Hired Attorney Donald A. DiGioia

I hired Don DiGioia to represent me in a serious traffic accident case in which I was the defendant. He gave me expert counsel before and during my hearing and even made me laugh. He’s got a sharp sense of humor and intelligence. Thanks to his powers of persuasion, the prosecutor amended two serious charges to lesser ones. I would recommend Mr. DiGioia to anyone needing a compassionate, knowledgeable, and excellent criminal attorney. His secretary provides superlative support.

Hired Attorney Donald A. DiGioia

I was charged with five serious weapon charges which is a crime of the second degree, and Donald A. DiGioia defended me. I was not convicted of any of those charges and highly recommend Mr. DiGioia if you are in need of an attorney.

Hired Attorney Donald A. DiGioia

Hiring Mr.DiGioia was absolutely the best choice that I made. Donald's reputation truly proceeds him, he is extremely professional, wise, companionate, meticulous and understanding attorney. He always took his time in explaining every detail and strategy to my wife and I every step of the way in a very extremely tragic, sensitive heart and soul wrenching case to say to say the least. This wonderful man by the grace of God and his expertise "saved my life". Needless to say he will be my personal attorney for the rest of my life life, and I am proud to call him also my friend now.

I worked with several attorneys. He is the most professional and respectful lawyer. He helped me defend on 2015 case. In 2023, I called him for the case. He was able to return back with professional service within two days.

Hired Attorney Donald A. DiGioia

Don did a tremendous job of helping resolve my son's multiple traffic violations. He got the court to push the dates out a considerable amount of time while my family dealt with some personal issues, which Don was extremely understanding about. The resolution ended up having 3 tickets dismissed and 1 downgraded to a no point violation. Don expended an enormous amount of time and energy on this, and me and my family couldn't be happier with the outcome!

Hired Attorney Donald A. DiGioia

Don was very informative and upfront within our very first meeting. He was reassuring that he would be able to help and sent frequent correspondence both by email and telephone call as to where we were in the case when it was needed most. With every phone call he would preface by saying “nothing is wrong everything is fine”, and then proceeded to inform me of the updated status of the case What a professional - by his demeanor all the way down to the attorney letters and required forms he sent. He would not give in on certain issues and ultimately got vital information necessary for this matter. This man knows the law and it was a huge relief having him in my corner at all times.

Hired Attorney Donald A. DiGioia

Attorney Donald A. DiGioia is an EXTREMELY strategic and EXPERTLY SKILLED Attorney. He represented me in a extraordinarily complex case in which we prevailed. Unfortunately, the State would not take the necessary action, which prompted Attorney DiGioia to prepare a Notice of Motion to Enforce Litigant's Rights on my behalf, which obtained the relief sought. From start to finish, Attorney DiGioia managed my case with wisdom, the highest legal acumen and follow-up. He consistently exceeds my expectations. If you want top-notch legal representation, Attorney Donald A DiGioia is the man to do it! I trust his IMPECCABLE work ethics and attention to your matters will provide the best possible outcomes. He is indeed deserving of all the awards and accolades and MORE!

Hired Attorney Donald A. DiGioia

I've retained Mr. DiGioia two times in the last decade to represent me on different legal matters that I was facing. Being an Executive in the business world it is important that my record and reputation be protected at all costs and Don did just that. He fought tirelessly for me on both occasions until the desired outcomes were reached. He is thorough and knowledgeable, a true master of his craft. Quite honestly, I would not trust any other attorney to represent me in any legal matter and I strongly recommend Don to anyone looking for the highest level of legal representation.

Hired Attorney Donald A. DiGioia

I was facing a legal situation with dire consequences for my professional life. I felt hopeless, and incredibly stressed. Then I met Don. Don is well known, and respected in his field. His experience alone makes him a cut above all others. He has a complete, and thorough knowledge of the law. He knew exactly what to do, and when to do it. He is very compassionate, trustworthy, and always puts his client first before himself. Don’s staff, and associates are amazing people. There is always a reassuring voice answering the phone to assist you. E-mails are always answered in a timely manner. Despite the odds, Don won my case, and gave me my life back. My family, and I can now move on in peace.
