Thank you John!!

I had a bac more than double the legal limit, first offense so had no idea what to expect, a little over a year of constant worry. Today Mr. Gioffredi was able to make a deal with the DA that I couldn't have even dreamed of! Interlock Device GONE, Deffered Adjudication with unsupervised probation for... only 6 months! No paying to meet with a PO every month, no conviction! I am very pleased with my final result, I would highly recommend John if you ever get into a bind. Just understand the process is slow moving, try not to beat yourself up, with patience comes potentially something positive at the end, im just glad this is all behind me.

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...ant to take any risks so ended up with 17 months probation, a $500 fine, and year driver's license suspension. This was a great offer for a 2nd DWI, probation and the fines are often a lot higher. In addition, the suspension is automatic on a 2nd DWI so there isn't much that can be done about that. I appreciated being treated with kindness and understanding through the whole process. I can't thank them enough for guiding me through the whole legal process which is often extremely confusing and overwhelming.

Saved me years of my life!

I was offered 10 years in prison, John took the time to look over my case and all the evidence, after the DA saw we were ready for trial, because of the strong defense and unmatched knowledge John has to offer. the DA offered 3 years probation. If you really want to get the best deal John is your onl...y option. I feel like an attorney of his caliber is worth more than he will charge you. Very fair prices!

Thank you for your kind review, but I REALLY wish we had gone to trial on this case! I was pretty confident I could have gotten you a not guilty, but after hearing repeated offers of ten years in the state pen for several months on end, three years' probation had to be a big relief! I don't blame you at all for taking that deal, but I'll always believe that this was the "Not Guilty" fish that slipped off the hook at the last minute! Best wishes always, my friend! Someday I should write a book about your case! John Gioffredi ph. (214) 739-4515

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...ight to point, told me what he could potentially do for me and what to expect with the given circumstances of my case. He also shared a lot of great infomation on ignition interlock devices, probation, DWI classes, etc. John recommended I'd take a DWI class, a drug and alcohol evaluation, and complete a victim impact panel as I had to plea guilty. Thanks to his recommendations, my DWI charge/conviction was reduced from a class A misdemeanor to a class B misdemeanor, knocked off 3 month of my probation period, and reducing the time period required with the ANNOYING interlock device in my car. The best news is that I can be eligible to have my DWI conviction sealed from my criminal record a couple of years after completing my probation. Although, a dismissal would have been ideal, I greatly appreciate John for reducing my penalties. I also greatly appreciate him and his team (especially Trish Sanders) for helping me through tough times. I would recommend John and his team to anyone facing a DWI charge in the DFW area.

Hire John Gioffredi!

You know you have a great lawyer when you leave the courtroom and the judge says, "You have a great lawyer!" So let me begin. I was involved in DWI accident with a BAC .24 (yup I was completely blacked out). It was certainly a lesson learned. I knew that I needed to hire a great lawyer to get the bes...t outcome. I saw the reviews on Google & Avvo and was well convinced that John Gioffredi was the lawyer to go with. Scheduling the consultation was quick and easy. Once the case is accepted just TRUST IN THE PROCESS. John Gioffredi & Associates work in silence. So don't expect to get updated on every step, just know they are taking care of it. John and I met once again about 2 months after my DWI to go over my case and videos. I decided to go with a Plea Bargain as I didn't want to take it to trial for my chances were low. I said to myself, I rather save the cost of that and just go through the consequences of probation and DWI fines. John also recommended me to complete some classes and take a substance abuse evaluation to increase the chances of me getting a great deal. Fast forward to my Court Day, I had the option of serving 15 days in jail or 15 month probation plus fines, and community service. However, John had not yet told the judge and D.A that I had taken the initiative to complete the tasks I was recommended to complete. The better deal was 9 days in jail. I immediately said," yes, let's do that. It's a no brainer." Didn't even hear what the deal for probation route was. In Dallas County 1 day in jail counts as 3 days. When I was arrested for my DWI I served the 3 days. The deal I received was GREAT! I had to do no jail time after court. I avoided the probation trap, along with probation fees, no interlock device, and ALSO the superfine of $6,000 was waived. I'm truly blessed and happy with the outcome I received. With repentance and prayer God will provide. And I know God used John Gioffredi so that this outcome could be possible!

I thought "tIme served" on a DWI accident case with a 0.24 blood test and a passed out client was an exceptionally good deal! No probation, no (additional) jail time, and no interlock? Now THAT'S what I call a plea BARGAIN! Stay safe, Carlos! And thank you so much for your kind review! John Gioffredi ph. (214) 739-4515
