Top Notch and the best in San Bernardino!

Mike represented my brother who had a number of serious charges. Mike managed to reduce the charges to a misdemeanor. He is professional, has high integrity and was always available to my brother and family for questions. If he was unavailable he would have his team call with answers. Mike has a... vested interest in my brother's well being in the long term and not just during the case. He assisted in getting my brother admitted to rehab when the cased ended. His relationships and familiarity with the San Bernardino Court House proved to be extremely value added. My family researched and interviewed many attorneys while assisting my brother in choosing an attorney. We are confident that my brother made the right choice. Although Mike was excellent, this is a service I do not wish to go back for. However, we whole heartedly support and highly recommend Mike Scaffidi and his law offices. He is TOP NOTCH!

Great Experience for a Not so Great Situation

I would highly recommend Michael Scafiddi to anyone who needs a criminal lawyer. I found myself in a situation being charged with a misdemeanor. Prior to this charge only having a red light traffic ticket on my record I was scared of the whole legal process not knowing what to expect along with the a...dded pressure of possibly loosing my job, my career. I looked up several law offices and came across this website and called Michael’s office along with a couple others after reading the reviews. Michael’s office was by far the most helpful and seemed the most sincere when speaking with me over the phone. I was very nervous for my first meeting, again not knowing what to expect. It was at this first meeting that I knew I was in good hands. Upon entering the office everyone I came into contact with was very friendly and helpful. My first meeting was with Scot Neurdoff who took the time to listen to me and was straight forward with how the whole process was going to work and honest with the possible outcomes, giving me piece of mind of what was to come. Michael and his amazing team got my misdemeanor down to an infraction that can be expunged after 1 year. During the whole process I received updated calls and emails keeping me informed of what was going on as I choose not to attend any of the court appearances. I am truly grateful for what Michael and his team did for me and for fighting for a fair charge for the crime that was committed allowing me to continue the life I was leading before my arrest. If you find yourself in a situation needing a criminal defense lawyer I highly recommend you contact Michael Scafiddi’s office for your needs, you will not be disappointed.

Great Lawyer and Great Office Staff

Michael Scafiddi and his staff not only handled my Criminal Defense but also followed up with my recent motions for early termination of probation, reduction of crime from felony to misdemeanor and expungement of record. Michael Scafiddi and his office helped me receive a plea bargain that was extre...mely fair. The original charge would have placed a felony on my record for life, but his office was able to plea to a different charge that has allowed me to petition for expungement just three years later. Michael Scafiddi and his staff, especially Scot Neurdoff, put together great motions for expungement. So much so, that the Judge even commented on how well written and how organized the motions were. By the end of the court appearance, even the District Attorney was on board and agreed with the recommendation for expungement and early termination of probation. Unfortunately for me, my crimes were very severe and the Judge did not think three years was just. He opted to continue my probation and felony but thanks to the hard work of Michael Scafiddi and his staff, the Judge gave me a return date that was very fair and will allow me to expunge my record and allow me to restart my life. This was a very difficult case to defend and is proving even harder to expunge because of the seriousness of the charges. Michael Scafiddi has been extremely professional and accomodating. As in most cases, this has been very stressful both emotionally and financially and Michael Scafiddi and his staff did everything they could to reduce these stresses and put me at ease. Even when my case was moved to another county which caused his staff to have to travel, they did not miss a beat. They jumped through hoops to accomodate the courts in the other county. They went far above and beyond what any other firm would have gone through. I would highly recommend him and his staff for anybody looking for a professional, respectful and knowledgeable Lawyer. I cannot thank him or his staff enough for the way they have treated both myself and my mother in this case. They were so helpful in keeping my mother calm and giving her a place to ask questions even during the time while I was incarcerated. Sincerely, A Very Satisfied Client

Went Above and Beyond what was expected.

The Law Offices of Micheal A Scafiddi, Inc. was referred to me by a friend of mine who had used there services prior to my offence. In both of my cases they have handled, they have done a wonderful job. They really worked hard at studying case law and how it pertained to my specific violation. Ric...son C. Dakanay as well as Scot Neudorff, were the two individuals that worked closely with my case and were very polite and provided all the information i could have ever needed. I cant explain in words how happy i am with there services and would refer them to anyone who needs professional help. The best law firm in the Inland Empire if not further in my oppinion

HIghly Recommended

I hired Michael in 2009 for a Criminal Case. It was one of those in the wrong place at the wrong time cases and not associating with the right group of people. He took the time to hear me out and to learn every aspect of my case so he could properly defend me and worked diligently to get me what I ...wanted. I was a full time employee and a full time student at the time and this results of this case would have a major affect on both of those aspects of my life. While my case was dragged out Michael stood with me every step of the way fighting for me he never backed down. It was because of him I was able to continue on my career path. He believed in me and my capabilities and stood his ground and now I can hold my head up and complete my goals in life. If I had to do it all over I would not hesitate to choose Michael. I recommend others do the same.
