Professional-
I hired Mike through a friends referral for a serious wreckless driving charge. He was thorough, professional, and affordable. He was able to have my ticket resolved efficiently due to his relationship with the prosecutor. I hope I never need him again, but if I do, Mike will be the first call!

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...

Don't even bother calling another lawyer
Was with the wrong people and got charged because of whyat they were doing. I was beyond worried that I'd lose my business. I hired Mike and he told me to relax that he'd take care of me.

If half a star was available I would have chosen it
He was my court-appointed attorney for grand larceny and he was awful!!!! No argument, no fight in the courtroom and he never returned any of my 76 phone calls to his office. Don't hire him. You will regret it.
Michael Pignone
Replied last November 15, 2016This person was never my client. I do not do court-appointed cases as this reviewer claims. I have not defended a Grand Larceny case in many years as my practice is primarily DUI, traffic and drug charges. Unfortunately, once someone posts on AVVO it is there to stay, even if it is posted in error. All of my clients get my cell phone number. In addition, clients know that if I do not answer, it's because I'm in court or in a meeting and they text me. I have never had a client that called me 76 times without me answering or returning a call. I'm not sure who the court-appointed attorney was, but it was not me.

Rock Star in the legal field!!!
Worked tirelessly to ensure the best possible outcome to the case. Was VERY honest and up front and direct in all communication. If you're in trouble this is the man to call.
