John M. Gioffredi

Now the real stuff, I hired John as my DUI attorney in March 2012, he was very quick to respond my call back and set up an appointment and discuss my options. After explaining John my financial situation and job loss due to an arrest, he agreed to work with me and broke down the fees based on service...s offered. He never gave me any unrealistic hope, always told me that the case could go either way and that he would do his best to get this dismissed. Unlike other lawyers that promise you something and do not obtain results. I always felt that he worked for me and had my best interest at all times. He is very professional and always there on time. He treated me with respect and empowered me with knowledge. His office staff, especially Trish, demonstrated high level of professionalism and were always available to answer any questions. They always kept me informed and told me exactly what the next step was. Although my case never went into and actual trial by jury, John was always there to talk to the judge about getting the case dismissed. And dismissed it got! John, you are a Rockstar and I would highly recommend you to anyone and everyone! Thank you!

I was arrested for a DWI in Dec. 2011. After bail, I went on the search for a lawyer who would want to take my case to trial. I knew I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I never set for trial. I wanted a lawyer who had experience, professionalism, and the tenacity of a bull! I met with 2 lawyers...: 1st lawyer was recommended to me by a friend who had her DWI dismissed with him. I didn't get a great impression with him. His office was a little corner space and he just seemed adamant about payment after 1 appointment and few email exchanges with him. 2nd lawyer is a family lawyer my parents have used for miscellaneous things. He had a nice private office but I didn't get the sense that he took cases to trial that often. He seemed to lean more towards a plea bargain than trial even though he said my chances are about 50/50 with my dash video. I didn't understand this because if my chances are 50/50, why keep talking to me about a plea bargain when to me, those are fair chances? So, I met John after I found him on Google and looked at his website. Impressive website and reviews, I was intrigued. I called to set up the next consultation available. When I walked in, I noticed he had a lot of office staff and everyone was hard at work. You can tell they get a lot of business. At the appointment, John asked me a lot of questions about my case, what I'm expecting, what I want to do, etc. I told him I feel like I may lose but I wanted to take my chances with a trial with jury. After reviewing my tape, he didn't think I had good chances of winning (33%) but he'll take it to trial because you never know what may happen if you set for trial. So I hired him. Him and his office went right to work. They kept me updated with letters and was always available by phone. You have to keep in mind that although they are working on your case, you are not their sole client. They will not call you to update you about every step regarding your process. Yes, I had a lot of questions and was worried that I'd be lost amongst their clients but I really took it upon myself to let them do their jobs and wait for them to notify me with any updates. I trusted my lawyer and believed he had all the qualities I was looking for. He is extremely busy but when it's YOUR day in court, John is there for YOU. Fast forward to Jan 2013, my case is finally set for trial. The trial took 2 days. John was extremely impressive all 2 days but I was the most impressed by his jury selection skills. He is intuitive and knows how to read people. We didn't get the jury we wanted but he did a great job at using his allotted time to convey the responsibility of the jury to make the right decision if there's "reasonable doubt." He really weeded out some bad ones! John definitely has a way with words and his confidence in the courtroom was greatly appreciated since I was just a nervous wreck inside. Also, during the two days, we'd walk around the courthouse since he had other cases that day and he'd run into other lawyers and colleagues. John seems very popular with other lawyers and a lot of lawyers expressed to me that I got a good one. Other lawyers are admiring MY lawyer. The reviews you see on this website by other attorneys are not fake! He really is a lawyer's lawyer. Anyways, after a second viewing of my tape, the jury found me NOT guilty 6-0 within 5 mins of deliberating! We were both surprised because we were waiting for bad news! The jury was hard to read! There's a part of me that feels like I got lucky but I have to say that it was all John's doing. I can't thank him enough! THANK YOU JOHN!!!... Now, just an expungement to do and this will all have been just a memory. **Disclaimer: I didn't include my arrest story because I don't think my story should have any effect on whether you choose John. Truth is, if you want to go to trial no matter what your chances are, go with a guy who has experience. FYI: John has 27 years.

I would almost guarantee that I was the biggest nightmare client ever considering not only am I a criminal defense attorney myself but also that I was falsely accused of a crime and had the highest expectations. I came to the right attorney with John Gioffredi. He used his 30+ years of experience t...o outwit, out class and out professional the prosecution and we obtained a not guilty verdict by jury decided by them in under one minute. I would highly recommend this lawyer to anyone who has a criminal case no matter how complex it may be.

Let me start by saying John Gioffredi is awesome! He took my case and had no doubt he could beat this case! I had doubts, my case was an unusual one, let's just say I got a DWI, but I was never in the car. When you love someone sometimes you do some crazy things. So I was in a bad situation and I... didn't know what to do. John came highly recommended to me from a friend of a friend, so I set up a free consultation. John was very professional, knowledgeable, friendly, courteous, trustworthy, fair and reliable as well as his whole staff. When I went over my story with John he was not judgmental, what he was, was very confident that he could win this case or even get it dismissed. He was 100% correct; he beat the case and got all charges dismissed. I will definitely recommend John to anyone who needs a lawyer, he is totally AWESOME. Dot :)

This was the third time I've been to trial, once for resisting arrest and two times for DWI. I was represented by John Gioffredi each time, and I was found not guilty on all three occasions. I consider myself fortunate to have had his expertise beside me in each of these occasions. I've dealt ...with other lawyers in the past, but I've never felt as at ease as with this one. I won't say that I didn't get nervous, I did. I seriously considered pleading guilty this time, just to get a smaller potential punishment. John coaxed me out of that thinking and tried to convince me, without making a decision for me, that the trial was my best bet. He was right. As I said previously, 3rd not guilty verdict. That's the thing, I trust his legal advice. I know he's an expert and I know he's got his client's best interest at heart. I don't mean to dumb this, or John's expertise, down with an analogy but there's a reason I've used John Gioffredi in all three trials.... it's like finding a good auto-mechanic, one you recognize does exceedingly well in their area of expertise and one you come to really trust. You know the good ones might cost a little bit more, but quality work deserves it. You could go to some shop down the road who advertises a cheaper price, but believing them when they tell you that you need xyz for your car is a crap-shoot... do they really have your best interest at heart? Will they really try to defend you? So you find a good one and you stick with 'em. Good luck to you with your legal situation. With John by your side your odds of a favorable outcome increase exponentially :) I will continue to use John Gioffredi for the foreseeable future, however, no offense to him or his staff... I just hope I don't need to :)
