Terrific Guy! Would recomend him to anyone!

I have contacted Mark on 2 separate occasions regarding legal concerns. While we fortunately didn't need to retain services at the time, he was knowledgeable, and gave amazing advice that was right on the money. If a situation ever arose that his services should be needed he is the first person we w...ould call and the first we'd recommend! Thanks again Mark!

Thank you Mark does not seem enough!

Mr. Giancola guided my relative through very difficult waters within our legal system. There was a very precarious situation which he assisted in multiple ways. Things worked out better than expected through his expertise and diligence. He has a commitment to excellence. I strongly recommend Mr.... Giancola.

Life Saver!

Mark is a GREAT Attorney who took time to explain in detail what we were up against, while at the same time displaying confidence, respect and concern! Mark stood by us, was honest and upfront! I am so thankful that I was referred to him, because the thought of having our lives put in the hands of a...nother makes me nauseous. I don't think anyone else could do what he did and because we had a heavy hitter we get to live again! The prices are fair and service is exemplary!

Thankful

I can not express enough how Mark took a very horrible situation, walked me through it, calmed my fears, and truly saved my life. He is caring and takes time to explain and answer fearful questions, even at goofy hours. I was considering suicide or running away. He is above excellent at what he do...es. I was sentenced yesterday. He worked hard to get me an awesome plea agreement. The judge even commented to me do you realize how hard your attorney worked to get you the sentence you got. I realize and I am so thankful he took my call at 7 am on a Saturday morning or I wouldn't be writing this. A more caring attorney you will not find along with knowledge and a special way in the courtroom.

Super Lawyer of Minnesota

If you are looking for expertise and professional advice or representation, look no further. The best way to explain Mark and his demeanor is he is like a fencer not a sword fighter. He pokes at prosecutors and there evidence and breaks it apart. With his experience and connections in the Justice sys...tem he has plenty of tools for your case. My advice is to take his advice step by step. He's a process lawyer, which means mark takes in how people react to different stipulations when it comes to trail. He has beat 2 cases for me. One which we brought to trail and was found not guilty. The other was dismissed out off state court system and was never formally charged. Mark also beat a case at Trail for a family member of mine. If you want a Pitbull Attorney thats starts with a poke and ends with a big bite to win your case Mark Giancola is your man.

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.

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.
