Excellent Attorney

I hired Frank Scarpino after I was accused of Driving Under The Influence of Alcohol. I had never been in trouble with the law and was absolutely terrified of the process. I consulted with a few attorney's and after meeting with Frank I knew he was the right choice! He was confident about my case and... very informative when it came to preparing me for court. Mr. Scarpino answered all of my questions and took every call. He saved my driving privileges (which was a main concern of mine as a working single mother) and ultimately had my D.U.I thrown out! I can't thank him enough! I highly recommend this attorney!

Nothing short of impressive

Frank was the epitome of what I would expect from an attorney. I hired him after being arrested for an unwarranted domestic battery charge. I listened to his advice and together we decided to take the charge all the way through to a jury trial. I was ultimately found NOT GUILTY and owe this all to Fr...ank. His years of experience are evident in his professionalism, patience, and knowledge of the legal system. Frank almost always answers the phone and if not, he is extremely prompt in returning messages. I hope I never need his services again, however, I will always consider him to be my attorney and more importantly a friend.

very blessed to have hired and got to know this man

Frank got me out of a class 4 felony case, possession of 43 Xanax bars. he knew what he had to do in order to help me get through what i was going through. he knew weather or not to take to trial or through negotiations and with him gathering all the information that he needed he got me a deal for 2 ...years probation, does not got on my record as felony charge, and no community service. im very blessed to have gotten to know this man.

Lazy and Late

Hired him for our son's disorderly conduct case. He charged us $5000 so we were thinking we were getting a top lawyer according to his sales pitch. Instead we get someone who never returns calls, never follows up, and gets irritated, snaps, and then hangs up when we voice our concerns on how he is un...reachable. There are plenty of lawyers out there. Avoid this one!

Replied last November 01, 2016

Mr. or Ms. Sanders, my sincere apologies for your unfortunate experience. I first would like to defend my practice by stating that I have never quoted a client $5,000 on a Disorderly Conduct case. Additionally, I do not recall having a client with the last name of "Sanders" that was quoted that amount, which leads me to question the validity of this negative review about my practice, I can assure you that if I did have a client that was not satisfied, I would do everything in my power to make it right. Please use facts to back up your review so that I can rectify any unresolved matters, should they exist.

There are honest lawyers! Ask him about his faith, he's an honest man.

Frank Scarpino is the most caring, passionate, knowledgeable attorney. I am so appreciative of his legal services. Mr. Scarpino did an excellent job with my case and he did this in a timely manner. This was my first time going through the criminal justice system and I felt I needed an attorney. I was... given Frank Scarpino's business card by a close family friend and told that "He is the best". I called Mr. Scarpino and set up a same day appointment. I hired Mr. Scarpino primarily because he told me that he was prepared to fight my case and win my case. That came true the day of trial when I was found not guilty. I can not thank Frank enough for his services!
