Posted by Gwyneth | August 10, 2021 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

I would've paid any amount for my freedom, however, he's very reasonable

THIRD DUI in less than a year, yes you read that correctly, I needed help, I had many letters from attorneys offering their help, when I called some didn't answer, some couldn't help unless I retained them and so on, however, Mr. Colasessano not only answered all questions, he was also very honest i...n stating the obvious 3 DUI'S in less than a year not great, however, he had a plan. I followed everything that was requested to help in my defense. And after about a year and a half in and out of court, it was time. I was to receive my sentence. The judge looked over all programs, meetings, volunteer work I had completed, as requested by Mr. Colasessano. Mr. Colasessano spoke and added a few very professional yet kind words about my character, the judge asked what Mr. Colasessano's recommendation was along with what the prosecution wanted, they both agreed, I was to receive Public Intoxication with time served and 2 year probation, which I had almost completed. I couldn't believe this was the real outcome, this was unheard of, I broke down in tears because, it seemed unreal but because he was always involved every step of the way. He's an amazing, honest, fair, intelligent, he does not sugar coating the truth, but offers comfort because of his abilities that being said he will put his all into any clients case.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
