Juliet Rene Piccone

After several months of allowing my ex to occasionally watch my pup Harley while travelling, he suddenly decided to not give him back. This quickly escalated into a legal matter after learning the police were prevented from getting Harley back due to my ex registering himself as a secondary owner und...er the AKC. Even though every vet record, a bill of sale, microchip registration and more was only in my name, proof of ownership via a court order was required. I began seeking legal advice only to realize that my ex had solicited numerous free consultations from animal custody lawyers which created a conflict in interest disallowing representation. In a panic, I hired the first lawyer who allowed a consultation: [redacted] with the [redacted]. This unfortunately was a huge mistake which cost me thousands and months without my pup. (Please see the full review under [redacted] as I truly hope [redacted] never has the ability deceive another client.) I then began my second review of animal law firms in Colorado this time doing my research. I came across Juliet whose profile stood out among the rest. I pre-paid and set up a time for a consultation asap. During our initial discussions, I could tell an extreme difference in the amount of knowledge Juliet possessed regarding animal law in comparison to [redacted] and the staff at the [redacted], a law firm priding themselves on being the best in this particular area. Once Juliet took over, she immediately got to work with re-drafting a motion which safe-guarded me from losing Harley forever and began to piece back together my case. I attempted to research and help to the best of my ability, but due to my emotional connection and lack of legal expertise, I never produced anything of content. However, it was during that research that I truly understood the extent of Juliet’s knowledge in this mostly unprecedented area of law in Colorado. Juliet’s display of competency only continued to grow as the defendant’s lawyer, [redacted], began to file motions and answers during and between court hearings. Not only did Juliet adequately represent the true ownership of Harley in the least time possible, but also effectively cited statutes which continuously disproved [redacted]’s statements. I was initially indifferent to [redacted], as I thought she was simply doing her job, until I started to receive motions and statements filed which completely contraindicated the prior. Ultimately, the untruthful nature of the opposing party, including falsified vet records, was pointed out by Juliet as a major determinant of lack of credibility of the defendant. In addition to her strategic techniques for hindering the defense’s unethical tactics from every angle, Juliet’s vast expertise in animal law finally proved successful, and I was able to get my Harley back after almost 4 months! Not only do I recommend Juliet to anyone needing services in any facet of animal law, but I also attest to her services being considerably superior to the competition.

Juliet and the Piccone Law firm are amazing. I worked with Juliet for about 6 months after my dog got into some trouble, and I never doubted my decision. She was incredibly knowledgeable about animal law specifically, and wonderful to work with. You can tell that Juliet truly cares about what she is ...doing, and she's fighting with you (not just collecting a check). Every time we were hit with a roadblock, she fought back with two more strategies. I went from being told my dog was going to be taken away from me (AKA euthanized) to getting to keep him and having all charges dropped. If you are in any type of scenario involving your animals and the law DO NOT HESITATE to hire her. Do not go into any situation by yourself; hire the expert. The court will not be honest with you, and it is dangerous to go in there without someone who knows what they are talking about... and actually cares about your situation. I never doubted my decision once.

Hello, My name is Frederick (Captain US Army Retired) and I hail from New Jersey. I would like to take this opportunity to humbly ask for your attention in order to share with you a remarkable story. Back in November of 2013, I was in what appeared to be an almost hopeless and helpless situation. ... The situation started when I had raised money for an interstate transport for a rescued bait dog (named Stallone). The transport eminated from the Maricopa Arizona kill shelter and was planned to terminate with the dog coming here to me in New Jersey. Stallone was to come here and be with me as my therapy dog. I suffer from PTSD from my military service and loving companionship of animals has helped me beyond words. Unfortunately, on the way back to New Jersey, the driver stopped by his home town of Aurora, Colorado for a pit stop. But the pit stop was in a town with a NO PIT BULL (BSL) ordinance. Long story short, Stallone was taken to a local dog park and fought with another dog. Fortunately, the other dog was not hurt badly. Stallone, due to the years of abuse he has endured, could not handle all that stimulus (from all those other dogs). Stallone was used as a bait dog, so understandably, when he saw and heard other dogs next to him, he was literally brought back to the horrific time in his life. As a veteran who also has PTSD, I know just a little about flashbacks and nightmares. One would think that consideration would be given to Stallone due to his traumatic past, resulting in a fine issued. Consequently, because Stallone was “the wrong Breed”, instead of any consideration being given, Stallone had a very possible death sentence issued instead. Stallone was immediately confiscated and taken into an animal shelter over 2,000 miles away from me –facing a VERY DIRE future. I was, theefore, extremely overwhelmed, not just emotionally but spiritually as well. I had no idea what my next course of action needed to be. Gratefully, I was referred to Ms. Juliet Piccone, and SHE DID have an idea. Actually, Ms. Piccone just did not have only an idea, Ms. Piccone HAD A GRAND STRATEGY. What then commenced was nothing short of amazing. First, she reached out to the other dog’s pet parents. She pleaded Stallone’s case and promised that any veterinary bills they would incur due to their dog’s injure would be covered. Second, Ms. Piccone helped formulate and then execute a public awareness campaign. This campaign was fought in the trenches, though both social media and old fashioned media (TV, Newspaper and Radio media). Thousands of people, including many fellow veterans, were reached and enlisted in the fight. The fight was not only for Stallone’s freedom but also for an nationwide educational awareness campaign on the NAZI-esque Breed Specific Laws and why they need to be repealed. The day of the actual appearance at the Aurora Colorado Municipal Court was executed like a fine order of battle. Because, in fact, we were battling for this horribly abused dog’s very life. There were supporters, I counted at least 70 people in tow, immediately before the hearing. Many people were carrying signs replete with words of support and adorned with Stallone’s pictures. Second, all local news media were alerted and many were present. Inside the court room, Ms. Piccone helped fill up the chamber with supporters. Ms. Piccone, due to her very sincere outreach, had a letter of support we then gave the judge. This letter was from the pet parents of the dog that was injured. It was beautifully worded and pleaded for Stallone’s life. It was replete with a recently taken photo (of them with their recovering dog). Pictures really do tell a thousand words, especially to a judge! The end result was that we won. It would have not been possible without Stallone's archangel, Juliet Piccone!
