Excellent lawyer he knew how to defend me and accelerated my case Good choice

Only God will bless you. Elegant great worker, calm know the job clear objective. JPD saves me you must work with him

I was faced with a criminal case and it was dismissed & sealed in under a year. Deverna communicated very well and represented me professionally in court.

John Paul Deverna leverages his substantial experience and credibility as both a former prosecutor (ADA) and defense attorney to craft the ideal strategy to win his cases. As a client, I learned how careful and patient a criminal defense attorney must be - not be over zealous and how to best deal with the court, the DA and the police. John made himself available by phone, text and email throughout the process and always gave comfort and assuredness that I would get the best possible outcome. This was a first arrest for me - something I never imagined would happen. The complainant, a woman that I met on only few occasions, made false charges. We learned that she was already involved with others - hostile postings on social media, death threats etc. The case was classified under DV (domestic violence). DV cases are now taken very seriously in most states, with mandatory arrests for any report filed regardless of evidence, making the case tougher since there is a reluctance on the part of the DA's office to dismiss any DV cases. Needless to say, the whole episode was harrowing - arrest, a day in jail, arraignment, court appearances and the looming threat (and anxiety), regardless of how remote, of a possible jail sentence. The witness was not credible, there was zero evidence and she had left the state but I still worried every day. Innocent people are falsely arrested and jailed routinely. John assured me that he doubted this would even go to trial and that PATIENCE would win the day and justice would prevail. It did: “In the interest of justice, the case is dismissed” was music to my ears on my last court appearance. John’s fee was very reasonable for a criminal case - a bureaucratic process that lasted nearly 3 months. We met several times at his office, had 3 court appearances and communicated often. John was never “too busy” to spend the time necessary to go over details of the case, return messages or answer the phone day or night.

John Paul was extremely professional, candid and up front about my case, the process and the inter workings of the NYS judicial system. I am happy to say we were successful in our efforts to have the case completely dismissed. I highly recommend John Paul as a private attorney.

I was being accused of committing a horrible action. Fixing serious repercussions. But when Mr John Paul DeVerna took my case, he assured me things would be alright. And they where. NOT GUILTY ON THE FALSE CHARGE. I have not felt that level of relief in a long time. Mr. DeVerna faced down the D.A. and we won. You won't find a better lawyer anywhere. If you are having legal troubles, give him a call and sleep easy that night.

Mr. DeVerna is an outstanding lawyer. I had a case back from 2012 that wasn’t resolved and now it is finally finished! Without the help of Mrz DeVerna, that would’ve been impossible. He helped to lower my DWI into a traffic infraction along with getting my other charges dismissed. Truly thankful for his hard work and care. Also, ALWAYS answers to text. I’ve had lawyers that were more so hard to get in contact with, but JP ALWAYS answers.
