Getting the Job Done Right

Out of all the positive outcomes Mr. Moretti promised and achieved, one will always stand out and that is that he really does have the patience of a saint. This simple, yet often forgotten, virtue is of such importance that from the very first meeting either makes or breaks an attorney-client rela...tionship. Whether the case involves, in your mind, a petty offense, an awful criminal wrongdoing, or is just about money — the bond between an attorney and their client is an essential piece of the puzzle that may mean the difference between what you want or hope to achieve and what may become your worst nightmare. Hyperbole aside — that is what I believe sets Mr. Moretti apart from the many I had consulted with both before and after our consultation. From the idiocy we encountered, on an issue that truly should not have been so difficult to comprehend, we just could not dial Mr. Moretti’s phone number fast enough and meet to get the ball rolling because our choice was clear as day. Out of all of these apparent “professionals”, Mr. Moretti was the only one to actually listen to what we had to say, without paying attention to the fact that our frustration most likely overwhelmed the scene, and then took the time to discuss and plan our strategy moving forward. What’s more, Mr. Moretti was fully cooperative from the start and his presentation of his client in Court was one of the utmost respect and impartiality to both sides. Qualities that have long been lost on many practicing within the field. Finally, another attribute worth mentioning and being the difference between a "good" lawyer and a "great" one is that: when all is said and done, Mr. Moretti is the type of advocate that will remind you to stay humble. Why is that important? Because winning or losing in Court is significant enough to change a person’s perspective, and in doing so, both sides tend to forget about the fairness that is supposed to be achieved in the first place.

Hands down best Attorney to have on your side!!

I was facing some very serious charges which would have stalled my life for at least 15yrs, Emilio provided amazing support during this difficult time. Following a shaky start with another attorney, we reached out to Mr. Moretti and his determination to turn this case around and gain the knowledge an...d insight into an area where he had a limited perspective was most gratifying. Mr. Moretti literally saved my life and I will forever be in his debt, was very direct in his approach, conveying what I should expect, odds that were in our favor and what could go against us. He did everything humanly possible to give me back my freedom. The outcome of the case was all that we could have hoped for and has allowed me to move forward. My Family and I will always be grateful for the critical role he played in giving us back our lives. Thank you is not enough.

Excellent Lawyer for Speeding Ticket

Used Emilio for my traffic case which was considered a class A misdemeanor offense. Didn't realize how serious my case was until I found that the state changed the law on speeding for wreckless driving. I was referred to Emilio thru a mutual friend of mine. At court, Emilio consistently tried to ...lower my violation so that this will not go on my record. However, the secretary of state was hesitant in lowering my violation further than a class B misdemeanor due to a prior speeding violation within a year. I had to go to court 3 times where I had to pay him the same amount for each continuation but the money spent for the continuation was well worth it. In the end, Emilio got me a supervision which is what we wanted so that this ticket will not go in my record. I highly recommend Emilio for any speeding or traffic violation/tickets if you need a lawyer for your case.

Terrible experience

I hired Emilio based on his amazing reviews on this website but I had a terrible experience with him and I wouldn't recommend hiring him to anyone. I got into an accident and was charged with a DUI but there were other circumstances to the situation (medication that I was on that I had a bad reaction... to which led to me being charged with a DUI despite not actually being intoxicated) which didn't make defending me cut and dry. He made a lot of promises about my outcome to earn my business, but literally knew nothing about my case. And I mean after I hired him, he didn't even take the time to look at the police reports. When asked questions about the circumstances regarding my accident and arrest, he literally knew nothing. I had to talk to the officers myself to find out what happened because he was so unhelpful. I ended up pleading guilty to the DUI because I didn't trust that he could adequately represent me in trial because he showed his utter lack of effort made in my case up until that point. Anyways, I paid him several thousand dollars to represent me and he literally did nothing. Always late to court with some type of excuse. So I would advise anyone with a similar situation to hire someone else and don't waste your money on Emilio.

Replied last June 16, 2020

Although I am saddened that you feel that my representation was a terrible experience, I respectfully disagree with the allegations that you set forth here. They are not true. I take my law practice, and my reputation very seriously, and I hold myself to the highest standard. I strive and put forth every effort to always be of service to my clients by thoroughly preparing each case in order to obtain the best possible outcome. That is why I always review all the evidence of every case completely so that I can be knowledgeable and helpful in providing my client with the best advice and representation. Additionally, I never make promises or guarantees regarding a case outcome; that would be unethical. Also, if due to unforeseen circumstances I would be running late, I would always notify my client. I make no excuses. At this time, I welcome the opportunity to discuss your experience should you be so inclined. Thank you.
