Determined confidently

I had a problem in 2017charged with A criminal felony, it seamed devastating. I called multiple attorneys with the same gloom and doom advice. Fortunately I spoke with Al at his office after hours. He listened to me. He explained that if it were his case what all needs to be done. Motions, separation...s, suppressions exc. During that consultation I knew he was good. I hired him the following week. He quoted me a price that was 3 or 4 k less than other places. So I asked him what the extra fees would be. He said that is for the duration of your trial. He worked my case driving to all the calendar calls bond hearings calls to the DA for 6 years. He never asked for a dime. If I had a question or concern I’d send a text or email he would get right back to me. We won our case on 3/27/23. Great attorney

A Genuine Lawyer

Al Fargione is a genuine, knowledgeable, accessible, and professional attorney. I was referred to Al through a friend with high recommendations dealing with cases for sexual assault, for my case of being accused of rape. He was easy to communicate with and helpful in answering all my questions even b...efore we set a time for an initial consultation. I did reach out to several other lawyers in the Athens area; however, I found Al to be the most courteous and caring. Al does not make any promises of what the outcomes of your case will be; however, through his many years of experience, he will tell you the honest truth of what is most likely to happen. Al was confident in my case, and I could not be happier with the result. He is patient in explaining the legal system process. He walked me through the steps of what I should expect and went above and beyond to make sure I was OK though this whole ordeal for which I could not be more grateful. He called me as soon as there were any changes and was always there for me whenever I had questions. In addition, he also communicated the whole process to my family to ease their concerns and update them on the changes. Mr. Fargione is a genuinely caring person and an excellent attorney. I would highly recommend Al to anyone.

Rape Charges Dismissed

I hired Mr. Fargione to represent me when I was charged with, amongst many other felonies, rape. The local paper and news stations had already determined that I was guilty. Mr. Fargione never stopped believing in me and my innocence. After 21 months, all charges were dismissed. As a 19 year old young... man, I owe my life and future to Mr. Fargione.

Simply the best.

After having been arrested,and facing a total of eighteen months of possible incarceration,as well as significant fines,in addition to probation costs. Mr. Fargione was was able reach a plea agreement, resulting in one years probation, no fines,as well as a waiving of probation fees. I would recommen...d Mr.Fargione whole heartedly,if you ever find yourself in need of the services,of both a compassionate,as well as a tenacious and brilliant young criminal defense lawyer,from DUI to homicide,he's simply the best.
