HONORABLE, INTELLIGENT, TRUSTWORTHY, REALLY CARES

One of the most intelligent Attorneys I have ever met. He will fight to the end for your case, and he is honest. Awesome DUI attorney, look no further, truly, he is the one for you. Then, when your case is complete and you have won, he never forgets you. It's like family with him, he truly cares ...about you, and you're always welcome to come back with any problem you may have legally. If he is not in that field, he has a very respected circle of peers that he will refer to you. Mr. Scafiddi is very respected amongst the Judges and his peers. He is not only a great attorney, he is an all around GOOD GUY. My son has traumatic brain injury and has made some "bad impulse" decisions. Mike has always been there for him. A person like my son, needs an awesome, well respected lawyer in his court to defend him, as my son cannot defend himself. Yet, do not think for one minute that Mike, as well, does not have a heart-to-heart with my son about his decisions. He truly is a great lawyer that DOES CARE!

Saved me during a life changing and traumatic experience

I wound up suspect in a federal investigation that tore my family apart. A lawyer of a family friend recommended Michael Scafiddi to us so we gave him a visit. My family and I were treated with respect and kindness the moment we walked through the door. Mike got straight to business when we walked in... and went through the warrant and all the info before making any comments, the first thing he really talked about was what we were facing in both the worst and best case scenarios. I was very impressed with how straight forward he was. When we talked alone he asked me to be very honest with him and tell him everything I had done with respect to the charges, he was very comforting and fatherly. I do not think I have ever been so comfortable with or trusted a stranger as much as that first meeting with him. The trust was not misplaced, Mike fought for me. He dogged the opposition for information and demanded total verification with the evidence. The case was rejected thanks to his constant battling even when I had all but given up on my future. Thanks so much to Michael Scafiddi and his whole team, you've saved my life.

Excellent lawyer who doesn't give up

I first met Mike in May 2011, when I was arrested and charged with a DUI and a Chemical Test Refusal. From day one Mike told me this would be a very difficult case but he accepted the challenge anyway. In court I had excellent representation everything went well considering the facts of my case. The ...DMV Hearing was the toughest challenge where I was looking at losing my driving privilege for one whole year. Mike personally appeared on my behalf at the DMV Hearing since July 2011 until he finally got me a win in February 2012. For seven months Mike never gave up, his experience in DUI cases and DMV Hearings proved to be invaluable. Thank you Mike and all of your staff. Your experience, hard work, and dedication payed off. I would have lost my career without a driver license. You literally saved my life and career. I can't thank you enough. I will always recommend you to anyone I come across with DUI charges. Keep up the good work and THANKS again.

Look no further, wonderful lawyer right here!

This is my first encounter with Mr. Scafiddi, I would recommend him on the highest level. He is very professional and on the ball. Did a wonderful job for my husband in court and kept me well informed the entire time. My husband was looking at a very serious offense and Mr. Scafiddi negotiated with t...he DA prior to going before the Judge. We were amazed to find out that the only thing we had to do was pay a small fine and have informal probation when we were predicting 3-5 years. I hope to not have to return to court for any future reason, but If I do...Mr. Scafiddi will with out a doubt be the attourney I call. I am very pleased!

Life Changing

I hired Mike facing a Second DUI with a .21 and a potential hit and run. Throughout the long and harrowing experience, Mike never gave up and treated my case just as he would any other "big" case he had. We fought the DMV and won, and we fought with the DA and had the charges reduced to a Wet and R...eckless. There is no other attorney I spoke with on either DUI, nor any that I've ever heard of that would have even attempted to fight a case like mine, let alone win. I cannot say enough positive things about Mike or his staff. He literally changed my life and that of my family.
