Mr. Gioffredi and Trish Sanders were incredibly patient and understanding as I tried to understand all of the options involved with a 2nd DWI charge. They explained what were the most viable ways of handling this in order to get through the process as quickly and efficiently as possible. I didn't want to take any risks so ended up with 17 months probation, a $500 fine, and year driver's license suspension. This was a great offer for a 2nd DWI, probation and the fines are often a lot higher. In addition, the suspension is automatic on a 2nd DWI so there isn't much that can be done about that. I appreciated being treated with kindness and understanding through the whole process. I can't thank them enough for guiding me through the whole legal process which is often extremely confusing and overwhelming.

I was offered 10 years in prison, John took the time to look over my case and all the evidence, after the DA saw we were ready for trial, because of the strong defense and unmatched knowledge John has to offer. the DA offered 3 years probation. If you really want to get the best deal John is your only option. I feel like an attorney of his caliber is worth more than he will charge you. Very fair prices!

I was charged with a class A misdemeanor (BAC over 0.15) DWI in Tarrant County in July because of a poor decision I made. I had a couple of consultations with 2 other lawyers before hiring John Gioffredi (Gio). One of them mentioned that he used to be a district judge, but I didn't care. Gio was straight to point, told me what he could potentially do for me and what to expect with the given circumstances of my case. He also shared a lot of great infomation on ignition interlock devices, probation, DWI classes, etc. John recommended I'd take a DWI class, a drug and alcohol evaluation, and complete a victim impact panel as I had to plea guilty. Thanks to his recommendations, my DWI charge/conviction was reduced from a class A misdemeanor to a class B misdemeanor, knocked off 3 month of my probation period, and reducing the time period required with the ANNOYING interlock device in my car. The best news is that I can be eligible to have my DWI conviction sealed from my criminal record a couple of years after completing my probation. Although, a dismissal would have been ideal, I greatly appreciate John for reducing my penalties. I also greatly appreciate him and his team (especially Trish Sanders) for helping me through tough times. I would recommend John and his team to anyone facing a DWI charge in the DFW area.

You know you have a great lawyer when you leave the courtroom and the judge says, "You have a great lawyer!" So let me begin. I was involved in DWI accident with a BAC .24 (yup I was completely blacked out). It was certainly a lesson learned. I knew that I needed to hire a great lawyer to get the best outcome. I saw the reviews on Google & Avvo and was well convinced that John Gioffredi was the lawyer to go with. Scheduling the consultation was quick and easy. Once the case is accepted just TRUST IN THE PROCESS. John Gioffredi & Associates work in silence. So don't expect to get updated on every step, just know they are taking care of it. John and I met once again about 2 months after my DWI to go over my case and videos. I decided to go with a Plea Bargain as I didn't want to take it to trial for my chances were low. I said to myself, I rather save the cost of that and just go through the consequences of probation and DWI fines. John also recommended me to complete some classes and take a substance abuse evaluation to increase the chances of me getting a great deal. Fast forward to my Court Day, I had the option of serving 15 days in jail or 15 month probation plus fines, and community service. However, John had not yet told the judge and D.A that I had taken the initiative to complete the tasks I was recommended to complete. The better deal was 9 days in jail. I immediately said," yes, let's do that. It's a no brainer." Didn't even hear what the deal for probation route was. In Dallas County 1 day in jail counts as 3 days. When I was arrested for my DWI I served the 3 days. The deal I received was GREAT! I had to do no jail time after court. I avoided the probation trap, along with probation fees, no interlock device, and ALSO the superfine of $6,000 was waived. I'm truly blessed and happy with the outcome I received. With repentance and prayer God will provide. And I know God used John Gioffredi so that this outcome could be possible!

What can I say about John Gioffredi and his staff? They are extremely knowledgeable, professional and above all they are dedicated to their clients. Having them as my team of legal professionals, they did everything within their power to represent me and provide me with all options available to resolve my case as well as advising me of the best direction to proceed with my case. I would highly recommend them to anyone and would certainly use them again in the future. I would like to personally thank them all for their hard work and dedication to my case. Kevin S

John is very knowledgeable and will listen to you and will give you his best. Please keep mind, any case is a process so trust the process. I got a better outcome than originally expected.

I had an experience where I drove after taking an ambien. I had just had major surgery and had been in the hospital, and my doctor gave me the medication to help get my sleep regulated again. I started sleep walking the first night, and the second night I walked out of my house and drove down the street. I had no alcohol or other drugs in my system, but I realized early on that wasn’t going to matter much. Gioffredi navigated my somewhat unusual case expertly. I honestly believe I would have a criminal record if it wasn’t for him. Scratch that...I KNOW I would. His office staff is also great. I wouldn’t say Gioffredi is a “hand holding” type, but he ALWAYS did an excellent job and was empathetic to my experience. I honestly can’t say enough about how good he is. He was suggested to me by a friend who’s case he also got dismissed, and we always talk about how much we genuinely like and respect him.

If you are looking for the DUI/DWI lawyer that will fight for you then John Gioffredi is the man to hire. Throughout the entire 18 month process of my case John and his team were there for questions and any concerns that I had. Keeping up with all hearings and motions to get all the evidence. I had interviewed 4 lawyers before hiring Mr. Gioffredi and I knew he was the right choice because I was told by others I would end up with nothing less than a Wet and Wreckless if not the DWI. After reading reviews of him always being honest and willing to take cases others wouldn’t I knew he was the one. He was able to get my case DISMISSED and keep my record clean. Trish kept saying to be patient and she was right, and Courtney will always keep you updated on your dates and if you are required to be there. John will find ways that others can’t to get you the best outcome. I can’t thank Mr. Gioffredi enough for his time and willingness to take my case, and winning this battle for me.

Could not ask for a better attorney to represent you in a DWI case. He's an excellent negotiator and litigator. He was able to get my case dismissed. I'm so appreciative!
