Experienced Lawyer

Michael unfortunately for me has represented me on more than one occasion. This is because I trust him as a friend and lawyer. He goes above and beyond just representing you. He's always just a phone call away. Very experienced and I highly recommend.

Success Starts with Michael

If you find yourself in need of legal representation in Pennsylvania, the absolute best thing you can do to ensure the best outcome possible, is to have Michael DiCindio by your side. I hired Mr. DiCindio through the recommendation of another attorney, for a DUI case involving my son. Patient, resp...ectful and always available, Mike treated my son with the same urgency, care, and personal attention that he would afford a member of his own family. Mike is compassionate, non-judgmental and 100% honest. He always ensured my son fully understood the status of the case and the recommended path forward, which in this case was a successful entry into the ARD program. There was never a time over the six-month course of the case where a concern or question he had was not answered same day. He was treated as if he was his most important client. Mike partnered with us every step of the way to ensure our case was concluded with the absolute best outcome available. Three simple words Mike said to us toward the beginning of the process confirmed we were in good hands: “I’m always here”.

Patient, Understanding, and Compassionate - The right man for the job

I contacted Mr. DiCindio in February of 2021 after getting into some trouble for the first time in my adult life. I was worried and didn't know where to turn. I had reached out to a number of attorneys without yielding a response. I located Mr. DiCindio via google and submitted an inquiry online. Req...uested a call at 4 pm on a Sunday. At exactly 4 pm on Sunday, Mr. DiCindio reached out to discuss my case. From the moment I began speaking with Mr. DiCindio, I knew I was in good hands. He thoroughly explained my charges and went the extra mile to make sure I understood everything pertaining to my case. After my initial call with Mr. DiCindio, I felt very confident and retained his services. From that point forward we were in regular communication forming a plan to tackle my case. Mr. DiCindio was very transparent throughout the entire case process and worked with me to remedy all parties involved with my case - all the while providing me with much-needed peace of mind. I was able to take care of everything required prior to my court date. Mr, DiCindio successfully got my charges withdrawn without cost and I was able to move on with my life. In conclusion, I was extremely satisfied with Mr. DiCindio's representation and would highly recommend him to anyone that requires legal representation or advice.

Breakfast for me Brunch for you???

Mike DiCindio is an absolutely brilliant attorney. At this time i can't find the right words to express my appreciation for his knowledge, dedication and attention to details. My case was slightly complicated and I was very concerned because I am an out if state resident. Mike DiCindio was able to “...Eat my case for breakfast”. I am extremely pleased and I’m so happy that the positive reviews were dead on accurate which led me to choosing him!

100% recommended

Already I was feeling fearful about the outcome of my case, but with Mike, the sound of confidence in his voice is what made me know I was in good hands. He does not "sugar coat" the possibilities of the outcome. He is very honest and open and lays out the facts. He was on top of all the evidence tha...t was needed for collection and kept me updated along the way when new information would surface about my case. Choose Mike for your attorney! You wont regret it!
