Best You Will Find!!!
This man worked magic. I was arrested for DWI, and had a blood alcohol of 0.156. I hired John Geoffredi to take my case to court, hoping he could convince a jury to give me a better sentence vs what state have given me -fine, probation, interlock on my car, etc... Due to THIS MANs WORK, after fighti...
Thank you so much for your kind review, Michele. We got the not guilty verdict at 4 pm on Friday, February 17th, 2017, in Denton County Criminal Court Number 4, and we were having a celebratory drink by 4:30 pm (it was Happy Hour!) This case illustrates what I say on my website: Every misdemeanor DWI should be fully contested with a trial! We didn't expect a not guilty verdict in Michele's case, but we knew she had a chance. I think that I told her that she had maybe a 10% chance. But she persevered, and we got the not guilty verdict. The jury was out forever (6 hours, 12 minutes, including a one hour lunch), but in the end, the result was a not guilty verdict and we are now working on expunging her records!

Awesome Attorney! Quick & Efficient
While I've had my share of shady attorney's & those who disappear after being paid... John Gioffredi was like a breathe of fresh air after so much bs. I never actually sat down with the man but one of his assistance, Leticia Rubio was so professional and attentive! Mr. Gioffredi worked both my traffi...
Thank you so much for your kind review, Rachel! I think maybe I'll start putting that on my business cards: "Rachel E. says I'm not shady!" I can't think of any higher praise from a past client! Take care of yourself! - JMG

Great attorney and great staff!!!
My son used John for a licence suspension hearing and was able to get probation for him. My son called and raved about how John helped him through the process and made him feel very comfortable. We also had help from Trish getting everything ready and keeping us informed of everything. If anyone ...
Thank you so much, Darlene! It was our pleasure to help!

Trial was worth it.
The thought of going to a jury trial never crossed my mind for a simple DWI case. However, i'm glad I did. Mr. Gioffredi never pressured me to take it to trial. He said he thought it would be worth it, but understood if I didn't. Hes not out for money, he's out to win a case! I'm so glad I took my ca...
LOL. Well, I'm glad YOU were so entertained! You didn't mention anything about one of the DA's threatening to PUT ME IN JAIL for the way I represented you! That was a first for me, and the judge and I still laugh about it to this day! And I'm of course very pleased that we were finally able to avoid that DWI conviction for you! See, y'all? Going to trial opens up all sorts of opportunities!

Clinical & Thorough
I hired him for a DUI defense and John was terrific since day one. He was honest and forthcoming about the implications and my chances to get the charge knocked off. He didn't let his reputation get in way of my best interests. He was willing to go the extra mile and always came through on his promis...
I very much appreciate your kind review and we'll work on being more proactive in our client communications! Take care of yourself! - JMG
"John is an exceptional attorney. His keen understanding of juries make him a formidable opponent and often results in exceptional verdicts for his clients. I endorse this lawyer."
"John has been a winning DWI trial attorney for a very long time. He's innovative and brilliant and those traits serve his clients extremely well. He shares his legal knowledge freely with members of the defense bar. Everybody knows him and everybody knows he brings everything when he tries a case. Plus, he's got some of the best stories of cases he's won despite extraordinarily unfavorable circumstances. We've got some great attorneys in town but none better than Gio!"
"I had the opportunity to observe John in court for a two-day jury trial for his client charged with DWI. This was going to be an uphill battle for him, but he was very professional (but firm) with witnesses, and was able to persuade the jury to find his client not guilty. He is highly knowledgeable about Texas law, and a very gifted attorney!"
"John and his associates are very knowledgeable, professional and affordable attorneys. I refer all my clients with traffic tickets to them."
"John is a terrific attorney and a leader in the community. He is passionate about his work and his clients. I'm proud he's a lawyer in the Dallas bar."
"John is a top DWI attorney in this area. He knows his stuff, is willing to fight any case no matter how difficult it appears, and is very personable with juries. I am glad to know John and do highly endorse him."
"I can enthusiastically endorse John Gioffredi for anyone needing a great DWI lawyer. He is one of the very best DWI lawyers I have ever seen in action. He has taught his proven techniques to the rest of the legal community for years to help us all become better lawyers. He is a must have for any legal seminar or DWI dream team. I doubt there is one lawyer who does not incorporate something they have learned from him in their jury selection or trial presentation. They might not even know they are doing so because so many people have passed on what they learned from John. Solid choice for your DWI lawyer."
