It was a pleasure working with Molfetta Law , they were very informative about my case, followed through every detail and got the job done at a good reasonable time and easy to get in touch with them when I needed to ask a question. Great overall!
I hired Michael Molfetta after interviewing several lawyers for my son's case. They all tried to tell me Mr. Molfetta was quitting criminal defense...just not true. My son was facing life in prison and he is coming home very soon because I hired Mr. Molfetta. I told me exactly what was going to happen and what he would do, and then he did it. Worth every penny!
Mike is the absolute best, nothing but positive results on people I've referred and my personal case as well. He is extremely knowledgeable in the area of the law has great connections in the judicial system, you want to have this guy on your side when your in need of an attorney. Mike is not only my attorney, I'm very proud to say he is my friend. I love this guy
I have hired Michael as my attorney because he has a great reputation, everyone I have talked to have said he is a great attorney. I was charged 50+ counts of security fraud, my bail was $11 million, first he got it reduced down to $200k, I was facing 25+ years if convicted. Michael did an awesome job in trail; He was very passionate and has great knowledge of the laws. At the end, I was found not guilty to all counts. I am very grateful to him, I would most definitely recommend Michael to anyone without hesitation.
Michael Molfetta is the only attorney I would ever refer to an individual who is in need of criminal defense. I have seen Michael Molfetta get a family members three strike case of 25 to life reduced to an 8 year term. No one offered any hope and being that Mr. Arellano had six prior violent felonies spending time in Pelican Bay SHU and every other level four prison in California. Molfetta stepped up to the plate and turned it all around. Gave hope where there was literally no hope. Would I recommend Michael Molfetta? In a heartbeat. Great Defense Attorney
He represented me on a serious case many years ago. I am free and very happy because of Mr. Molfetta. Since then I know of several people who have retained him and all of them are extremely happy with him. He is straightforward and a great guy.
He is the best at what he does. Period. He took my friend's murder case to trial and hung it so significantly that instead of spending his life in prison he will be spending his life a free man. All you have to do is read the newspaper articles that have documented his numerous courtroom victories
I met Mr. Molfetta after I sat on one of his juries, he was absolutey amazing in trial. After the trial I referred him to a friend. He has respresented a friend of mine's son in a serious case and done an unbelievable job. All you have to do is read the newspaper to see that this guy gets the best results.
When facing very serious charges, Michael Mulfetta took my case with compassion. He worked very hard as I entrusted him with my future. He made sure I was informed and held my hand every step of the way through the unfamiliar (to me) arena that is our judicial system. We've all heard of the "Dump Truck" lawyers. This is NOT one of those. I truly felt he cared not only about the outcome of the case, but about me and my family as well. He is a good man.
he promised the world but once money was paid, he was impossible to get ahold od and never returns calls or e-mails, had to file a grievance with the bar association and they had hearing and I one and he had to return the money I paid him which than I had to hire another attorney to collect from him, now he won't return the case file which another grievance has been filed with the bar association and they are saying they will suspend him for not returning my case files for over 18 months, my new lawyer needs them badly, just a horrible experiance, he took a bad situation and made it so much worse, missed filings, constant extensions because he wasn't prepaired, did not show up to hearing in front of bar association arbutration panel but sent another lawyer but my mom who went to the hearing by herself won the case against him without a lawyer because it was so obvious he did not perform his duties as my lawyer and the panel of lawyers admonshid his attorney for the poor performance in this case
