Helped me with a traffic ticket

I received a reckless driving ticket and was extremely nervous about losing my license and my insurance increasing. Mr. Pignone talked me through the entire process and in the end had my case dismissed. He was there to take all of my frantic phone calls and helped calm me down each time. He is by far... the best lawyer in the area. I will refer him to anyone that needs help! Thanks Mr. Pignone!

Very helpful

Mike helped reduce my DUI charge down to a reckless driving. He did everything that he promised he would and in the end, I left relieved and thrilled about my case. I have recommended several of my friends to Mike and he is the only lawyer I will use from here on out.

Misleading

Mr. Pignone represented me on a DWI case and it was amended to reckless driving. However, he was very misleading and non responsive to my inquiries. I had to call him several times to get a response. He called me several time until I hired him. After payment, he never called. I had to repeatedl...y call him to get a response to my questions. He was also misleading about my plea agreement. I would recommend looking elsewhere.

DUI, Reckless Driving, Hit & Run

I hired Mike to represent me for the charges above. We went to court 4 different times. He was finally able to show the prosecutor the differences in the stories told by the officers and the witnesses. They finally had to agree and dismissed all of the charges. I would've lost my job if that wasn't t...he outcome. I can't thank him enough.

One of Virginia's Finest Defense Attorney's

Mike is very professional and responsive to your needs. Takes his time to analyze the situation and then determines the best approach to take. Mike doesn't treat you as a client he takes care of you like you're family. Couldn't ask for a better attorney.

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.
