Dont hesitate, get the best

A bit over a year ago I was arrested for a DUI while visiting my parents in the Dallas area. I was envisioning having to return multiple times for court, and then dealing with two state's possible punishments if convicted, it looked like I was in for a nightmare. Luckily, a friend of mine recommend...ed Mr. Giofreddi and I can't be happier they did. He took the time to meet with me just before Thanksgiving and assured me they would handle the multiple proceedings leading up to trial. Then, the icing on the cake, when I did have to come back a year later the case was dismissed! I know not everyone's circumstance will end up like mine but I credit the knowledge and foresight of John Giofreddi in enabling this outcome. After a year of anxiety about the expenses and possible outcomes awaiting me it's like I won the lottery! If you're looking for a lawyer to handle your DUI don't mess around, just hire this guy.

DWI Dismissal granted

Thank you John. Although the court system dragged its feet for almost 2 years, I was granted a dismissal. John was helpful in explaining my options each time I went to court. I'm glad I took his advice and bared with the process. I would recomend him to any of my friends.

I felt so sorry for Tiffany! She must have come to court at least 8 times before her case got dismissed. And she really wanted it all to be over with much sooner than the 2 years that it took! This case illustrates what I tell all of my clients: Getting the BEST result is almost always more important than getting a FAST result. By being patient, Tiffany was eventually able to get her case dismissed, and later expunged.

Best of the best!

After of the most traumatic nights of my life, I was left with a horrible DWI situation. I was driving from Shops of Legacy in Plano to Knox/Henderson in Dallas. I wasn’t familiar with the area so I was following the map on my cell phone. After almost missing the Knox/Henderson exit, I tried to cu...t my car across but ended up not fully making the exit. I wrecked my car and called the cops, but quickly realized the cop was more focused on the two mambo taxi’s I had at dinner. I was arrested after not doing that great on the field sobriety test and later blew a .19 on the breath test. Going into my trial, I tried to prepare myself for the repercussions a DWI conviction would have on my nursing career and my future as a whole. This was a difficult case, but thankfully I had great defense attorneys on my side. John assisted my attorney Scott Palmer for my trial. I had full trust in Scott, and he assured me that John was the best of the best! Throughout the trial, I was blown away by John’s poise, extensive knowledge, and tenacious fire. Between Scott and John, they were able to point out many faults on the arresting officer, develop doubt about the liability of the breathalyzer, and emphasize all the discrepancies in the case as a whole. My case ended with a 100% unanimous jury and a “not-guilty” verdict. I cannot put into words how much respect and gratitude I have for Scott and John. They fought for my freedom and gave me back my future. It was a pleasure meeting John and getting to spend time with him as well! Scott was right…he truly is the best of the best!

Thank you for your kind review, and you are certainly most welcome! It was REALLY fun to win this case. A beautiful female always draws attention, and when you can win a difficult DWI case for one of them, people notice! Especially a case with a major accident, a high breath test, and a video tape of everything! This case was one of my highlights for 2015!

Do yourself a favor and call

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.

Jack is a terrific guy and I was thrilled to get his felony DWI reduced to a misdemeanor. He has a great job, and a felony conviction would have almost certainly gotten him fired. We got his felony reduced to a misdemeanor, and Jack still has his great job! With felony DWI cases, I believe that you fight and fight until you can get the prosecutor to offer you a misdemeanor DWI plea. The entire goal in most felony cases is just to avoid the dreaded felony conviction, which can have so many unpleasant consequences. With misdemeanor cases, you fight the case all of the way until you either win it, or lose it!

Best DWI lawyer

John was first recommended to me by a friend who's wife was a police officer. I was charged and with a DWI in Dallas and refused to blow during a no refusal weekend leaving a St. Patrick's Day Parade. After failing the field sobriety tests, looking awful on the video, my blood results came back in a...t nearly 3 times the legal limit. But I went with John's advice about at least taking it to trial and against all odds, my case got dismissed! It was amazing and would have never been able to do it without his help. Thank you so much for everything John!!!

Brian was stopped within 150 feet of the huge annual St. Patrick's Day festivities at Greenville Avenue and Goodwin in Dallas. As he was being handcuffed and led away by the officers, at least a dozen people started shouting "Don't blow! Don't blow!" It can clearly be heard on the video. Well, Brian didn't blow, but the officers got a warrant for his blood anyway, and it came back over 0.20 BAC. I told Brian that we didn't have much of a case (I think I gave him a 5% chance of winning), but let's go for it! Strange things can happen if you just set the case for trial and don't back down. Sure enough, his arresting officer ran into some legal troubles himself, and the DA decided to dismiss Brian's case rather than put the officer on the witness stand. In the end, we got lucky by being smart and aggressive. But it still counts as a win! Congratulations, Brian! Be well!
