Client Reviews
Catherine BlackwellClient's Parent

Outstanding Federal Criminal Defense

Mr. Sirianni represented my son in a federal drug conspiracy case in the Western District of Pennsylvania. His knowledge of federal sentencing guidelines and his ability to negotiate with the U.S. Attorney's office was remarkable. He kept us informed at every step and achieved a significantly reduced sentence. I cannot recommend him highly enough for anyone facing federal charges.

Michael DonovanFormer Client

Exceptional Knowledge of Federal Procedure

Hired Mr. Sirianni for a complex federal appeal in the Third Circuit. His understanding of appellate procedure and his writing skills were exceptional. He identified issues in the trial record that other attorneys had missed. The appeal was successful and the conviction was overturned. Worth every penny.

Jennifer WalshConsultation Client

Knowledgeable and Professional

Consulted with Mr. Sirianni about a potential federal white-collar case. Even though we ultimately didn't proceed with litigation, his analysis of the situation was thorough and his advice was sound. He was honest about the strengths and weaknesses of the case, which I appreciated. Very professional office and staff.
