Best lawyer in area

My family have used Pignateli and his father before him for decades. Best reputation. Fights hard. Most knowledgable.

Handled dual work comp and PI cases

Heard gret things about this office/Mr Pignatelli. Has won cases against Chrysler, etc. and helped several friends who had injuries being denied. Worked hard on my case(s) as turned out there was a third party suit also with the work comp i was not aware of. Great communication. No BS. Didnt allow me to accept crummy initial settlement offered. Fought for great setlement for both. Very pleased. would highly recommend.

Lost their touch

Terrible Communication, dragging my case on forever, charging premium prices for a very “Wish” style service. Lacked accountability. When being questioned on progress of case and why it’s been at a stand still they dropped me. No warning. No phone call or discussions. Dropped. After I paid an insane amount of money and they did the bare minimum.. I would never recommend Pignatelli lawfirm again. They are not the lawfirm they were 10-20 years ago. A shame the name has torn itself apart.
