This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

He did absolutely nothing

I feel compelled to share my outrage after dealing with this lawyer, as my experience was nothing short of a disaster. This is my first negative review, and it’s long overdue. This attorney is utterly incompetent and unprofessional, and it’s infuriating how he operates without any sense of responsibi...lity. From the very beginning, I expressed the complexity of my case and emphasized my need for strong representation as a newcomer to Michigan. Instead of providing the support I required, I was misled with false promises about reducing my OWI charge. What I got was a complete lack of effort and a shocking disregard for my situation. Throughout the entire process, communication was almost non-existent. I often found myself calling multiple times just to get a response. It felt like he was only interested in my money, showing no genuine concern for my case. At my arraignment, he showed up completely unprepared—wearing AirPods and distracted by a video call for another case! He didn’t even bring my files, which was embarrassing and infuriating. At the day of my sentencing, I pointed out certain errors made in the police report, and his reaction goes to show me that he never reviewed the police report, nor did he review any recordings from the body cam. I basically just paid this guy to take a guilty plea and let the court deal with me. I basically gave this guy free money, and he charged me $5,500 for this case Despite my best efforts to comply with all requirements—attending AA meetings, maintaining an alcohol tether, and passing drug tests—he failed to present any of this during sentencing. He didn’t advocate for me at all, leaving me feeling abandoned and betrayed. It was as if he didn’t even bother to fight for my future. His argument wasn’t strong at all, and it quite seemed like he was in cahoots with the court instead of fighting for me. In hindsight, I wish I had fired him and opted for a court-appointed lawyer instead. I likely would have received the same outcome without the exorbitant fees. This lawyer took my money and did absolutely nothing in return. If you value your case and want a lawyer who actually cares, do NOT hire this attorney. He lacks the skills, integrity, and professionalism necessary to represent clients effectively. I hope my review helps others avoid the same dreadful experience.

I’m truly sorry to hear that you feel this way about your experience. I take client concerns seriously and strive to provide every individual with dedicated and respectful representation. I understand how important it is to feel heard, supported, and vigorously advocated for during such challenging and personal legal matters. While I cannot discuss the specifics of any case in a public forum due to confidentiality rules and professional ethics, I do want to assure anyone reading this that my approach to every case is guided by preparation, communication, and integrity. I remain committed to helping clients navigate the legal process as effectively and compassionately as possible. If there are lingering concerns or unresolved questions, I invite this reviewer to contact my office directly. I’m always open to a respectful dialogue and to addressing issues in a constructive and professional manner.

"Never Give Up"

This family wanted the best defensive attorney, someone who had yeas of experience in law and litigation. We were able to obtain the services of Attorney J J Dallo. Cost? How much do you value your freedom? The charge was a 5 year/10K fine or both. Attorney Dallo worked through 5 court dates and... was able to craft a plea deal with the Ionia County Prosecution for a 6 month jail term and 1 .5K. The Dallo Team also collaborated with the Probation Department and their report fell in line with the plea deal. At sentencing, the judge in Ionia County added jail time aside from the plea deal and probation's agreement. The judge has the final say. J J Dallo's motto "Never Give Up" applies here and we will move forward under his wing to resolution.
