Testimonial by Accused Army Dentist

"After finding myself facing an unimaginable charge, I am lucky to have found and been represented by Attorney John L. Calcagni III. From our first phone call, he was a dedicated and hard-working attorney, ready and eager to put into my case all the time and energy needed to get me a positive result. While he was professional with all whom he encountered in my defense, he explained all details of my case to me in a way that I could understand. Throughout my case, John was always available to me, whether by phone, email, or text. It did not matter what else he had going on, he always had time for me. John spent countless hours going over every detail in a mountain of my paperwork, talking with witnesses by phone and in person, and researching every aspect of my case. John truly cared about me and my well-being, and I do not think there are many attorneys out there that can be said about. I had a particularly unique situation, and a history of mental illness; John went to great lengths to understand my condition and to shelter and protect me from members of the prosecution that did not appreciate it as he did. I have no doubt that I would not be sitting here today with no criminal record, and an honorable discharge at that, if it wasn't for John Calcagni. I cannot say enough positive comments about John, because the words do not exist. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing representation. I pray I never need an attorney again, but if I do, John Calcagni will be the one I hire!"

Testimonial by Parents of Accused Army Dentist

"The Army prosecuted our daughter, who suffered from a mental illness, for Desertion because she did not report for her Officer Basic Course. We did not think she needed to report due to her condition. We were wrong. She was legally obligated, and as a result, the Army issued a warrant for her arrest. She turned herself in thinking the Army would soon let her resign. We were wrong again. The Army brought criminal charges against her for Desertion. Wanting the very best court-martial or military defense attorney for our daughter, we hired Attorney John Calcagni. From our very first phone call with John, he put us and our daughter at ease. He was very patient and took the time to explain our daughter's case in way that we understood. He continued to do this for us every step of the way. John was available to all of us at any time, day, night and weekends, for us to ask and him to answer our questions. He always responded to our phone calls and emails no matter how big or small our questions were. John was also very thorough in preparing and presenting our daughter's difficult, involved and lengthy case a trial. He is extremely knowledgeable about military law, diligent in all he does for his clients and has an impeccable work ethic. Perhaps most importantly, he had a genuinely caring heart for our daughter. We have no doubts that the outcome of our daughter's case would not have been completely positive were it not for John Calcagni being in her corner and handling her case. We highly recommend John to anyone in need of legal representation, especially military service members facing court-martial. We hope and pray that we never have to, but would without a doubt, would hire him again! Thank you from two very grateful parents!"

Testimonial by Husband of Accused Army Dentist

"The combination of John's persistent work ethic, innovative trial preparation, and courtroom skills are what allowed our family to get the desired outcome in a case that previous attorneys had struggled with. Rarely do you come across an attorney that develops a true affinity for his clients' problems in order to develop the correct roadmap for handling the case; John put in a tremendous amount of hours on our case doing precisely this. It was very evident that John prides himself in being a trial lawyer that delivers all that is expected and then much more, and our family has no doubts that there are no complex criminal cases that John couldn't handle. We trusted John to handle a case that had a lot at stake (and John was not hired until our matter had been ongoing for a lengthy period, so he had a lot of catch up to do) and he obtained a result for our family that was optimal. Thank you John for your hard work, devotion and persistence in our case."

Court-Martial Testimonial

Testimonial from Spouse of Marine:

“Words cannot express how grateful I am to Attorney John Calcagni. He helped my husband and our family this past year by defending a complicated court-martial brought by the U.S. Marine Corps. John not only helped my husband with fighting many of the false charges against him, but he is the one and only reason my husband is home with our family and not in the brig right now.

John is also the one and only reason my husband, who pleaded guilty at court-martial, is still leaving the Marines with an Honorable Discharge, his Sergeant rank and so much more to include a medical retirement. John is very honest and professional. As busy as he is, he was always there to talk with my husband and I if needed. He returned every call, text and email quickly. John stayed on top of everything leaving little stress on me, my husband or our family. I was pregnant during much of the court-martial process. John always emphasized that he did not want me to not stress at all. His compassion for our situation really meant a lot to me. It was clear to me that John cares so much not only for the welfare of the person he is defending, but also for the family involved. He is not only a great lawyer but a great person with a big heart.

Attorney Calcagni definitely went above and beyond of our expectations. I would HIGHLY recommend Attorney John Calcagni to anyone! Thank you so much John for everything!”

Court Martial Testimonial

Testimonial from Marine:

“Attorney Calcagni is a top notch defense lawyer with a top notch firm. His firm and its staff do not just care about your case, but they also care about individuals involved in each case, whether the accused, defendant, family members and witnesses. John is the read deal and the best. 

John helped me through my court martial that took over a year. I was charged with several offenses involving conspiracy, fraud and theft of government property. These charges were brought against me days before I was set to be discharged with a medical separation. John negotiated a pretrial agreement in my case that made it possible for me to stay out of jail, keep my rank, receive an Honorable Discharge, and also my medical retirement. 

I could not have asked for a better outcome or a better lawyer. I highly recommend Attorney John Calcagni to each and everyone, especially military service members, who wants a criminal defense counsel that’s sets himself above and beyond the rest.”

Testimonial of Motorist’s Parent:

“Attorney Calcagni saved my automotive technician son’s career. His courtroom moxie and negation skills turned a potentially career ending moving violation into a win-win situation for both his client and the State. John went to extraordinary lengths to ensure a positive outcome for a seemingly “simple” traffic matter including 3 court appearances, multiple correspondence with the State and his client, countless emails and phone calls. He treated us with the same dedication and commitment that you could only hope for in a more complicated legal matter. 

He is truly dedicated to the successful representation of clients. I recommend him to anyone to any legal matter and will not hesitate to hire him again if the need ever arises.”

Leaving the Scene of an Accident Testimonial for Criminal Defense Attorney John Calcagni

Testimonial from Female Motorist:

Words cannot describe how grateful I am for having John as my attorney. When I was involved in a single vehicle car accident, the police officer said I may be criminally charged. John told me right away what the possible charges might be and how he could prepare my defense. I was very comfortable with him and knew I could trust him at all times.

Within a few days of the accident, I was criminally charged with Negligent Operation of a Motor Vehicle, Leaving the Scene of the Accident and Speeding. I had never been to Court before or charged with a crime so I didn’t know what to expect. My nerves and anxieties were at an all time high.

John met with me again before Court to explain the charges, their meaning and all the possible scenarios for their resolution. He said there was a 50/50 chance we would prevail at the Clerk-Magistrate’s Hearing, and that if we lost, we may have to go to trial.

At the Clerk-Magistrate’s Hearing, I was so impressed with John and especially by how well he knew the facts of my case and the arguments he presented in my defense. I believe his knowledge of the law and trial experience helped the Clerk’s-Magistrate make the decision to drop the criminal charges against me.

Thank you so much!! – Young girl motorist.

Testimonial for Criminal Defense Attorney John Calcagni

Testimonial from Parent of Female Motorist:

After my 21-year-old daughter was involved in her first motor vehicle accident, she was charged with Negligent Operation of a Motor Vehicle, Leaving the Scene of an Accident and Speeding. I immediately called John for his help. We met the next day in his office where he explained everything that could possibly happen to my daughter as a result of these charges. He explained things in terms that we both understood. We both felt very comfortable with him. He kept us up-to-date on what he was doing to prepare her defense and case for the Clerk-Magistrate’s Hearing.

On the day of the hearing, my daughter was extremely nervous. John helped her to relax by telling her step-by-step what was going to happen. He also said we would probably not have a resolution that day, and there was a possibility that we would need to go to trial.

During the hearing, he was well prepared and very thorough. He knew the facts of the case inside and out. He then made a great argument to the Clerk-Magistrate resulting in a resolution of the case that day, which including dismissing the criminal charges.

Thank you! – Mother of young girl motorist.

Military Criminal Defense Attorney Board of Inquiry Testimonial

If you are a United States service-member in need of assistance with a civilian or a military criminal matter, contact Criminal Defense Attorney John L. Calcagni now at (401) 351-5100 for a free consultation or more information. Remember to subscribe to my blog for updates on military and criminal law matters.

"Dear Attorney Calcagni,

It is with the utmost gratitude that I write to you today.  I have no doubt in my mind that you were the key to winning my recent Officer Board of Inquiry hearing. 

I first want to thank you for getting my life back.  I say this because the U.S. Army is my life.  I have expended all my energies for the Army during my 27 years of service.  It has been paramount to me to serve my country.  You have allowed me to continue that service. 

I have been living with a black mark in my career for 6 years.  At first, I hired an attorney to clear my name and reputation.  He failed miserably in this endeavor.  I then spent the next 6 years waiting for the notice of separation or elimination that I knew by Army Regulation was forthcoming.  It remained a terrible burden on my family and I. 

When the notice of elimination finally arrived from U.S. Army Human Resources Command, I was deployed to Afghanistan.  The sudden and unsettling news that my military career could be over just a few years before my active duty retirement eligibility made me feel as if the world was ending.  I am so lucky that a good friend and fellow Army Officer recommended me to you.  

From the moment we first spoke, I knew that you were an extraordinarily competent, professional and compassionate attorney.  You were as passionate about your profession as I was about mine.  I saw that you fought for your clients and were dedicated to winning.  This gave me hope of winning when my potential future in the military seemed very bleak. 

Throughout the 9 months that we worked on my case, you always found time to talk to me.  You even waited for my call late at night and into the early morning hour so that we could talk by phone when I was in Afghanistan.  Your dedication to my case was astounding. 

When it came to my Board of Inquiry or separation or elimination hearing, you performed flawlessly.  I have witnessed many court and other adversarial proceedings and never in my 47 years have I ever seen a more skilled orator such as you. 

I completely left the decisions of my defense in your capable hands and you never disappointed.  From the paperwork that your office and its professional staff produced on my behalf, to your conduct in the hearing, overall, your representation of me can only be described as perfect. 

You are honest, sincere and extremely talented.  It is because of your hard and dedicated work that I was retained by a Board of Officers for further active duty military service in the U.S. Army.  I thank you again for my life back!  - MAJ L"
