“ Hire John if you want to WIN. John is an outstanding attorney. He listens intently, and comes up with a sound strategy to defend you. And methodically executes on it. Hire him, and wholeheartedly listen to his recommendations and follow through what he asks for, and you will get justice on your side. I was in an unfortunate situation, and was arrested for DUI needlessly. John was thorough in his work, prepared a case and fought for over 8 months to get my case dismissed 10 months from the incident. He is calm, collected, and has the vision for evolving the case in a methodical way, which is a surefire way to win if you are in the right. John is also a great human being - I have come to know him through these months and truly enjoyed working with him. He deeply understands the laws, the Monterey county system, law enforcement officials, judges and the district attorney well. He is also well respected by everyone as I have come to witness. ”Anonymous
“ John Coniglio took my case and immediately calmed my uncertainty. My case involved a felony wobbler arrest based on misunderstanding of California state law and I was extremely concerned. After talking with John, he immediately explained my situation and how it should be approached. His tireless efforts led to the case being first reduced to misdemeanor charge, then an infraction, and finally an outright dismissal. I would not be in the good place I am in now without his help. He is an excellent and caring lawyer and I would recommend him to anyone in need of criminal defense. ”Jaime T.
“ I am thrilled to write this review of John Coniglio and his team, given the superb "customer service" I received working with this law office. John is personable, solution-oriented, and a patient listener. I have friends and family who are attorneys and I would hands down encourage any firm to model their client experience to resemble Mr. Coniglio's. John was responsive, efficient and supportive. John has a firm, iron-clad (hard working) fist, covered in a caring kid-skin glove. You are in great hands with this attorney! ”Elizabeth S.
“ There are many fine attorneys in this area who may have equaled John's reputation but there are none who have ever exceeded it. He is a remarkably honest and competent man who continues to practice law in the spirit of justice while representing his clients' best interests. His reputation for working with the most unpredictable judges is legendary. If you or your loved one is facing criminal charges this is the man I suggest you call. ”Scott B.
“ After Jon Coniglio took my case the anxiety, fear, and uncertainty was immediately calmed. I had a DUI with injury. I never had experienced any sort of trouble with the law. I was petrified. He was able to get my felony charges dropped to a misdemeanor. I am so relieved and grateful. He is a very kind person and if I had a question he would immediately contact me back. I would recommend him to anybody. He is the best!! ”Melissa P.
“ Hiring John worked out much better than I had hoped for. I had a very unusual case that warranted John to file a case against the DMV (which we won), and he was able to help me get a win without me even appearing in court. ”Richard C.
“ John is an incredible attorney and is highly respected in the community. He was beyond helpful and generous with his time. Needless to say his recommendations and expert advice helped me win my case. Highly recommended! ”R.R.
