Best lawyer in DMV

Michael Pignone has a great understanding of the laws for DUI cases as well as misdemeanor drug charges! Mr. Pignone was able to review the facts of my case and determine the best possible outcome for me. He did not go automatically try to find the easiest way to go about having the case settled, but... made sure that as his client I was given the best outcome! No jail time and a short suspension of license is what he was able to have offered to me! I can now get this case behind me and move across the country as I have been attempting to do long before the charges came about. Without Mr.Pignone the outcome would have been entirely different. He is worth every penny and I'm thankful that he was referred to me.

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!

Decent and Honest Lawyer

I hired Mike Pignone after I was arrested with a DUI with a pretty high BAC. I interviewed several lawyers but I knew when I met Mike that I would want him to handle my DUI charge. What I liked most about Mike was that he was easy to talk to and was honest about my options. Mike took the time to ...answer all of my questions and concerns. He was always there for me when I needed reassurance, which was very important to me. I feel that Mike did everything that he could in my case and he was able to get the outcome that I wanted which was to avoid mandatory jail time. I would definitely recommend Mr. Pignone.

Mike Saved Me!

After a rough weekend of drinking, I faced charges of Felony DUI, B&E, Stalking, Drive on Suspended, Refusal. I knew I was facing a long time in jail on the 2 felonies. I trusted Mike since I've known him for a long time. When it was all done, I had no felonies and only had to do 60 days in work rele...ase on a misdemeanor. I cannot thank him enough or recommend him more. If you find yourself in a situation like was in, don't hesitate or even think about another lawyer, call Mike!

Amazing DUI result. Thank you.

I made a horrible mistake and got arrested for a DUI. This was my second offense. Embarrassingly, I blew a high number. I was shocked when Mike told me if convicted I would go to jail for 20 days and lose my license for 3 years! I trusted Mike with my case and my fate. He was able to find a few thing...s wrong with the case and ultimately I was found guilty of a first offense with only one night in jail and only a 12 month loss of license with a restricted license the entire time. I can't thank him enough. That saved my job and my life. Thank you so much.

  • 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.
