  So choosing a lawyer can be very stressful given any circumstances especially when the FBI comes knocking. And after talking with other lawyers and then talking with Lorraine it was not a question I was gonna go with her and her team at LGR law. She made me feel comfortable and in good hands the whole time and not pushy. Extremely fair priced and not just after my money. I feel like she actually took to heart my interests and doing what was best for me. Again can’t say better things about them at LGR law I highly recommend them

  Ms Gauli-Rufo is such a wonderful lawyer. I felt so comfortable with her and her staff. She took her time with my case and I would recommend her law firm to anyone seeking an attorney. If you want an honest lawyer as well as someone who has integrity…I recommend LGR Law.

We here at LGR Law Group wish all of you a healthy, happy and safe New Year in 2024. We also looked back to 2023 and reviewed the many successful resolutions that we were able to obtain for our clients. We are grateful we were able to help so many people last year who were charged with federal crimes in New York and New Jersey (as well as some clients charged with New Jersey State matters). We have set forth some of our successes below, which include many of our clients’ receiving substantial downward variances at sentencing, to the outright dismissal of charges. In 2024 we will continue to fight the fight – helping people who are charged or threatened with federal criminal matters. We will continue to dedicate our efforts to seeking and/or obtaining the best resolutions for our clients. At LGR Law Group, we fight for your rights and protect your freedom.
