Awesome job!

"I just want to thank Madison and the 'Maggio Law staff for everything they did for my car wreck case. Madison helped make sure I received everything as quickly as possible. She kept me informed the whole time and I would recommend 'Maggio Law to anyone who has been injured!"

Do NOT hire.

He has a distinct pattern of taking client's money and failing to respond...at all. I had this experience with him personally and had to fire him after 6 months. We are still working to roll back the outcome of his terrible counsel (when he actually answered).

Unethical and unresponsive

Mr. Maggio was unethical in getting information from me telling me he was my attorney and then using that information against me. He agreed to terms in court and never filed the motion causing me to lose holiday visitation with my children. That's illegal, but because he knew I could do nothing abo...ut it over the holidays, he didn't care. He also tried to blame it on my attorney, but they have tons of proof of all their phone calls and emails trying to contact him and went so far as to draft the order for him even though it was Maggio's job to do it. All he has to do was sign, but he couldn't be found. He is arrogant and talked down to me and the female attorney. When the male attorney arrived, he was suddenly willing to negotiate. Maybe he is too old or tired or too rich to care, but he does not care about his clients and he does not care about was is right. Find an attorney who owns a cell phone. This one doesn't apparently.
