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. I tried but that's not possible. He gave me his cell phone and said to call anytime, even at night. He probably r...egrets that now. Many nights I'd start to freak out and called him. He was always reassuring and it helped. At court he was right, he got my case dismissed. Thank you so much. I'll keep your number and give to anybody who needs help.

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, 2016

This 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.

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.

Best lawyer ever

I was stupid and was caught stealing at work. I was charged with embezzlement. I made the smartest decision ever and hired Mr. Pignone as my lawyer. I was scared since I'm in college and a conviction would ruin my future. Mr. Pignone was able to get the charged changed to something less and made it s...o it will be dismissed if I do some community service work. In the end, nothing on my record. Thank you so much Mr. Pignone, you're the greatest.

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!
