John M. Gioffredi

DWI Case Experience As soon as i walked in the office, and sat down and read the letters that people wrote about John, and the amazing job he did for them, i got a sense that i was making the right chooice. The staff that worked there, always made me feel i was being helped. Trish was very ver...y helpful, always kept me updated, so thank you also. John never made me feel less then a person for the accusation being made against me, which was a DWI. He told me what i needed to hear and was always honest. He never promised it would be easy case for him to handle, but he did one thing that stuck out . IF YOU TAKE IT TO COURT FOR TRIAL, YOU HAVE A 50% CHANCE OF BEING FOUND NOT GUILTY, TRIAL BY JURY, BUT IF YOU TAKE A PLEAD DEAL, YOU TAKE AWAY THAT 50%. So i tought to myself, do i take a plead deal and and convict myself for something i didnt do, or do i like the 50% chance odds. So we took it too trial. After 2 days of trial, and john amazing knowledge and experience, the jurys verdict brought me to tears, "NOT GUILTY" I had lost all hope before the trial, and was mentally stressed because of what a guilty verdict for a dwi would have for the rest of my life. My arrest was in March of 2015, and on october 2016, it was over. this dark cloud that was always hanging over me, was gone. John and his staff worked with me, and his payment plan meet my needs, because being a middle class working citizen is hard to try to fight a dwi. Will forever be greatful to you and the amazing staff you have. I will always recommend you to anyone. Sincerly, Jorge R

John Gioffredi & Associates is by far the best criminal defense team in Dallas/ Ft. Worth. I found myself, by no fault of my own, facing another DWI charge. I was in complete fear of the detriment I was facing. I knew that it was going to take the best lawyer to defend me and with what I was facing. ... I'd heard of John Gioffredi from a co-worker and a lady that I had met in my bond supervision class. After meeting with several lawyers, who I just was not sure about, it made sense to hire John to represent me. After my consolation I had no doubt that John was the right choice. He was honest, open and direct about my case throughout the entire process. Most importantly he didn't make me feel like another paycheck. His entire staff is professional, friendly and they actually care about you. I've met and worked with all of the other lawyers, one in particular called me on a regular basis just to check in to see how I was doing; And you will love Trish Sanders, John's Legal Assistant. She is extremely reliable and responsive. This was my 3rd DWI charge, which is a felony in case you weren't aware. It took me some time to really come to terms with that and actually understand what that meant. I have a great job, a pretty decent life, great family and friends. All of that was at stake with my idiotic decision to get behind the wheel and drive drunk, especially after this not being my first time. Nothing was more comforting to know that my lawyer had my back 100%. Which is what you need when you are going through any legal battle. TRUST ME!! John never sugar coated my situation and was always upfront and continued to fight to get me the best deal. And not just a deal but another opportunity or chance, that quite honestly I probably didn't deserve, given my history. I never doubted him because he did exactly what he said he would do and when it comes to attorneys actions speak volume. John worked effortlessly and got my charge dropped to a misdemeanor!!!! That was a WIN for me. I could not even imagine what life would have been like with a felony over my head for the rest of my life. By no means do I take him and his magic for granted. I had to change my habits and behaviors and educate myself on the dangers and affects of drinking in general. I had to learn how not to be a danger to society. John Gioffredi was very much my savior. I'll forever be grateful for all of the hard work he did for me. If you're in trouble, whether it be big or small, do yourself the best favor and have John Gioffredi represent you. The saying "you get what you pay for" is an understatement. Luckily they were very flexible with arrangements to pay him, but there was no dollar amount I could put on my freedom. You're a fool if don't hire him to represent you. I actually met two more people, randomly, that John was representing and had nothing but great things to say about his services. I hope and pray to God that I'm never in this situation again. But if I ever get so much as a traffic ticket or what have you I'll be hiring John and his team to help me out. If you're in trouble and are reading this I hope that it give you some comfort to pick up the phone and schedule a consultation with John Gioffredi. It's the best thing you will do for yourself.

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 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 !!!

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.
