Fantastic Representation

Recently I was wrongly arrested for a DUI and hired Mike to decipher and clear up the mess I was in. Faced with only two options A: take a wrongly charged 1st offense DUI, B: Go to trial and fight it. Mike advised me that my case was strong enough to take to trial. Mike did everything in his power t...o make sure the facts were the only pieces used to determine I was actually innocent and wrongly accused of a DUI. Because of the superior representation I received from Mike, I got the charges completely dropped! I definitely recommend his services!

Traffic violations

I hired Mike Pignone to help me with my issue steaming from an unpaid ticket that resulted in my license being suspended. From the time I met him up until court he made this an easy situation to deal with. I would highly recommend using him. Kennet

Best lawyer ever

I was stupid and was caught stealing at work. I was charged with embezzlement. I made the smartest decision ever and hired Mr. Pignone as my lawyer. I was scared since I'm in college and a conviction would ruin my future. Mr. Pignone was able to get the charged changed to something less and made it s...o it will be dismissed if I do some community service work. In the end, nothing on my record. Thank you so much Mr. Pignone, you're the greatest.

Awesome DUI result!!!

I hired Mr. Pignone for a DUI and a refusal. He continued the case 4 times without additional charge to force the prosecutor to provide discovery. Yesterday, they still hadn't given it to us. Mr. Pignone refused to let them continue it again. I ended up with a Reckless Driving, no ASAP classes and no... loss of license. Oh, the refusal was also dismissed. Haven't stop smiling or telling friends about my lawyer. Thanks Mr. P.

Traffic Ticket

I am a cab driver and was cited for running a red light. I contacted and hired Mike Pignone. He felt sure he could help me. I certainly did not expect for the case to be dismissed, but that's exactly what happened. Thanks Mike!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
