Michael Alan Pignone

I've retained Mike Pignone for the past 7 years for alcohol related DWI charges, He is the best lawyer for these cases. He understands the law and ensured that I received the correct adjudication. I am a retired Marine suffering from PTSD and he got three DUI charges reduced to Reckless driving and o...ne misdemeanor refusal. I strongly recommend him for to be retained. You will not be disappointed and won't do jail time.

This was the first time I have ever had to hire an attorney and I am thankful it was Mike. He helped give me the peace of mind and confidence during one of the most stressful times of my life dealing with a DUI charge. From the consultation, he was transparent on how the case would go, likely outcome..., and things I needed to do in the meantime before my hearing. He went above and beyond to get my charge of a DUI dropped down to a reckless driving charge and allow me to have my freedom back sooner than I thought. I can't thank him enough and will continue to recommend only him to help with anyones similar case.

Working with Mike was a very good experience. At our initial phone consult and initial meeting Mike listened patiently. At some points he me prompted for further details and some how made 4 pages of notes. Mike filed a motion to get discovery information and invited me to review it with him. During t...his review, Mike was able to detail strengths and weaknesses on both sides and laid out a strategy. Mike was very convinced by the evidence that jail time was off the table and that the State's case was vulnerable. Mike advised me that it was likely that a prosecutor would make a deal, if not dismiss. We did not communicate much until a couple days before trial; at that point, Mike was able to tell me what to expect on the day of, whether to drive myself or not, and where he would meet me and how to avoid the crowds. At court, Mike was recognized by name by the judge and several other court staff members. Prior to my case being called on the docket, Mike had secured an amended charge for me which was second only a complete win. I am very happy that I hired Mike and would return if needed and will send all friends and family in need of counsel his way. Thanks Mike!

I sat down with Mike and explained I was facing a DUI with a high BAC level. I detailed the event, some of my concerns with the arrest, and how the BAC test was given to me at the station. He sat and actively listened to me. After I was done, Mike was straight forward and honest with me about my situ...ation and what were the possible outcomes, including possible jail time. Mike worked hard researching my case and going over discovery. In the end, he was able to get my BAC level removed from record which in turn took jail time off the table. I highly recommend Mike for his professionalism, expertise, and results in my situation.

I have hired Michael Pignone twice now to represent me in DWI 1st Offense. For the first case, nearly a decade ago in Prince William County, I was just barely over the limit and did a field sobriety test. The state had all they needed for conviction. I went for a consultation with Michael Pignone and... hired him on the spot. He clearly told me what was going on, what my chances were, and what I needed to do prior to court. He continued my case. Final result, the charge was amended to a reckless with a one year suspension of license (drive only to and from work, asap classes, or medical appointments). In 2017 I got arrested and charged with DWI in Prince William County and was below the legal limit, at .06. This time, I didn't submit to the field sobriety checks and only submitted to breathalizer in the station. I hired Michael Pignone on the spot. He continued the case and negotiated a plea to reckless with a $400 fine plus court costs, 30 days suspended sentence without suspension of license or probation or ASAP. Talk to him in consultation and it is clear he knows the DWI laws inside and out. What's more he seems to enjoy taking these cases and working for his clients. If you get charged with a DWI or any serious traffic offense, especially in Prince William, I would highly recommend hiring Michael Pignone.
