"My experience with John Schiro and Schiro Criminal Defense has been phenomenal. It was a great please to work with everyone that works in his office as well. I was facing some charges and a case that needed a lot of attention to detail. John’s style is very calm, methodical, and detail oriented. He really took the time to understand all aspects of the case and evidence to defend me the best way possible. He brought plenty of evidence and strategy to light that I didn’t even think of in my own defense. There is no doubt that he has a passion for getting his clients the best possible result, regardless of how complicated the case is. He also seemed to take my case very personally and I never felt like I was just “some case” that he was on. Obviously, I hope I’ll never need any type of criminal defense again, but if I ever do, I’m going straight to John Schiro."
