When searching for an attorney to help my nephew get his record cleared after spending nearly a year incarcerated and over 10 years as a registered felon, we used the AVVO website and Google to find attorneys with the highest ratings. We spent about a month searching and interviewing candidate attorneys, and in the end Mr. Coniglio came out at the top for my newphew's particular scenario. We just received the news that the motions that Mr. Coniglio and his team presented to the court were granted. He was extremely professional, efficient and cost effective and he operates with the utmost integrity. Additionally, as a retired software exec who has led numerous tech companies, I am very particular when it comes to detailed / technical writing, and I knew we were in good hands when I didn't have even a single edit suggestion for the motions that Mr. Coniglio and team drafted (a rarity for me). I highly recommend John Coniglio and his team. read more

John Coniglio and his team are the best! Great customer service and always on top of it. Always keep you updated with your case and they have your back! They know what they are doing and will get the job done and dismiss the case! Easy to work with! read more

Kind , patient, and posses great integrity! I highly recommend John Coniglio for your law concerns. !

100% recommend! Mr. Cognilio is such an amazing attorney. He literally saved me from a situation that could have altered my life and career in the worst way. Not only did he do his job, and do it well, but he did it with so much respect, understanding and compassion when I was absolutely spiraling. His staff was always prompt, responsive and attentive. Words cannot express how much Mr. Cognilio's support means to me. From the moment I contacted the firm, my call was taken with clear and open reception. Of all of the attorneys I reached out to when seeking counsel, he was by far the most attentive. I didn't feel like I was "just a case", I felt like I had support and respect, in the midst of such chaos. That secure feeling continued throughout the entire legal process. If you find yourself in a bind, and want STRONG legal backing, contact this firm immediately. He will get the job done and do so with a personal touch. I hope to never need criminal legal defense again, but I would personally recommend John Cognilio to ALL of my family & friends in a heartbeat! read more

Mr. Coniglio is very skilled in his profession. He made sure I was taken care of by asking questions I could easily answer and thoroughly walking me through our process together. His firm was prompt with answering any questions I had. I am a highly satisfied customer and I recommend his services. read more

When it comes to DUI LAW, I turned to the best attorney I could find online. It helps when you have an experienced attorney who really will take the time to help you get your case across to the county court house. I was wrongfully convicted, but due to what I said on body cam, I was convicted of a dui. Not only did John reduce it to a wet and reckless, he went out of his way to continue to fight the fines that the CHP office continues to harass me about. If you're wrongfully convicted and you have no hope, you can trust, John will get it done for you. I wish it could of been completely off my record but after the huge fines and the fines the county is still trying to collect from me I just took the wet reckless and didn't pursue a chance at fighting this cause in court. Thank you, John. From the bottom of my heart. read more

I highly recommend John Coniglio. John was very supportive and helpful getting me through a very difficult situation. Thank you so much for all that you do. read more

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! read more

John is first class rated! Very professional. Responds promptly. He really takes your situation to heart. He is on your side working hard. John is dedicated to a positive result. John listens with compassion in a tight spot. He is just like family to us. Thank you .. read more

i have a medical malpractice, and my neurologist told me to persue my claim and, this office would not even lisen to the long saga of what i went thru, seem like all mm cases need to be as thorough , but no. would not use this firm. read more

I managed a corporation for 15 years and was in the military for 4 including a tour in Iraq. I've never met a more resilient lawyer than Mr. Coniglio. He solved my case and never gave up. If you need a great lawyer John is the person to contact first. He is trustworthy and really cares! read more

Thank you so much John for having my charges expunged. My family and I appreciate you and your team for helping and keeping us inform during this hard times. As a Army Retired E-7 to all my Fellow Military Veterans I highly recommend John and his team with any charges from guns to criminal. Thank You John. read more

100% recommended if you want the best outcome for your case! I will be forever grateful to John and his team (Rebecca, Priscilla) for supporting me through my case for 4 long years. John is an exceptional attorney, and you can make out working with him that he is an expert in his field. He is patient with you and is compassionate. He left no stone unturned to get the best outcome for my case which was a dismissal given my multiple collateral consequences. I am so glad I made the decision to go with him 4 years ago. He was always on top of things and kept me updated on my case proceedings. Communication was never an issue. He was always present in person at every hearing which made a big difference. You come across so many lawyers who after taking the fee become indifferent to you but that's not what you will get working with John. With John you will get exactly the support that you need even if it goes on for 4 years due to pandemic or other unforeseen reasons. John goes above and beyond for his clients, and you want a person like him by your side while dealing with difficult situations. I wish you the best John and thank you again for everything. read more

Mr. Coniglio assisted a friend of mine with a fairly serious charge. He was professional, prepared and clearly knew the case and the options for my friend to consider. Not only was he able to cut to the heart of the matter and keep the big picture in mind, he helped my friend way all the options so that he could make a proper decision. Watching Mr. Coniglio's manner and ability to negotiate on my friend;s behalf, it was clear to me that he knew the courts and was respected by his peers and colleagues. My friend was in excellent hands and received very good representation. I would recommend Mr. Coniglio to anyone who might be in trouble. He does a great job. Thank you. read more

John is top-notch at what he does, especially when a DUI case is looking all but hopeless. He can massage the situation into something better... and often makes it go away entirely. Perhaps more importantly I have several colleagues and family members whom are A-list lawyers (and I do mean nationally recognized) and they have nothing but praise for John. Call him, you won't regret it and he'll take control of what can be a nerve-racking time. read more

Used him about 3 years ago. [didn't know he was on YELP or I would have reviewed sooner] I was facing serious (in my opinion) problems. Concerned car accident. My insurance agent "advised" me to just roll over and take the consequences. I'd heard of the Coniglio law connection. First interview, He heard and understood the problem so quickly it was impressive. He seemed ultra-focused on the issue, but nothing judgmental in his approach. I could tell him anything. He got the best possible results for me. read more

John is a kind, smart, understanding and helpful professional. He not only listened to me fully about my case about a battery charge that was a complete misunderstanding, but also gave me practical and sincere insights of how the legal system works. Moreover he provided these services as a free consultation that no other lawyers have given. Thank you John and be success with you! read more

I was charged with a DUI and John came highly recommended. He helped me out a ton. He was always available to take my calls/texts promptly and is very professional. I complicated circumstances surrounding my case and John was great in communicating this tome and in handling the courtroom/judge/prosecutor. I highly recommend John. He is a good lawyer/person who went above and beyond to help me handle my case. read more

was uncommunicative through the process. made his own decision on case where due diligence was not performed. team was unresponsive. I would never recommend his services to anyone. read more

I would highly recommend John for anybody who needs an attorney. He is a go-getter, smart, on the cutting edge of his profession and has incredible out-of-the-box thinking. He was very helpful to me in my recent consultation and I definitely plan on retaining him. He went out of his way for me on a very busy day and I wasn't even his client yet. Thank you John! read more

John Coniglio was the best lawyer I have ever had. I had never really been in trouble before and the first thing he said was everything is going to be all right. Take a deep breath. He really cares about you and your case. Walks you through everything step by step. He is always available for questions and concerns. I couldn't believe the service and support. I couldn't thank him enough for his work on my case. He truly is a great lawyer. read more

Thanks to Mr Coniglio my goals were reached and the end result was what I wanted. Highly recommend , very professional.

John helped me through the legal process of two DUI's and he was EXCELLENT. He put my anxiety at ease and had his staff present at all my court appearances so I didn't have to go. He fought for the most favorable outcome possible. I would DEFINITELY recommend him for any legal need. read more

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. read more

My nervousness went away once I hired John. I felt like I was in good hands right from the get go. I was always updated in my case and my it was ultimately dismissed. I highly recommen him for anyone who needs a defense. He's got your back. read more

I got a DUI, last year and he was amazing. He made an extremely stressful situation a little more tollerable. He didn't take no for an answer when the ADA refused to lower the charges to a wet and reckless. He also was very accommodating when it came to court appearances. I have a 2 year old daughter and childcare was an issue, he made it so I never had to appear in court. He also only charged a flat fee instead of by the hour, which in my case would have been significantly more expensive. I highly recommend him to anyone that is looking for a trustworthy and dependable lawyer. read more

John is the best! He really cares about you and your case and is extremely fast and professional. Wish I could give him 10 stars! Truly a kind and caring human being thanks again John! read more

John Coniglio, a man who can make impossible, possible. John Coniglio did an extra ordinary job on my case. I handed my case to John with all the evidences I had. I cannot believe that John went through all the papers and analysis thousands of text messages and tons of emails. Finally, we won the battle and the case got dismissed. John is a really serious lawyer on the phone but extremely down to earth with a great sense of humor in person. His has a very calm face with a lovely smile in which when I was sitting next to him in court, I felt so relax and protected. Whatever John predicted about the hearing, had happened. It clearly shows the level of confidence and experience that he has. I also find John and his staff to be very accurate, precise and detail oriented. They are amazing communicators, extremely polite and extremely responsive. John Coniglio is a man who can make impossible, possible. I strongly recommend to call John if you need an extra ordinary and superb lawyer and want to be a winner. You won't go wrong by John. Thank you very much John for such a great job that you did for me and been always available when I needed you. You are great and best of the best. I also would like to thanks Rebecca and Tony for supporting me all the way through. They are wonderful communicators and super friendly people. Thank you so much. read more

John Coniglio was a huge help when my sister got in trouble and received 2 felony charges. She was facing a year in jail but ended up receiving probation and community service. He was so nice and was really there for my sister and my family through a difficult time. Thank you for your help John, we couldn't be anymore satisfied with the outcome. read more

I messed up. I was scared, nervous, and had not the slightest clue what to do or who to talk to. When I called his personal cell phone I was very happy to be able to speak with John in person. Not only did he help a great deal it was nice knowing he has your back and it takes this huge weight off your shoulders. And that is all before we even talked about financial status! He is great and does care about his clients. And his staff is phenomenal, always willing to bend over backwards for you. I would not trust anyone else to represent me. Thank you read more

This is very important to add this: In AA one of my friends hired another attorney who did not get him the proper advice THAT I RECEIVED!!! My friend is on the bus waiting for the restricted license -- I never was a day without the legal ability to drive. Also Mr. Coniglio told me to sign up for DUI classes without even being told to, which was the main reason they gave me the restriction in the first place. Honestly, I can't say enough about the advice that I received from this law firm. His assistant and legal team was so calm when I was freaking out over the wording on the forms from the DMV. Secondly, now I'm in the work alternative program. I got my duration reduced to 5 days (it was originally going to be 15 days) and am having to serve out this time at an awesome place. It was horribly difficult finding the Work Alternative Program office and then it is located next to the jail in Salinas which was absolutely the most horrible part of this DUI experience: Going to jail was the first and going to the sign up for the work alternative program was the second. I was urged by a so called "friend" to use another attorney who was half as expensive as John Coniglio and I didn't use that person's advice. I was mortified by the outrage that this person had towards me for not at least consulting with that other attorney. Now that I see that I came through this nightmare so much better than my friend in that first paragraph I see how much I appreciate this attorney. Beg borrow and steal to hire him! The absolutely worst thing now is that my insurance more than doubled. I used to have such awesome insurance now I have the absolutely worst on earth. I'm just wanting to let you know, because I didn't have this to go from when I hired this incredibly wonderful man, you should hire this law firm. You should stop drinking and take all this guy's advice. My life is like a miracle now. Love, Claire:) read more

John really is one of a kind. Not only is he sharp, informative and respected, he is also very kind and sincere. His expertise stands out in court. He always made himself available when needed. He was very supportive during the most difficult time. So glad I chose him, as it was the right decision in a very critical situation. read more

If you're looking for representation, then look no further than John. He's great. He really takes the time to make you feel at ease. Extremely invested in my case, available at any time, and most importantly, he made me feel like everything was going to be okay. He was able to get my felony charges dropped to a misdemeanor and I couldn't be more grateful. read more

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! read more

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 with out me even appearing in court. read more

As other reviewers noted, John's demeanor, professionalism and the respect he has among his peers inspires confidence. I retained Mr. Coniglio when my under age daughter was in an accident and charged with DUI. From the initial consultation John's concern was always centered around my daughter's health, well being and the impact on her immediate future. Throughout discussions with the DA's office, the court hearing and a subsequent DMV hearing John managed our expectations, communicated issues clearly and kept us fully informed. Mr. Coniglio and his staff far exceeded all expectations. I would recommend John Coniglio without hesitation read more

John pulled off several legal miracles. Where other senior attorneys were calling it a "fool's errand"... John was able to get some key court orders out of a CA-district court which overturned a driving suspension. He also got an expungement granted with quick turnaround. John leverages his knowledge and reputation for the benefit of clients. I recommend him wholeheartedly to look after your legal needs. read more

I would highly recommend John, kind caring person that helps people in need.

John was incredible! He always gave me good advices on how to proceed with my case. He was very helpful, generous with his time and professional. He helped me during the entire length of my case and never gave up. I feel blessed I met such an amazing professional. I highly recommend John to anyone needs a lawyer read more
