I was stuck on the Sex Offender Registry for 29 years for a misdemeanor offense I committed in 1994. You can’t live a normal life when you’re stuck on the registry. I contacted Riccardo and he got me off the list in six months. Now my long nightmare is finally over. The cloud of despair that has hung over my life for the last three decades has finally lifted, and I feel like a prisoner who has been freed. I couldn’t be more grateful to Riccardo. I also want to thank the wonderful Anniesa! These guys saved me, and (unlike the first lawyer I tried) they didn’t charge me an arm and a leg for it. So grateful! Thank you from the bottom of my heart guys, you’ve done me a great service.
I am choosing between several law firms. How do I know VIB Law is the firm for me?
Every year most of our new business comes to us by way of referrals. Past clients refer us to family members or friends because they know we handle their cases aggressively, professionally and in a caring manner. You can read their testimonials here. Attorneys and others in the criminal justice system refer us cases because we get results.
If you are facing a criminal charge the entire weight and resources of the Government will be used against you to obtain a conviction. You need a firm with large enough resources to stand up for you in this fight. At the same, time our firm treats each client with care and respect. That’s why our slogan at VIB Law is,
“Big Enough to Fight For You, but small enough to care”
Expungement: Six Star Review
I highly recommend Riccardo Ippolito he is very knowledgable of the law and easy to talk too. His staff are responsive and helpful. I wish I could give six stars.
Sex Crime: Mr. Ippolito represented me in a very scary situation
Mr. Ippolito represented me in a very scary situation. When I turned myself in I learned I was possibly facing 25 yrs. to life in prison for my negligence. I had recently started a good-paying position OTR truck-driving across the country and could not afford to be in jail or lose my job. Mr. Ippolito not only got me 3 yrs. probation, no jail time, a small fine and even drove 150mi. to the County I live in to face a 2nd judge and verify the stipulations of probation so I could keep my job. Believe me, Mr. I was worth every penny.

After getting out of jail, I needed an experienced attorney to defend me. At the time, my options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed impossible. The moment my family and I met with Riccardo, most of my negative thoughts vanished, leaving me with peace of mind. I was innocent but I needed someone of Riccardo’s caliber to represent me. He’s straight to-the-point, his priorities are clear, and he’s focused on results. Riccardo made it happen and got me out of this terrible mess before my first court date. My family and I are grateful for his service and we highly recommend him. The team at VIB Law was very prompt and professional. It was great that one of their assistants speaks Spanish!
