My name is Josh and there are not many people I trust with my life. myself , and the law offices of sodomski and nigrini. I never stress knowing jay nigrini is my attorney. jay went to war for me in a 3 hour battle with the probation department, the D.A, and clerk or courts to get my drivers back on a D.U.I., that no other person had success and my liscence was restored. Jay is a tiger that never sleeps. I know a number of jays clients who would not be walking the streets without jay. I just hired jay yesterday on a new charge of simple assault that the D.A. is seeking 6 months and not budging on a day. Attorney Paul Yessler, a P.D., refused to file any pretrial motions for relief, told me to go to jail, when I was defending my wife from a predator that attacked her while she was pregnant and stalks her. Jay will always exercise your constitutional rights from Pretrial Habeas Corpus to any other appropriate relief necessary. 99.9 percent of criminal cases are flawed with unlawful procedures by police, detectives, and district attorney who want to lock you up reguardless of who they hurt, they do not care BUT JAY NIGRINI DOES. I will definitely keep an update on the status of my new case. I will also mention this law office got me a big plea deal on 7 felony counts and got my parents bail money back when the bondsman tried to keep 3000.00.
I put my my freedom in this mans hands and we took my case to trial and he definitely turned into Johny Cochran and I was a free man after that thank you so much sir !!!
Years of trial experience has resulted in the acquittal of dozens of clients in cases involving allegations of murder, rape, sexual assault, gun possession, drug distribution, aggravated assault, DUI, and theft.
Aggressively pursued and obtained six-figure dollar awards on behalf of grief stricken family members.
17 years, 2 cases
ATTORNEY NIGRINI'S TRIAL EXPERIENCE AND STELLAR REPUTATION IS SECOND TO NONE!
I have spent the last 15 years dedicating my practice to defending the rights of the accused. An individual charged with a crime must fully understand the consequences that follow a conviction. When interviewing a prosective attorney, always ask how often he or she has defended a specific criminal allegation at trial. It has been my privilege to vigorously defend dozens of innocent clients through a trial proceeding in several counties throught eastern and central Pennsylvania. I have received several referrals from prominent criminal defense attorneys to handle cases that they are unwilling or unable to defend.
Respected by prosecuting attorneys, law enforcement and judges throughout the area, all of whom know that I come prepared to fight for each and every one of my clients, regardless of the allegations.

An incredible attorney
My son has never been in trouble in his life, is a med student in college. About 4 yrs ago, his ex-gf (future wife and had been a 4 yr serious relationship) got a restraining order against him over an argument on Facebook after they broke up. (Talk about blowing things out of proportion! A highly emotional young woman) Since my son didn't live in PA and never intended to go there, and never intended to see her again, he didn't show up to defend himself in court. Fast forward 4 yrs later when he DID live in PA due to college and a new fiancee. On a rainy, icy winter evening, a car slid into his and tried to flee the scene. My son called the police, who, after processing the accident, arrested my son for the outstanding warrant!
My son was actually taken to a prison in PA and kept for nearly 10 days just awaiting a hearing for this warrant over FB rants from 4 yrs before! His ex-gf was now living several states away with her fiance! WHAT A REAL-LIFE NIGHTMARE! This was truly a horror story out of a movie!
Because I have dealt with a severe medical condition and our finances deteriorated while ill, I had no money, and no attorneys would do anything unless I handed over cash up front. By Divine Intervention, a clerk in one of my many phone calls suggested I call the bar association, who suggested Jay NIgrini. I can something nothing less than that this attorney is an angel. He had my son arraigned the next day and out with the case dismissed the following afternoon!
If you need an attorney and an amazing advocate, THIS is who you need to call. This man is TRULY an exceptional PERSON, as well as extremely capable attorney. I will never be able to thank him enough for his help and for restoring my faith and setting an example of how people SHOULD live their lives, always helping others to their highest ability. What an incredible man!

All charges dropped
When faced with a very long prison sentence, it is vital to choose the right attorney to handle the case. My belief is that if I would have chose a different attorney, I more than likely would not have my freedom as I do today. Attorney Nigrini listened to the details of the case carefully and argued successfully for what the constitution states. I am thankful for Sodomsky and Nigrini law office.

Worst Lawyers in History!
Worst lawyers in history!! Wouldnt represent me in court the way i asked, filed motions without telling me after I asked approval on every document, and tried to make me a fugitive by not telling me about a upcoming hearing on sentencing on my case! Literally did nothing but collect a check and the less than the bare minimum!! Refused to mention i got roofied or misconduct.. I was roofied, severely injured during police custody, illegally searched with video evidence, and had pee taken that night... This firm did nothing except set me up to lose!
