Devin Honeycutt

I had a very good experience with this firm and specifically John Pensa. He was very diligent and efficient and gave me a thorough list of mitigation materials to help the case he was handling on my behalf. He explained all of the possible outcomes and was very polite and a genuinely nice person to talk to while waiting in the courthouse. He was honest, and upfront about how things would go at the initial magistrate hearing. Luckily for me, his work and services paid off, and the magistrates hearing was all I required. I am paraphrasing here, but the clerk noted to me "I'm not sure how much you paid your attorney, but it was well worth it. He put together a very detailed package and case." I hope I do not require attorney services again, but if I do He will be my first call.

I met John when he was working on a case for a family member, I thought he was excellent then so I reached out when I was in need. He was super informative and explained exactly what to expect throughout the process. John and his team made a stressful situation as comfortable as possible for me. I would hire him again if a need arises.

Michael Bryan

First off I wanna thank John and his team for all his help over the years. I can say when John first started representing me if it wasn’t for him I might not be here today. This is a very personal case he represented myself my family and I on, and I cannot express the gratitude of his expertise and the results. When my situation first started, I had another local attorney that was recommended to me and it was a disaster. My wife and I prayed for help and we begin looking for someone new and John‘s name came up first and it was a blessing. I will tell everyone with 100% sincerity, If you need help, John will be the attorney to do it.

I saw John and his team in action in a case a few months ago and was thoroughly impressed by his attention to details and his questioning of the opposing party. Little did I know at that time that I will be requiring John's services in a few months. Due to an unfortunate event I had to contact John. John and his team were upfront about what will happen and that put my mind at ease. My case was dismissed quickly. Knowing John and his team was in my corner, really put my mind at ease.

My son found himself in some trouble that could have seriously impacted his entire future. We interviewed a dozen attorneys when searching for someone to represent him. We were looking for the absolute best considering what was potentially at stake. Immediately upon meeting Attorney Calcagni we knew he was the right choice. We wanted someone that was not only incredibly smart and very knowledgeable of the laws but also someone with extensive trial experience in the event in came to that. Attorney Calcagni checked all the boxes. He’s a no nonsense straight shooter and tells it like it is (which I greatly appreciate). He was always easily accessible and kept us updated during the entire process. In the end he was able to get my son an outcome we were all happy with and we (thankfully) didn’t have to take anything to trial. I would absolutely use him again if needed and send my friends and family to Attorney Calcagni without any reservation. My son can now get on with his life. Thank you Attorney Calcagni!

i had a case go on for awhile because of Covid. I was very nervous of the outcome and John Cacagni was a wonderful lawyer. He made us feel comfortable and answered all are questions. He kept fighting for us until we agreed on a solution. I would recommend him to anyone that needed counseling. He is very professional and always there to answer anything that you need answers to. I am very happy with him as my lawyer .

Yesmin Gonzalez

I contacted John Calcagni over a family case and not only did he explain the process in details but provided support and council throughout the months of process. John understood my needs, was upfront, fair, always answered my calls/emails, and was the perfect lawyer for the job. Thank goodness with him on my side we were able to resolve everything in a timely manner and have a favorable outcome. He and his team worked tirelessly to get everything resolved and straightened out. No one wants to be in a position where they need a lawyer but if ever something arises in the future, I know I can call on John.

Attorney John L. Calcagni III is the best. He has helped some of my closest friends. John is a former federal prosecutor and knows his way in and out of many state and federal courts. He handles all his cases with care, compassion and second to none expertise. If you, a friend or a relative need criminal defense representation, the decision is easy - call John Calcagni immediately. You won't regret it and the case will be handled beyond your expectations.

Mr. Calcagni and Mr. Pensa are the whole package. They provided me guidance and representation through the hardest time of my life. I had originally hired a family friend attorney, who did not communicate well nor defend me. I had to make a quick decision to find someone that would be responsive, empathetic to my situation and understanding that I this was a world I was completely unfamiliar with. When you are not used to the criminal system, you feel like you are in the dark and John's team made sure that I was well aware of my options through out the process. My situation was continuing to get worse... and Mr. Calcagni's team moved quickly to resolve my multiple cases in the best way possible. I was shown respect and treated like a priority throughout my cases and the years of connections and experience that his team has provided me with a true feeling of confidence that I was given the best possible options at all time. I would recommend Mr.Calcagni and his firm to my Family and friends 110% of the time.

Jose Borras

John Pensa and his legal team are outstanding! He is an amazing attorney and i just cant find the words to describe how great he is, but i will try. He was able to get all charges dismissed with such ease. It was amazing watching him work as the trial proceedings progressed. He reminded me of Johnny Cochran when he got O.J off! He does his research and looks up similar cases that were dismissed to strengthen your argument! 10 of out 5 stars! Would recommend and will be keeping his number for the future if i ever run into trouble again. Thanks again John P for everything! I have my freedom due to your phenomenal work!

Best criminal defense attorney in New England. John is one of very few attorneys that not only is beyond brilliant at his job but cares for it; and that's how you know you have found the best and perfect attorney. When someone not only fights for you but fights for you because they love what they do and has a passion for it. I am so blessed to have had chosen John as my attorney, I wouldn't change anything, he fought for me from the beginning to the end. Thank you for everything John! If a defense attorney was ever needed in anything in your life, John Calcagni is truly the only and best way to go!

Two and a half years ago, my life was turned upside down by a charge that I never thought I would face. The emotions that came with that charge were fear, anxiety and complete terror. Not only was my freedom in jeopardy, but my reputation as well. Worst of all, though, my family’s future. Because my charges came out of the blue, I was originally assigned a public defender and it was obvious that I needed to hire a private criminal defense attorney after discussions with the public defender about my case. I found John Calcagni through a basic search of criminal defense attorneys and read his reviews. Before I even met him, I knew John was going to be expertly skilled, just from his impressive credentials, never mind the exhaustive list of positive reviews from previous clients. When I met John, I was also introduced to his associate, John Pensa. As I described the charges, both men listened and took notes and were ready to get to work - BEFORE I even gave them a penny. I had literally been in the office for under an hour and they were already requesting my file from the public defender. I entered their office in terror and left that day feeling as though I wasn’t alone anymore. As the pretrial phase of the process began a few weeks later, John Pensa took the wheel of my particular case and Calcagni would be his guide. And, although Pensa had taken over, Calcagni always made it clear that he was also available if I had questions, John Pensa always answered any concerns I had with lightning speed. As the process continued, the best way to describe their style of representation is: aggressive, yet strategic. John Pensa was always aware of obstacles that might get in the way of a plan, but more importantly, he knew how to avoid them. And, when obstacles were unavoidable, he had an escape plan in place. Never once in two and a half years was there ever even an ounce of hopelessness out of Pensa (or Calcagni’s) mouth. When one or two obstacles came our way (which we expected), there was ALWAYS another immediate plan of action. Ultimately, the team work of John Pensa and John Calcagni gave me my life back. For over two years, I woke up either crying my eyes out or shaking in terror, remembering my circumstances another day. Now, I wake up to my children laughing, my wife smiling and my dog wanting to play. And, for the first time in two and a half years, I am ready to face the day again with hope, not dread. If you’re reading this and you’re facing any type of criminal charges, get to John Calcagni’s office as soon as you possibly can.

JOHN REDDING

It's scary getting a visit from the FBI and a letter stating you are a person of interest in a Grand Jury Investigation. I panicked and tried to find someone to help me, and that was John Calcagni. Before seeing him I couldn't sleep and this case was all I could think about. But John got me out of my head space by convincing me to let him take over this burden. Right move, John guided me through the process, kept me calm and on course, and ultimately secured that letter stating I was no longer a person of interest. As John stated to me, it was the optimal outcome. But I believe he was the optimal attorney. With all sincerity, Thank you Mr. Calcagni.

Dan Griffin is the absolute best. Called his number on a Sunday and he texted back followed by a phone call. He didn't know me at all. He reassured me he could help me and he was true to his word. I do not want to go into the details of my case, but rest assured he's 100% a professional and got my case dismissed. I am forever grateful for him as is my wife!

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to John Calcagni's office for their exceptional legal assistance. When I was facing a daunting felony gun charge, their team stepped in and delivered outstanding results. John Calcagni and his dedicated staff displayed an impressive level of legal expertise and commitment throughout the entire process. They meticulously reviewed the case, explored every avenue, and, in the end, successfully secured a dismissal of the felony gun charge. I couldn't have asked for better legal representation. If you find yourself in a challenging legal situation, I wholeheartedly recommend John Calcagni's office. They are true professionals who genuinely care about their clients and achieving justice.

Man, where do I start? Someone recently made some false allegations against me. Very scary situation to be in. I did some research on a few lawyer s but, I didn’t want to choose a lawyer too quick, I wanted to make sure I chose the right one. I had a few lawyers in mind, but when I read about John Calcagni and the cases that he’s won, I knew I had to hire him as my lawyer. I was a little nervous because I’ve never been in any sort of situation like this or have never been in trouble with the law. I texted John about my situation and immediately he asked me when I would like to come in to speak with him. Our first meeting, I told him about the allegations. John was very honest about the consequences of such allegations and I appreciated that. I wanted to know everything even if it was hard to hear and he explained it very well. One thing I really appreciated about John is that he refused to take my money before we knew for sure that a police report was made about me. He said “ listen, you have a family, a wife, a newborn kid. I don’t wanna take your money. Why don’t you find out if a report was made about you and contact me if it was made”. I feel like not every lawyer would give that offer and I’m so grateful for that. A few days later I found out that a report was made about me. I immediately texted John and he told me that his offer stands. I hired him. He invited me for another meeting, took my info down and the info of the person and family of the one making allegations against me and started investigating. He told me in that meeting to make sure I don’t talk to any police or anyone about the situation. He explained that it will help that I’ve never had a criminal background, that I’m a family man, a working man, if this ever went to court. A few days later a detective called me to talk about the allegations. I immediately told John and he immediately contacted the detective through phone and mail telling him that I exercise my right to remain silent, that no arrest will be necessary if it came to that, and to avoid speaking to me or asking me any questions that will incriminate. John guided me and told me to don’t answer to anyone and if I did get arrested that I call him immediately. He also told me the only thing I should say is “I wanna call my lawyer”. Well I followed his instructions and didn’t call the detective back. Again, a few days later I met with John and he said that he could possibly prevent these false allegations from lifting off the ground and being taken to court and that’s exactly what he did. He spoke with the detective and some way , somehow they decided that they did not have sufficient evidence against me to make a case and the investigation was closed just like that . I don’t know how John did it. But I give glory and honor to God for using this man as His vessel to keep me from separating from my family. From having a criminal background. From ruining my employment opportunities. My peace has returned to me. I cherish my family so much more after 2 months of hell. In my opinion, John is a very honest man. He’s not going to sugar coat anything. He will let you know the good and the bad. He will let you know the consequences of the allegations and what he believes he can do for you. I appreciated that he didn’t play pretend. He didn’t make any false or broken promises. He told me where I stood and what was possible on his end and he did it. I can continue my life without worrying about losing my family. I could of possibly faced 10 years in prison but I’m free. Never even lifted off the ground. God is so so good and I’m glad that he used John and the skills that John has acquired through many years of experience. God bless you John and thank you so much!

I had the pleasure of meeting Atty John Pensa for an unfortunate incident. He was kind and understanding and believed in my innocents from day one, he fought real hard for me, it was a devastating road for me, but Atty Pensa kept me posted on all details and made me feel reassured that things would be fine. He was right, we won our case and I couldn't be more grateful. Thank you again Atty. John Pensa. I hope I'll never need a lawyer again but if I do I will call this office again

A few months ago I did something pretty stupid that put me in a precarious situation. I was left anxiety ridden and unsure of my future. After researching several attorneys and doing a few consultations, I will say from day one John Calcagni, III blew my expectations out of the water. I was out of state at the time, he took time out of his busy schedule to zoom call me personally within 24 hours. He learned the ins and outs of my situation, took the time to hear out my biggest concerns, and using his extensive knowledge of the justice system proposed a course of action to settle those aforementioned concerns. After retaining his services, John and his team were extremely communicative, keeping me up to date with developments in my case at every step of the way. I felt like I was in good hands throughout the entire process, and needless to say, they put me at ease through an otherwise extremely stressful time in my life. Fast forward to today, I'm on the path to getting all of my charges dismissed and sealed, and have avoided going to trial altogether. I can't thank attorney Calcagni and his team enough for his expertise, his transparency, his attention to detail, and his kindness. If you're looking for an attorney to assist you, I HIGHLY recommend John and his office and I mean that. I feel like I have my life back, and for that I thank you John. I'm extremely grateful. Cheers!

I am writing this review to express my sincere appreciation for Attorney John Calcagni's exceptional work and guidance during a challenging time in my life. As someone who has never had issues with the law, it was overwhelming to deal with for over a year and a half. I hired Attorney Calcagni to represent me, and he has been nothing but thorough and professional. Attorney Calcagni’s has been invaluable in navigating the legal complexities of my situation. My only regret is not hiring him sooner in this process. He makes me feel extremely protected and safe, and I don't need to hold his hand or monitor him like I do other attorneys I have previously hired. He always has my best interest at heart. Attorney Calcagni's personalized, honest, and aggressive representation has exceeded my expectations. He is a highly skilled, experienced, and knowledgeable criminal defense trial lawyer who has helped me understand the legal process and the potential effects my case may have on me. In conclusion, I highly recommend Attorney John Calcagni to anyone in need of a criminal defense attorney. Thank you, Attorney Calcagni, for your exceptional work and for putting my mind at ease during this difficult time.

I will always appreciate John’s devotion and effort in helping me during my hard time.

Sometimes in life you find yourself in less than desirable circumstances. Circumstances that are unfortunate and possibly unfair, but are no less the circumstances. Hiring John Calcagni was a blessing. John is a kind, caring, and compassionate person. He is well spoken, professional, extremely knowledgeable and commands attention. All of which are true attributes of a powerful criminal defense attorney. John handled our case with care and compassion while always taking the time to answer our questions even when they were redundant or time consuming. John explained everything from the start of the case until the very end to be sure we were well informed throughout the process. He even opened up his office on a Sunday morning to meet with us. Most importantly John advised us like we were family and never gave up on our case, even when it took 3 years to resolve with a favorable outcome. Hiring John was a choice, but it was the right choice. If you find yourself in an undesirable place, we highly recommend consulting John Calcagni. Thank you John for your attention to our lives and case. We know that if we need you in the future, you will undoubtedly be there.

My family’s experience with the Law Office of John Calcagni III was excellent. John and his team went above and beyond. Our family could not have hoped for a better outcome. John was always there when we needed him. He always responded the same day to our emails or calls if we had questions or concerns about the case. He thoroughly explained all details regarding our case and made us feel at ease. What most impressed us was the confidence John and his team expressed. We knew we were in good hands and with the best law firm. Thank you to John and his team.

Exceptional Lawyer, Always reaches back out to you himself when he can, he goes out of his way to make you feel like his only client despite his busy schedule. Working with Lea was also a great experience. John Calcagni went out of his way to cover all of the bases from day one & despite this experience being tumultuous his confidence & knowledge on the subjects made it much easier to trust him with your case. I highly recommend Mr. Calcagni to anyone who may need representation in the future.

I must say that working with John L. Calcagni has been an absolute pleasure. Their expertise, professionalism, and dedication to my case was truly impressive. From the moment I met John L. Calcagni, I knew that I was in good hands. They took the time to listen to my concerns and understood the details of my case, and worked tirelessly to ensure that my rights were protected and my best interests were served. Their legal knowledge and experience were evident in every interaction we had, and I was continually impressed by their attention to detail, strategic thinking, and clear communication. They kept me informed every step of the way, and their ability to explain complex legal concepts in simple, understandable terms was a true asset. But what really stood out to me was their passion for their work and their unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for me. They never wavered in their determination to fight for my rights, and their hard work and dedication paid off in a positive result that exceeded my expectations. Overall, I can't recommend John L. Calcagni highly enough. They are an exceptional legal professional who truly cares about their clients and goes above and beyond to achieve the best possible outcomes. If you are looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable, dedicated, and passionate about their work, then look no further. They are simply the best!

I have hired john twice and both times was pleased as punch. You get what you pay for and with John, every dollar is worth it and more. John is highly respected among his colleagues in the court system. If you want something taken care of and dont want to worry about it after signing the paper work John C is the attorney to retain.

Mr. Calcagni and Pensa are two of the best! They’re very informative when it comes to breaking down your case and explaining the steps/procedures that are going to take place during your case. My case lasted almost 2.5 years and they were there with me every step of the way and ultimately they got my case dismissed. Very reliable, very professional.

Exceptional work from a dedicated professional!! John was one of the very few lawyers that possessed the specialized expertise and experience to adeptly handle our case in Federal Court. John took on our case without hesitation and promptly began to ensure that we thoroughly understood every aspect of the proceedings and delivered on everything that we agreed to. He kept us informed, ensured that there were no surprises and made certain that we fully understood the complicated legal proceeding every step of the way. I am thoroughly convinced that John's tenacious approach and firm resolve made all the difference in the outcome of our case. If we ever find ourselves facing a legal matter in the future, we will look no further than John Calcagni! Fast forward a few years (March 2023) and I’ve found myself seeking John’s assistance once again. This time around I knew exactly what to do when faced with a similar legal situation… call my Lawyer, John Calcagni. Just as before, John immediately went to work helping me navigate through the complex legal proceedings. He handled every aspect of my case with true professionalism and dedication. If you ever find yourself in a situation where you need to “call your Lawyer” look no further than John Calcagni.

My husband hired Attorney Calcagni to look into a case that two other law firms told him there was nothing that could be done. Attorney Calcagni was very thorough spending numerous hours researching his case. Needless to say he was successful in court with a win. If you need an attorney, we highly recommend you look no further and put your trust in the expertise of Attorney John Calcagni III.

John Calcagni is one of the best criminal defense lawyers! This guy geniously saved my life and my career as a state worker! I was referred to Attorney John L. Calcagni when no other lawyers in Rhode Island seemed like they could possibly really help me out with my case after getting caught on video by doing something really stupid. After consulting with many different lawyers that did not meet my expectations; John was my only hope. Therefore, my father and I decided to go to his office for consultation. My family and I were in a panic and a very stressful situation that could possibly jeopardize my life and my job; to cease our concern John agreed to receive us and spoke to us without any appointment which I know any other lawyer would never done. As we expected John Calcagni took my stress away as soon as I walked in and the burden of my case to a level I could have ever imagined, he put it to rest.  I thought I was screwed until I went to his office and that was the best decision my family and I made. I was charged with 2 counts of disorderly conduct, suspended from my job with no pay. Ultimately, because of his great reputation, his impressive talent, his extraordinary skills, his vigilant experience, his deep knowledge about the justice system, and his outstanding effort, John Calcagni was successfully able to get my case dismissed and sealed from public record, also able to help me get my job back while the president of the union of my job could do shit for me.  John is a very caring professional human being. I don't see him as a lawyer but instead as a special friend protector that will always be there for me and my family against the system. My family and I are very proud of the choice we made to have John Calcagni as our lawyer. If you really want to win your case of any kind, well this is your guy period. And I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a very great lawyer.

I retained the Law Office of John Calcagni to assist me in a criminal case. When I first met John, he was very attentive and direct as to what we needed to do. He introduced me to his associate, Leah and she walked me through the rest of the process. This office was on top of everything and extremely easy to contact with any questions. Leah was very knowledgeable and the end result was that the charges ended up being dismissed. I can’t recommend them enough, they were great through this very stressful process.

While I was facing serious allegations, the Law offices of John Calcagni more than satisfied me as a client. John’s great team comforted me, and stayed heavily in contact with me during this tough time that I thought I was alone. From answering 100’s of my calls, to showing up to unexpected violations, John’s office showed me great support. They did a phenomenal job in the court room. In the court room you could defiantly see the experience that the Law offices of John Calcagni hold. I was charged with 8 serious offenses that hold a lengthy jail time. The law office of John Calcagni managed to get every count dismissed. I would highly recommend the Law office of John Calcagni!
