3 DUI Charges reduced to 2 Reckless Driving and 1 Misdemeanor Refusal

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.

Outstanding criminal defense lawyer

I have retained for a DUI case and he did an outstanding work. Professional, ethical and trustworthy, Mr. Pignone was available, very responsive and very helpful in every step and ensured the best possible outcome. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who can benefit from his service. I was alw...ays able to call him and ask him any questions I needed answered anything I was worried about or anything that I didn't understand. He always made the time to answer everything question I needed answered. If you are looking for a good criminal defense lawyer, look no further, he is the one you need.

First DUI charge

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.

Awesome Lawyer

I recommend Michael Pignone because I had a dui case and he worked very hard to help my case. Being this was my second offense he was very clear and straight forward with the outcome. He is very understanding and truly cares about the people he represents and takes his cases very serious. I would def...initely recommend him to anyone who has a situation. I was given a restricted license for 6 months and have to do classes. I have to be honest I feared jail time but he truly investigated my case and help with me having to do just those two things. He is awesome and worked with me all the way through and specially understanding my situation.
