Gwinnett County v. Vijay & Govino
In a recent case, the Palazzola Law Firm represented the first men charged with the state offense of human trafficking. Christopher J. Palazzola is the first attorney in Georgia at the state level to have these charges dismissed.
"We are very, very thankful to you for your kind support for standing by us in our bad times. Without you, it would be impossible to get justice for us. We are very happy, as we are once again united with our families. We would never forget whatever you have done for us." - Vijay Banerjee and Govino Vishwa
Acquittal of Criminal Charges
In a Clayton County criminal case, the prosecutor wanted our client Mr. H. Nguyen to serve five years on charges of aggravated assault, cruelty to children in the first degree, and terroristic threats. If convicted, the judge could have sentenced him to more than 30 years in prison. But after a four-day trial, the jury acquitted Mr. Nguyen on all charges. Mr. Nguyen hugged Christopher Palazzola and said, "You were great, you did a great job. You saved my life!"
Jury verdict awards damages 23 times more than medical bills
In a DeKalb County civil trial that occurred in February 2009, our client Vernon "Timothy" Mitchell was rear-ended by a drunk driver. Tim had $7,000 in chiropractic bills and the jury returned a verdict after a three-day trial of $158,000—nearly 23 times his damages. Tim was extremely pleased with the Palazzola Law Firm and will gladly refer us to his friends and family.
Facing possible 26 years in prison - Found not guilty on all counts!
“I was charged with aggravated assault, terroristic threats and simple assault Gwinnett County. I could have received a potential 26 years in prison. I had a public defender who wanted me to plead guilty to the charges and serve 2 years in jail followed by many years of probation. As I did not commit any crime, I would not plead guilty and was referred to and hired Chris Palazzola. He worked very hard for me, and I felt very confident of his abilities from the very beginning. Mr. Palazzola spent several weekends with me prior to the jury trial preparing- sometimes as long as 13 hours on a Sunday. We went to trial in October, 2009. After a three day trial, the jury came back in less than one hour with Not Guilty on all counts! I would refer any friend or relative to Mr. Palazzola for anything he handles. He literally saved my life." - P.J.
Hard Work Pays Off - 1 Year Jail Time Reduced to Probation
“I was charged with two felonies in Gwinnett County. The prosecutors originally wanted me to serve at least one in prison followed by 5 years probation. For over a year Mr. Palazzola and I went to court on numerous occasions and when the prosecutors would not budge off of prison time Mr. Palazzola began to prepare for trial. In doing so he met with me after I got off work, sometimes as late as nine o’clock on a Friday night. Ultimately the District Attorney offered just probation. Chris Palazzola did a great job, and fought for me to the end. Because Mr. Palazzola was able to work out probation, it saved my job and my relationship. I would highly recommend Chris Palazzola to anyone, including my family and friends if they ever needed an attorney.”
