Review Joseph Lariscy

Great attorney!

Posted by BenMon Mar 31 2014

I used Mr. Lariscy for a DUI and could not have been more pleased with the services provided. Mr. Lariscy helped me through every step of the process, even with dealing with my probation officer after the fact. I highly recommend the Lariscy Law Firm to everyone.

Highly recommended!!

Mr. Lariscy handled my underage drinking charge and was professional and always kept me in the loop. He did an amazing job and I always felt like he was watching out for my best interest. I talked to several other attorneys who gave me a ranging fee and he stuck to his fee and never tried to charge me more.
