to anyone facing criminal charges.
Thank you, Michelle.
