10+ Years of Experience

The right experience matters. Finding the right criminal defense attorney isn’t an easy task or a decision to be taken lightly. You need to find an attorney who has the experience necessary to get you the best possible results. My experience is unique and significant.

In addition to considerable trial experience, I have also developed invaluable insight and professional relationships. Insight and professional relationships used, in many instances, to get results no other defense attorney can achieve. Remember, exceptional results require exceptional experience. Reach out for a free consultation to discuss why my unique experience makes Panighetti Law the right choice for you.

My hard-earned personal and professional experiences have made me a fiercely competitive, yet calm, calculated and practical attorney. I understand there are many nuances involved in effectively defending your case. There are and will be times when we will fight the other side through litigation. There are and will be times when your interests are best served by careful and timely negotiation. Understanding when and how to use these and other approaches WILL determine the outcome of your case. As your Erie criminal defense lawyer, I approach every case with two goals:

1) Best Possible Result
That you achieve the best result possible.

2) You are Happy
That you are happy with how I represented you. Honesty is extremely important to me. I will never tell you what you want to hear in order to get you to hire me or to avoid having a difficult conversation. I will be honest with you, treat you with respect, and explain not just what I think we should do but why I think we should do it. I strongly believe that type of representation is required because if you are in a position to be reading this, then you are likely going through one of the toughest periods in your life. You need an attorney who understands that.
