Megan was very personal and thorough in the process of clearing up a mistake in the DOJ records which were prohibiting me from possessing and owning a firearm Megan worked on my case for over a year and never let me feel like it was something we were not going to overcome she also never made me feel ...ashamed of the mistakes I made to end up with a record in the first place I hope I never need an attorney again but if I do i definitely know who I am call ingredients thank you megan

Posted by John F. Fults | March 06, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Awesom, knowledgeable, caring and very professional handling my case.

I was referred to the Scafiddi by my neighbor. Everyone involved in my case, and that included the entire office. I have Ben working with Megan for almost 2 years. Megan worked many hours and was very thorough with my case. She is knowledgeable and professional. Not only is Megan an excellent at...torney, she truly cares about her clients. My case was very complex and I was charged with 3 different felonies. I pick up 2 additional charges during my case. In the end, Megan got most of the charges dropped. The DA that was assigned to my case was very arrogant and refused to discuss any solution other than the max sentence. Megan stood her ground with the DA and the Judge. I would recommend Megan to anyone that has been charged with a crime. Megan will take the time, do the research and go above and beyond if you retain her. She will do everything she can to fight for you. Megan deserves a lot more than 5 stars.

Review of Scafiddi law offices

I hired Megan to represent me in dealing with some issues that happened when I was a minor. I gave her all of the information that I had regarding my previous record (which was not much) and she was able to dig it up and seal it for me. During the time that she was working with me she always kept in ...contact and was quick to answer any questions I had. After my juvinelle records were sealed she offered additional help as a continuation of her services, should the need arise. Overall she was able to accomplish what we had set forth to do and did so in a timely manner.

There's no one better

To put it simply, if I had to relive this awful experience over again, I'd choose Mike Scafiddi over anyone else in the same profession. Mike was sympathetic to the trials and tribulations that such an experience brings, and sincerely had my best interests in mind during every decision that was made ...regarding my case. Initially, I did not know where to turn and Mr. Scafiddi came highly recommended. I work in Law Enforcement and prior to contacting Mr. Scafiddi, I was distraught and felt as if everything I had worked for had been placed in jeopardy. During my first phone call with Mr. Scafiddi, he put me absolutely at ease. His explanation of what to expect and the strategy he would employ in my defense made it clear to me that Mr. Scafiddi was truly at the apex in his profession. During the entire process, Mr. Scafiddi remained dedicated to my defense. He was masterful at exposing issues that were flawed in my case and brought a level of expertise into every situation that clearly distinguishes him from anyone else. His background in Law Enforcement gave him insight during the litigation process that I believe was instrumental in the defense of my case. In the end, this has been a traumatic life changing situation that I would not wish on anyone. That being said, it would have been a lot worse had I not hired Mr. Scifiddi to represent me. I felt I had a genuine ally every step of the way and highly recommend his services to anyone who is embroiled in a similar situation.
