Great attorney to work with!

I worked with John and his team starting in fall of 2017 through early summer of 2019. My case was a little challenging as there were four charges (including a DWI) across 2 counties. In Tarrant County, John approached negotiations in aggregate, resulting in 1 charge dismissed and the others settle...d for 12 months probation starting end of 2018. Note the court negotiations in Tarrant were managed by an affiliate attorney (not part of his firm). This was a little off-putting at first but I ultimately found her to be very competent and complimentary to John's approach. Another benefit was she knew the DA fairly well. Both she and John remained in close contact so there were no communication gaps. The Denton charge was negotiated down in severity and resulted in 12 month probation starting summer of 2019. John was the lead in this case and took his time to get to best outcome. We were ready to go to trial when I decided to accept the plea. I appreciated the guidance received which helped me make the decisions as to whether I take to court or continue the settlement negotiation. I'm happy with my decisions, but of course will always wonder what if we'd litigated? John and Trish were both helpful and very thorough throughout the process. I would definitely recommend John and his team to others, great to have on your side!

Do recommend Mr. Gioffredi

Gioffredi and Associates had help me for years not just with traffic infractions but with a dismissed DWI. His legal assistant, Trish Sanders was kind enough to keep me informed on future steps I can take. I defiantly recomen.

John knows the Dallas Courts & the Texas Law! He's a straight shooter!

From the very beginning John was upfront and honest about all the possible ways to handle my DWI 1st in Dallas County. He gave me both his professional opinion and personal opinion. He knows the Judges well and was running circles around all of the other DWI Attorney's in the Dallas County Criminal... Court House. John always made me feel comfortable and kept me focused on a positive outcome. From a serious charge I came out with a 29 day house arrest with no probation!

Miracles can happen

I was arrested and charged with DWI after an accident occurred (thankfully noone else was involved). My driver's license was confiscated but John won my case at the ALR hearing and was able to get my driving privileges reinstated. No suspended license! I failed 5 out 8 sobriety tests on tape. The e...vidence was mounting against me. It didn't look good. When John asked me if I wanted to take the case to trial, I asked if there was a chance to beat it and his response was "Yes. Albeit, low chance." My opinion is, if there's a chance, I need to take it. I told him let's do it. Months later, we received and accepted a plea bargain that reduced the charge to obstruction of a roadway and 12 months unsupervised probation. No interlock, no monthly check ins, no more DWI to worry about. This was one of the best possible outcomes for the situation. I first hired John in 1999 and he won my case then and now. I will continue to rely on his expertise should I ever need it. Thank you, John!

Best Possible Outcome!

This was my first misdemeanor DWI offense; didn’t look my best on video, refused blood/breath tests, and failed to utilize my right to silence in all instances. Despite all the evidence against me in my case, Mr. Gioffredi delivered on his promise and got me the best possible outcome. To start thi...ngs off, John won my ALR hearing, so I was able to keep my license from the time of arrest until trial - roughly 16 months. I decided to fight my case with a jury trial after John laid out all my options. The way he picked apart the prosecution was a form of art! Although I was found “guilty”, John managed to get me a last minute plea bargain for 9 days of house arrest with work release, and 180 day license suspension - no probation, no interlock device, no jail time, no fines, etc. Mr. Gioffredi is by far the most charismatic, knowledgeable, and passionate DWI attorney I have ever met; but more importantly, he demonstrated interest in me as a client by being honest and up-front about all possibilities during consultation, leading up to trial, and during trial. He is motivated by winning cases for his clients, not extorting their money! Additionally, John's office personnel (Trish and Courtney) made this highly stressful situation more bearable by proactively keeping me informed on progress. When I did have questions, I would get them answered on the first call, or email, within minutes. My family and I are forever grateful to Mr. Gioffredi! I don’t plan on getting anymore DWIs, but the next time I get pulled over for any other traffic violation, John Gioffredi is on speed-dial.
