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 argu...ed successfully for what the constitution states. I am thankful for Sodomsky and Nigrini law office.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
