I have used him a couple of times and highly recommend his office

Law firm handled everything for a ticket for driving on a suspended license, and was able to get the charge reduced. His office is efficient and made the whole process easy.

Mr Gioffredi

Mr. Gioffredi was very straight forward and worked with me on my payments. Made me understand what I was facing. I am very happy with the outcome of my case!!

Great lawyer would highly recommend

I hired Mr. Gioffredi in Feb. of this year for my 2nd DWI. (would have been 2nd) He was able to get it dropped. I am so thankful. A friend of mine talked to her lawyer-friend. This lawyer referred John and said that if it was his second offense then he would go with the best. John is very comfo...rtable and confident. Hopefully I will never need to hire an attorney again but if I do, it would be John Giofreddi!!

Great lawyer when it comes to speeding tickets

My friend recommended him to me after he got bailed out of a couple of speeding tickets. I was clocked going 102 mph on a 60 mph speed limit zone. I was pretty lucky I didn't get thrown in jail. All it took was a couple of court appearances and my case was dismissed.

too busy for tickets

took my retainer to handle some tickets for me and knew from the begining the tickets were issued by a constable and he has done this for long enough that he knew that because a constable issued the citations they were locked in .. no getting out of them the only way to handle these citations was ...to pay the fine and let them go on my driving record he could have told me that from the very jump and saved me the retainer fee he took and did absolutely nothing for. except tell me the amount of the fines about three months after the fact

I don't know this person, and I don't understand what her complaint is, but she's obviously unhappy. She's also obviously wrong about several things. 1) There's simply no such thing as fines or citations being "locked in." I have no idea where she got that idea. We can always fight the allegations by a contested trial if the person wants to pay us additional money to do so. That doesn't necessarily mean that we are going to win the trial, or that it makes the best financial sense to have a trial, but the trial option is always available for the client if they tell us that they want a trial. 2) Unless there was something unusual about the citation (i.e. - 120 mph in a school zone), under current procedures we can pretty much ALWAYS keep the citation off of the client's driving record - provided that they pay a probation fee on time and otherwise follow our instructions. I suspect that this person either didn't pay on time or didn't follow our instructions otherwise. 3) Specifically, under current procedures available to us, we can almost always keep a ticket issued by a Dallas CONSTABLE off a defendant's driving record by appealing the case and getting the defendant deferred adjudication at the county court. This procedure has been available for so long and is so successful in achieving an eventual dismissal that we always choose this procedure - unless the client affirmatively states that they want a contested trial instead, and then pays us to do the trial. If the client is upset that paying a probation fee is the ONLY guaranteed way to keep a Dallas constable - issued citation off of her driving record, we have no control over that, other than to simply explain that to her up front. And we always provide people this information, orally and in writing, before they hire us. It's in our contract. We always tell our clients what to expect when they hire us. I've never taken money from a client if I knew I couldn't help, and I've never taken money from a client and then "done nothing." If this unhappy client, or anyone else believes otherwise, I encourage them to call my office any day, any time, and ask any person on my staff what we can do with a ticket issued by a Dallas county constable. The telephone number is 214-739-4515. No matter when you call, or how many times you call, or who you talk to, you will always get the same truthful answer - every time. Perhaps this person wanted or expected her citations to be dismissed outright. Sometimes we are able to do that, if there is a legal deficiency in the complaint, but most times that doesn't happen, and we tell people all of that up front. We can only follow the legal procedures which are available at any given time. We have no magic wand to simply make tickets mysteriously disappear. Believe me, I wish it were otherwise. If anyone can provide me with such a magic wand, notwithstanding my own doubts about the existence of such wands, I will waive it around so we can all see what happens.
