John M. Gioffredi

I was dealing with a DWI 2nd out of Collin County. I was freaking out over even the thought of spending a day confined in Jail. Knowing that this was my DWI 2nd, and a big deal... I decided to handle this with a different approach than my first. If I would have known about John Gioffredi almost 10 ye...ars ago I am confident I would have never been looking at a DWI 2nd, because if I had utilized John's services I would have never been convicted of my 1st to start with. When interviewing attorney's I was considering... I would say to each and every one... I know you are very qualified and I feel confident in your abilities, but other than obviously yourself... who would you recommend? Almost ever single one recommended John Gioffredi. After meeting with John, I felt much more at ease... but at first consulation, I told John I was still going to continue & shop around. John was so kind to say, that I was more than welcome to come back even a 2nd or 3rd time to discuss my case until I felt comfortable about my decision. I did not feel rushed, he spent well over 2 hours with me my first visit and many more on multiple trips continuing discussions even before I retained him! I meet with another handful of attorney's that all were about the money, and not giving you a second of there time. You can tell 8 out of 10 just want your money and run... from a short shallow consultation to pleading your case as quickly as possible so they can move on to the next sucker. You get what you pay for and that goes for almost anything in life. Some people like a Cadillac but I'm sorry, I'll take the Rolls Royce. Best part about this... John worked out a payment plan that allowed me to finance the Rolls and forget about that Cadillac. I am not easy to deal with, I have extreme anxiety and always think the worst. I drove John up the wall with phone call after phone call and showing up at office. John stayed cool, calm and collective even though I drove the man crazy. He made me feel at ease, and just the way he carries himself in the court room... you are left feeling 100% confident. My Case: I retained John Gioffredi. I was pulled over for a DWI 2nd due to a 911 caller and being followed until intercepted by Police. I was asked what city I was in, I said a city about 20 miles off. I looked ok on video until I agreed to doing Field Sobriety Test. My first attorney 10 years ago never told me I could refuse, I was just aware that I could refuse Breath Specimen only. I refused Breath but did not do well on Field Sobriety Test. With the test on Video, 911 caller that stopped and made statement, and not knowing what city I was in... my case was not great. John set it for trail anyways and filed for motion to suppress. At the last minute prosecutor offered me 12 months probation, 5 days in Jail and usual classes. I did not like 5 days jail... John countered with 9 months probation, 3 days in jail the minimum allowed and 30 hours community service. Prosecution excepted counter and I received 9 months probation, 3 days in jail that turned into being only 4 hours... Yes! 30 hours community service, the classes and No Fine. 9 months probation and basically 4 hours in jail... with the bad facts of my case? This was a huge win for me and I thank John Gioffredi. This is less than half the punishment I received for my 1st DWI!!! 1/2 way through my probation, Probation tried to put me in Supportive Outpatient Treatment for 4.5 months because of a bogus evaluation. John got a 2nd evaluation, called for expert testimony and had a hearing to stop this non-sense. Hearing lasted about 10 minutes, and the condition probation tried to add was over ruled by Judge. As I was waiting in front of court house on John to finish with Clerk, Prosecutor walked by from hearing and said, "Your Attorney's A Rockstar". Prosecutor said it best... John Gioffredi is A ROCKSTAR !!!

Mr. John represented me for a DWI accusation and got the "NOT GUILTY" verdict out of it in straight 8 months. He was through in his case study. He never went over board and keeps the thing realistic and backed his statements by evidences and verdict clearly testify that he conveyed his message... effectively in the courtroom. Each and every single line he said backed by the evidence and that shows the commitment and acute observation of an experienced person. In these kind of cases you need to observe very much as anything can be useful whatever said by other people during trial. In order to be able to do this you need to smart, alert and experience and i can easily give john 5 out 5 for these qualities. I would highly recommend the services of Mr. John to all my friends in case of unfortunate DWI event. Last but not the least support staff in office was also very supportive and prompt in answering my queries throughout this difficult phase.

John Gioffredi is by far the BEST criminal attorney in the Dallas Fort Worth area and beyond! He is incredibly knowledgeable and savvy in all facets of criminal law/DUI. Not only is he on top of his "game", his office staff is always there for you 100% of the time - pre/post court appearances. I w...ould never ever call upon anyone else in a circumstance that could/will potentially affect your life forever! John is trustworthy, fair and reliable. He sincerely is the cream of the crop in criminal law! Thank you, John, for all that you’ve done for me (and my friends!)!!

John and his staff are excellent in every way. They helped me understand what was going on with my case from day 1. Even though I moved out of state during the middle of my case I was emailed everything I needed to know, which was a huge help. When I first met John he explained his methodology to me.... Fast forward 4 months to the day of my court case. While waiting in the lobby of the courthouse, multiple lawyers come up to him asking him about papers he published and what he thought about this case or that case. Inside the courtroom everyone knew who he was including the judge and it was apparent he had a good rapport with all of them. John didn't take my case and run with it, he explained to me all of my options, what his thoughts were and asked what my intentions were every step of the was. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney for this case and I ended up getting a not guilty undoubtedly thanks to him. If you are up in the air about picking an attorney, go talk to him and present your situation. As far as payment is concerned he was worth the money and his office is very good about payment plans. I would definitely recommend John to my closest family and friends and in fact have done so already.
