    I was extremely impressed with Michael Spano! My brother and I sat down with him for a free…read moreconsultation regarding a potential criminal trial regarding another family member, and Michael was very professional and knowledgeable when it comes to criminal law. As it turns out he suggested that I wait to retain legal counsel until a point in the future (he explained when I should make that move if and when it comes). Another less knowledgeable attorney I spoke with said he could help me and wanted me to retain him on right on the spot. Meeting with Michael made me feel much better regarding my family's situation. I'm confident that if I should need Michael in the future he will serve us well! When it comes to attorneys you want a very good one and are willing to pay, however you do not want to end up spending a lot of money unnecessarily. I trust Michael Spano completely and would recommend him to anyone!

    Mr. Peter Pullano, Managing Partner of the Tully-Rinckey office in Rochester, NY represented me in…read morea child pornography case in 2017. A federal complaint was filed against me in January and the time between my arrest and sentencing (in December) was almost one year. Since this was my first offense, this year was the absolute worst of my life and Mr. Pullano quickly recognized my sincere remorse and desire to rehabilitate. He spent considerable time, at my request, educating my family (including my wife) and me regarding the nature of my crime and the range of legal options and potential outcomes. He was always clear and forthright whether the information he had to convey was good or unwelcome news. While Mr. Pullano was my primary legal interface, I also know that other members of his legal team (including Mr. Zachary Ruetz) were working behind the scenes to research legal precedents and outcomes of recent cases which were relevant to mine. I would also like to acknowledge legal secretary, Mr. David Douglas, who was particularly helpful with scheduling meetings (sometimes on short-notice), collecting and organizing documents (including character reference letters from my family and counselors) and keeping me abreast of my legal bills. Because of Mr. Pullano's extensive experience, exceptional legal skills and deep understanding of the federal judicial system and the prosecuting attorneys and judges involved, the outcome of my case was better than I could have hoped for. While I was sentenced to 30 months of incarceration and 10 years of probation after pleading guilty to possession, this outcome was far better than the federal guidelines range of 70-87 months and the maximum potential sentence of 20 years. Mr. Pullano guided me through the process and encouraged me to seek counseling early. He also made it clear how important it was to follow all rules set forth by probation for my supervised release over the year which enabled me to spend extra time with my family between plea and sentencing dates and post-plea after gaining approval by the judge to self-surrender. In summary, everything came together for the best-case scenario because of how Mr. Pullano handled my case and because of the positive actions I took after being arrested based on his suggestions. While I'm not looking forward to incarceration, I feel the number of months is tolerable for my family and me and that justice has been well-served. I did my research before selecting Tully-Rinckey and discovered that I could have paid 2-3 times for a fancy, big-city legal team but, I'm convinced I made the right decision not to and that the outcome would not have been any better. Thank you Mr. Peter Pullano and Tully-Rinckey for the expert, successful and very practical legal services.
