Mr. Schiavone: Best Criminal Attorney in Savannah

Mr. Schiavone has represented me and quite a few people I know. He is very professional and seems to "care" about his clients' outcome of the cases that he represents. He has what it takes to stand up to the DA. He is one of the top criminal attorneys in the area and if you are a local to Savannah...... you have heard his name. He knows the law and he has backbone.

"My favorite criminal defense lawyer in Savannah, Georgia. He's always been. Saw him on National news while I was in law school. He walked Miss Savannah out of her murder trial after the jury said: Not Guilty. But the best thing about him is he's so damn funny. And then on the stand for witnesses he's like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hide. You never see him coming. And when he does he hits hard. I endorse this lawyer."

"Michael Schiavone is the best in the business when it comes to criminal defense. For over 30 years he has been practicing law in Savannah Georgia and has made a name for himself as an aggressive, loyal, and fierce criminal defense attorney. Not only is he known locally as an expert in his field, but he has also been nationally recognized for his skill as a defense attorney. His wins are impressive and his integrity is unmatched. I highly recommend his services."

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.
