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.
