HIGHLY RECOMMEND

I spoke to a couple of lawyers before I spoke to Mr. Liguori, both Lawyers told me that I was seeking jail time for my very rear case. when I called the office, I spoke to Maria she was very pleasant took my information and told me that she would pass it to Mr. Liguori, he called me the very next day..., he took the time to listen to my story explained to me what could happen and what he could do to help. I knew deep down I needed a very strong lawyer. I had a great feeling about him, So I immediately hired him. I was being charged with a D.U.I. 3rd offence, I wasn't driving I never got pulled over I went to the scene where my son got pulled over to help him, and that’s where I got arrested, and my son as well. The state wanted to take my license for 10 years and spend weekends in jail. not going to lie I was scared; my life was in my lawyers’ hands. after a couple of continuance, he was able to negotiate a lesser charge with the state. Mr. Liguori was able to help keep my license and not do any jail time. that was my two main things that I was very worried about, and Mr. Liguori was able to turn a bad situation into a GREAT situation. I was very pleased of the outcome and there are not enough words to Thank him. From start to finish I had a great experience even in the middle of things and I had to call or email Maria about anything she was always there to help and very quick on getting back with me. Thank you to both Mr. Liguori and to Maria for putting up with me :-) ya'll are the BEST!!!!

DO NOT GET THIS LAWYER

This lawyer basically overcharged me on a termination of probation. Took way too long on my case because he had trial cases. I called repeatedly to only get his secretary that never knew anything. When he did call back he lied and said he was trying to get it handled outside of court to buy himself t...ime. He had me running around at the last minute when I finally got a court date. He did not spend any time on my case and threw something together at the last minute. He put me in front of a judge that had to do with my conviction and I was denied termination. I was able to see my son before I went in but now have not been able to see him for 3 months because of the messed up paper work that he refuses to fix. My brother owed him 500 dollars and he called promising to fix it and get my probation officer changed. I called him after the 500 was paid and he told me that it didn't have anything to do with him that it was my other lawyer's responsibility. He basically just took 2500 of my money that only should have cost at the most 1500 with no effort in getting me off probation. I do not recommend this lawyer for anything, he only cares about his money and golfing

Replied last September 22, 2017

This client was originally charged with 40 counts of Possession of Child Pornography and Felony Drug Possession. After serving a prison sentence he was released on probation. He hired me seeking early termination and that was denied. I obtained permission for him to visit with his minor child, but he has not complied with conditions set by family court. I was hired on 6-3-15 and the hearing was held 60 days later on 8-3-15. The first available date. The fee balance was created because his brother issued a worthless check from his business. Unfortunately this client was a professional whiner. I have been a trial attorney practicing criminal law for 39 years. I have maintained an AV rating with Martindale-Hubbell for 19 consecutive years. It is outrageous that you would even consider hosting his review.
