The Best Choice You Can Make!

Attorney John Discavage is a caring, compassionate, dedicated, and highly skilled attorney that I was fortunate to have represent me in my case. Not only does he have a passion for practicing law, including every individual case he represents, he cares about his client as a person extending concern... and kindness throughout an otherwise grueling process. Given his respected reputation in the community, he is definitely someone you want on your side. He was available by phone/email and prompt to respond to my queries when I needed answers. Above all, he is a gentleman who genuinely takes pride in providing the best possible outcome for his clients. I not only found an excellent attorney, I found a great friend as well. I highly recommend him and his entire firm that clearly mimics his character. ~Client

Great Attorney

I have a prior record & was recently charged with 2nd degree assault. We researched several law firms & decided to retain Mr. Discavage. He is an exceptional attorney & kept my wife and I at ease until the court date. He explained our options & obtained a very favorable outcome for me. We definite...ly recommend him & you won't be disappointed.

Extremely Talented Attorney

From my first phone call with Mr. Discavage, it was clear that I had found the right representation for my case. His knowledge of the local legal system, as well as his general mannerisms, instantly put my mind at ease and calmed my fears. At every step, he was there to reassure me that he had my bes...t interests at heart, and therefore would guide me in making the best decision that would result in the most favorable outcome. He is a credit to his profession and I would recommend him to anyone seeking legal counsel. With great confidence, skill, knowledge, and reasoning, he successfully handled my case and I was given the best possible outcome...a dismissal! I can't thank Mr. Discavage enough for everything he did for me while he was handling my case.

Best experience I could hope for!!

John is amazing!! Let me jut start with that. He was very informative, answered and question I has politely and was very knowledgeable. He allowed me peace of mind when I couldn't stop stressing by always answering his phone and texting me at all hours when I was stressing out. He's a great lawyer, b...etter person, and now...a friend. I wouldn't go to or recommend ANYONE else. He's the real deal. Oh, did I mention he got my charges dropped :).

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.
