Reasonable attorney
I can’t thank [Attorney’s Name] and his team enough for all their help. They handled all my cases with professionalism, care, and dedication.

Talented, Very Capable DUI Defense Attorney - Highly Recommended
As an attorney of nearly two decades, it's pretty easy for me to tell when another attorney is not only capable, but actually talented in his/her/their field. John Gioffredi is a true expert defense attorney for DUI and DWI cases. He is smart, really capable, extremely knowledgeable, and (most impo...

2nd DWI Pled Guilty with Good Results
Mr. Gioffredi and Trish Sanders were incredibly patient and understanding as I tried to understand all of the options involved with a 2nd DWI charge. They explained what were the most viable ways of handling this in order to get through the process as quickly and efficiently as possible. I didn't w...

Thanks John!
I was charged with a class A misdemeanor (BAC over 0.15) DWI in Tarrant County in July because of a poor decision I made. I had a couple of consultations with 2 other lawyers before hiring John Gioffredi (Gio). One of them mentioned that he used to be a district judge, but I didn't care. Gio was stra...
"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."
