Trial was worth it.

The thought of going to a jury trial never crossed my mind for a simple DWI case. However, i'm glad I did. Mr. Gioffredi never pressured me to take it to trial. He said he thought it would be worth it, but understood if I didn't. Hes not out for money, he's out to win a case! I'm so glad I took my ca...se to trial as my video looked great. I had a hung jury of 5 (second day 1 was sick, but showed up, 3rd day 1 was in an accident) and was declared a mistrial. Thank goodness they gave me an obstruction deal. No conviction, insurance isn't going up. And I had an extremely entertaining trial. John will do push the limits where most men don't have the guts to. So glad I hired him, and will recommend him to any/everyone!

LOL. Well, I'm glad YOU were so entertained! You didn't mention anything about one of the DA's threatening to PUT ME IN JAIL for the way I represented you! That was a first for me, and the judge and I still laugh about it to this day! And I'm of course very pleased that we were finally able to avoid that DWI conviction for you! See, y'all? Going to trial opens up all sorts of opportunities!

Clinical & Thorough

I hired him for a DUI defense and John was terrific since day one. He was honest and forthcoming about the implications and my chances to get the charge knocked off. He didn't let his reputation get in way of my best interests. He was willing to go the extra mile and always came through on his promis...es. He worked extremely well to get me an amazing deal. The judge herself was quite impressed with the deal John was able get for me. I would have loved for his office to be more proactive in client communication. Nevertheless, I strongly recommend John and wish him all the good luck.

DWI 3rd

Couldn’t be more impressed with John and all of his hard work!! Went to John about a year ago for help with a 3rd dwi in Denton County (the worst County) with a not so easy judge. The offer we originally got from the DA was quite ridiculous and John suggested we take it to trial. John rocked the cour...t room and blew everyone who was against us out of the water...he didn’t have too much positive to go off of when it came to fighting for a not guilty verdict, but he still came up with an outstanding fight that had the jury stumped on whether they should say guilty or not! Unfortunately we still got a guilty verdict but in the end the punishment was still half of everything we were offered before! It was honestly the next best thing we could have gotten other than a not guilty. John was straight forward with us from the beginning about everything and what to expect, and we appreciated that as well. Couldn’t be happier with John, and will recommend him to anyone I may come across who is looking for a fantastic attorney. Thank you for everything you have done to help us John!!! Job WELL done!!!!

A "Not-so-easy-judge" is putting it mildly! The DA wanted to put Landry in the pen for several years, and I think the judge was more than ready to do so. Fortunately the jury gave him probation. I still think it should have been a not guilty verdict, but Denton County jurors are tough customers. Stay out of trouble, my friend!

DWI First Offense

DWI First Offense. I did terrible on the video. Refused the blood/breath test. Was pulled about 4 hours later with a warrant .201. To make matters worse I was in possession of a firearm. My case had no chance in trial. John somehow managed to get me a plea deal that included. Class B misdemea...nor. (No gun charge) 13 days house arrest, no fines, no court cost. 90 day license suspension. John was always very honest through the whole process. He also talked me into filing for a ALR hearing which we won. Trish was very helpful and always easy to get a hold of through the whole process. Thank you John and Trish for helping me through this nightmare.

Thank you for the kind review! Anytime you can cut a deal on a DWI case with no fine, no court costs, no jail time, and no probation on a DWI with a 0.201 blood test, that's a darned good deal! To get the gun charge dismissed as well was just a bonus! Take care of yourself! - JMG

Great Lawyer! Thank you.

I am new to this country and got involved in a DWI case. I did some research on the lawyers with avvo for DWI and zeroed on John. John spent more than an hour during my first interaction and I was convinced that he was the going to handle my case. He and his team, especially, Trish Sanders, kept m...e informed of the progress. On the trial day, he kept me honest on what my chances were. He started off with a 30% chance and once the jury was selected, he upped it to more than 50%. I got caught for DWI in May of 2017 and got myself cleared in February of 2018. He got me a 'Not Guilty' verdict and I can't thank him enough for his thoughtfulness and poking holes in the evidences that were produced. John is brilliant and I will, any day recommend him as a DWI attorney. Good luck John!

Thank you so much for the very kind review, Mr. K! I was very pleased that we got you that not guilty verdict! We caught a nice break when we were able to seat a better-than-average Collin county jury for your case. I wish it always worked that way! Best of luck to you always!
