Civella Law Firm - Clayton, Missouri

I was facing a felony DWI causing injury charge and needed an attorney who would truly fight for me. After researching my options, I decided to hire Carl Civella, and it was the best decision I could have made.

From day one, Carl dove deep into my case, uncovering critical details that were missed by both the police and insurance companies. Most importantly, he discovered that the other driver—who was initially treated as the victim—was actually under the influence of alcohol at the time of the accident.

Carl then took things a step further, ordering an accident reconstruction that provided undeniable proof that the other driver was at fault. Because of his meticulous work and dedication, he was able to get my charges reduced to misdemeanors and secure a non-conviction sentence upon completion of probation.

Throughout the entire process, Carl and his team kept me informed, reassured, and prepared for every step. His experience, attention to detail, and strong legal relationships make him the best attorney you could ask for. If you need someone who will fight for you and leave no stone unturned, Carl Civella is the attorney to call.

I highly recommend Mr. Civella for anyone seeking help with legal representation. Facing a complicated situation with an out of state case, Mr. Civella was able to advise on interactions between Illinois and Missouri law in a clear, easy to understand, and courteous approach. He was very responsive during my case, and took ample time to address any concerns or issues that I faced. I am *very* thankful that he was able to secure a favorable outcome for me to allow me to keep my license so that I can continue to be a caregiver for aging parents. If you are looking for an excellent attorney who will work hard for you, please don't hesitate to call Mr. Civella.

Carl Livella and his team were amazing to work with. I received a DWI about 6 months ago and was looking for an attorney. I had already contacted several attorney's when I saw Carl's reviews and decided to give him a call. He set up an appointment right away and I went to his office to discuss my case. After our meeting I knew he was the right person for my case and hired him on the spot.

He guided me through the entire process and always responded immediately to my emails, phone calls and questions. He always kept me updated and informed when he received new information. From the time I originally discussed my case with him, until it was finally adjudicated, he constantly advised me on what I should and shouldn't do as the entire process unfolded.

Prior to, and on my court date he was able to procure a very favorable result which was far better than I could have even hoped for and made the entire process as seamless as possible.

I would highly recommend that if you need to hire a Traffic/DWI Attorney, discuss your case with Carl before you make a decision. You will be very pleased you did. If I could, I would have given him 10 stars.

Mr. Carl Civella's legal expertise and diligence helped me fight a traffic court case, reducing the most punitive charges by being proactive in his investigation and steps to resolve the matter fiercely and swiftly. Mr. Civella understands the local court systems and the Department of Motor Vehicles system and his expert legal knowledge resulted in him tactfully counseling the case.

Thank you, Mr. Civella, for handling my case professionally and contacting me when updates were available to keep me updated about my case. He is efficient in his communication, so although the wheels of justice can be slow, he would let me know when there were any updates, movements, and actions throughout the process to resolve the case. Indeed, he stayed true to his word and always took the time to follow up with me whenever there were updates, recommendations, and movement on my case, which in turn helped me to complete needed tasks and be ready on my end so that the case could be resolved as quickly as possible.

Mr. Civella paid precise attention to detail when advocating for my case and explained to me the steps he would take and took throughout. He showed up to court for me, and when I had to appear, he gave the needed counsel advice to navigate the process and helped advocate for my case with the prosecutor so that the court date went smoothly, professionally, and efficiently.

I'm very thankful and grateful I chose the right attorney in Mr. Civella. I hope never to have another criminal court matter moving forward, but I would choose Mr. Civella again without hesitation! I recommend him 100% for legal representation and referral support for any legal issues because I trust his honesty, legal judgment, knowledge, and networks within the court system.
