A criminal charge of aiding and abetting or accessory can usually be brought against anyone who helps a person or persons commit a crime. A person charged with aiding and abetting or accessory is usually not present when the crime itself is committed, but he or she has knowledge of the crime, either before or after the fact, and may have indirectly assisted the person in committing the crime by providing advice, actions, or financial support.

I had the good fortune to be represented by this firm for a speeding ticket upstate. They handled my case swiftly and professionally. I received a reduced fine and no points on my driving record. It was a great relief. I am confident to recommend Gugliotta & Ponzini to my family and friends for any matters requiring an attorney.

John is incredibly hard working, dedicated to his clients, and extremely talented in his work. He is detail-oriented and vigilant while still keeping the bigger picture in mind. He is patient and even tempered but also knows when and how to fight for his clients and keeps their best interests at the forefront. His high intellect and ethical integrity matched with a great personality and social skills make him enjoyable to work with as well as extremely effective at what he does.

I've been a client of this firm for over a decade.
Lawyers tend to get a bad rap and we've probably all come across some shady ones at one point or another. But there are ethical ones too. John, as was his father before him, is a shining example of what's right in legal representation. (This was a family practice and after John's father retired, he brought in a partner to round out and diversify the practice.)
The firm's ethic and culture is to truly help people through the practice of law, and they are extremely competent at doing it. John has a knack for sizing
