I should have left this review a long while ago. I was fighting a serious case in 2012. Its effects turned my life upside down. Mr. Pagano saved my life. The opportunities I have today would not be possible if not for him and his entire team.

TOP DOG! Mr. Pagano is the best and i been represented and witnessed many other attorneys in court. Mr. Pagano got my son the best deal possible from a bad situation that carried state time and was even on the news. He will be home in less than a year with time served. He is very caring and will get you the best possible outcome. He returns calls promptly and always tells you the truth not just what u want to hear. I consider Mr. Pagano not only a great attorney but a genuine friend. He is the best! Thanks again for the incredible work Mr. Pagano.

All I can say is is hands-down the best attorney I've had in my life. Actually the only attorney I've had to fight serious cases. And every time Greg got me out of lots of hard times and scary situations I think Greg a lot for that I've known Greg for over 25 years he's been a family lawyer for that long. And he's served my family as well and Friends so if anybody wants to ever have a great lawyer then look no further Gregory Pagano so my opinion is the best lawyer in Philadelphia in the scales of one to ten I will give them a 25 but then again that's just me and how I think but I'm pretty sure most of you guys think the same. Anyway thanks Greg you're the best!

Sarah jones helped me with my child support case. They kept running over me not listening to anything I said, taking more money from me until I hired Sarah. I told her my story and she took it from there and when it was time to go e I won all my cases. Just wanted to say Sarah Jones is no joke, she does a great job and I want to say thank u again Sarah.
