"Decio is the best! CASE DISMISSED!! Not to knock my Public Defender, but she had already written me off after a 90 second conversation, and told me I should plead guilty to a deal without asking more than 3 questions. I almost just accepted this, but knew I wasn't guilty and decided not to be a victim of the system built to protect me. I first called Decio to ask his opinion on my case, and I immediately felt he was invested in finding out the full details and did not jump to any conclusions. After our brief 10 minute phone discussion, he laid out a few ways he thought the case could go, but offered to meet in person the same day to provide a more in depth assessment. We met at his office, which is very warm and welcoming, and went to a private conference room where for about 30 mins he and I discussed the case, after which he told me how he thought he could best fight the case for me, and that all hope was not lost as the Public Defender had made me feel at my initial hearing. His confidence in me and what I was telling him convinced me he was going to be not only my best chance at a fair outcome, but to deal with someone who looked at me as an individual, not just another case number to get through. Throughout the case, Decio personally reached out to me at least a dozen times to keep me up to speed, to ask for meetings, info, etc.... I never once had to go looking for him. When he explained something over the phone that I just wasn't sure or clear about, he always invited me to come meet at the office to work through things, always reassuring. The longer our relationship grew, the more I could feel him becoming personally attached to my outcome, and it really felt like I had someone on my team who wanted not only the best outcome for the case, but for my life moving forward in general. If you're on the fence about whether to hire a private attorney, I can't say enough good things about my experience with Decio, and am so very certain now making the call to him changed the path my life was headed. With the public defender, I'd be living the rest of my life with a conviction and the stigma and shame for something I wasn't guilty of. With Decio, NO CONVICTION, CASE DISMISSED! And also, just as important, I don't feel like a helpless civilian who can be railroaded into guilt, I know that if you have the right help, you can push back! Thank you again for everything Decio!"

"I had retained Decio, based on recommendations just like this one. It was the best decision i had made and Decio was worth every penny. I was dealing with a situation much bigger than the case itself, as i could not lose, or i would lose my career. Decio guided me through the entire process, eased my fears, however set real life expectations. Decio knows the law and the system and will manage your case from different perspectives. Most importantly Decio made me really feel that he cared and would do whatever it takes to fight for my rights and civil protections. He is highly responsive and always returns calls and emails within a few hours. My advice, be completely and 100% honest with him, as he is only as good as the information and honesty you give to him. You are paying him to develop a winning strategy, so tell him everything, regardless if you think it is irrelevant. And yes, Decio was able to get my case dismissed. Simply the best!"
