Strong communicator with integrity gets the best results

When searching for an attorney to help my nephew get his record cleared after spending nearly a year incarcerated and over 10 years as a registered felon, we used the AVVO website and Google to find attorneys with the highest ratings. We spent about a month searching and interviewing candidate attorn...eys, and in the end Mr. Coniglio came out at the top for my newphew's particular scenario. We just received the news that the motions that Mr. Coniglio and his team presented to the court were granted. He was extremely professional, efficient and cost effective and he operates with the utmost integrity. Additionally, as a retired software exec who has led numerous tech companies, I am very particular when it comes to detailed / technical writing, and I knew we were in good hands when I didn’t have even a single edit suggestion for the motions that Mr. Coniglio and team drafted (a rarity for me). I highly recommend John Coniglio and his team.

100% recommended

100% recommended if you want the best outcome for your case! I will be forever grateful to John and his team (Rebecca, Priscilla) for supporting me through my case for 4 long years. John is an exceptional attorney, and you can make out working with him that he is an expert in his field. He is patient... with you and is compassionate. He left no stone unturned to get the best outcome for my case which was a dismissal given my multiple collateral consequences. I am so glad I made the decision to go with him 4 years ago. He was always on top of things and kept me updated on my case proceedings. Communication was never an issue. He was always present in person at every hearing which made a big difference. You come across so many lawyers who after taking the fee become indifferent to you but that's not what you will get working with John. With John you will get exactly the support that you need even if it goes on for 4 years due to pandemic or other unforeseen reasons. John goes above and beyond for his clients, and you want a person like him by your side while dealing with difficult situations. I wish you the best John and thank you again for everything.

Hire John if you want to WIN.

John is an outstanding attorney. He listens intently, and comes up with a sound strategy to defend you. And methodically executes on it. Hire him, and wholeheartedly listen to his recommendations and follow through what he asks for, and you will get justice on your side. I was in an unfortunate situa...tion, and was arrested for DUI needlessly. John was thorough in his work, prepared a case and fought for over 8 months to get my case dismissed 10 months from the incident. He is calm, collected, and has the vision for evolving the case in a methodical way, which is a surefire way to win if you are in the right. John is also a great human being - I have come to know him through these months and truly enjoyed working with him. He deeply understands the laws, the Monterey county system, law enforcement officials, judges and the district attorney well. He is also well respected by everyone as I have come to witness.

Great DUI Attorney - Highly Recommend

I contacted John after my DUI which carried additional charges stemming from the incident along with a refusal. He immediately helped calm me down and walked through an approach for my case. He helped me through every step of the process with both the court and the DMV which ultimately took over a ye...ar to resolve. He clearly communicated a strategy, what was happening, and set clear expectations for each step of the process. John was always willing to make himself available and patiently answered all my questions which really helped alleviate a lot of the stress and anxiety the whole ordeal was causing for me. He fought hard for my case and secured a very favorable court settlement and got my refusal overturned.
