I truly can't speak highly enough of Mr.Civella. The outcome of my case was the best achievable outcome. As a first time offender, it was intimidating having to handle finding a lawyer on top of the stress an impending DUI may add, and I looked to the reviews to make my decision, and I was not disappointed. Mr.Civella was kind and thorough in our introduction, which alleviated some of my worry; I was able to walk out of that meeting knowing that I was in good hands. A phrase that was commonly touted to me over the course of the case was that Mr.Civella was going to 'fight for me' and go the distance and I see now just how true that is. It was evident to me that he takes each and every job seriously, and takes a personal interest in his clients. I would recommend Mr.Civella to anyone needing to seek counsel, I can't stress enough how great of an attorney and how outstanding a man Mr.Civella is.

Carl Civella is very professional, sincere and will do whatever is in his power to help you with your particular situation and resolve your case. Having just a one time upfront fee was reassuring knowing that I would not be getting additional billings and fees during this process. Many large firms do not operate in this manner and are far more expensive and less personable. He kept me informed of the progression of my case at all times and did an excellent job in resolving my situation.

I found Carl online when I needed help with a traffic ticket. I filled out an online questionnaire and he contacted me the next day! He is extremely personable, knowledgeable, maintained constant contact with me informing me of every step he was taking to help me out. He answered every off the wall question I had and always made me feel like I was in capable hands. And I was! He got everything taken care of and worth every penny spent! I would recommend him to anybody who has any traffic issue. Truly an incredible lawyer.

Can't recommend Carl enough! He worked closely with me on all of my cases, always kept me in the loop, and scored some very favorable outcomes. Prosecutors and judges alike had nothing but good things to say about him, and I understand why. Attorney fees were very reasonable, especially considering the alternative. Even after my case had concluded, Carl was available to answer questions, and to clear up some confusion with a particular jurisdiction. I can't recommend his services enough, there's good reason why he's one of the top results on Google!

A while back, I ran afoul of the police in Jefferson County, Missouri. You guess it: DUI. Carl Civilla was very understanding and helped me through the entire process. Although this was a second offense in Missouri, Carl was able to get me off the hook with very minimal probation and almost no fine. I understand that Carl practices DUI defense in St. Louis City and County, Jefferson County, and St. Charles County. If you need a lawyer for drunk driving or any other offense, I would not hesitate to contact the Cavilla Law Firm. Carl Civilla is the best lawyer in St. Louis.

Never having had a ticket in my life, a DUI with the potential charges scared me completely. Because I had never had any reason to need a lawyer in my past, I scanned the local Illinois firms and read the reviews to help determine who to call. I thank my lucky stars for finding Carl Civella's reviews! They were so good, I decided to call him. At our very first meeting, he put me at ease and helped guide me in all I needed to do for the best potential outcome. His continued follow up calls and letters to help ensure I understood and completed what was needed on my part and his presence on my behalf in court did indeed result the best outcome to my case. If I ever need a lawyer or any of my family or friends need a lawyer, I will definitely be calling Mr. Civella.

When I called Carl, he set me at ease immediately. This being my first experience with anything like this, it was nice to hear positive feedback with really good explanations of what to expect and what his focus would be. As time went on Carl kept me well informed every step of the way and the result was better than I hoped for. That being said, I would recommend Carl Civella to anyone that finds themselves in need of a good attorney.

I?ll start off by saying Carl is probably the best attorney in St. Louis. My family and I have been clients of his for many years. I have had more incidents than I can count and Carl has taken care of every one. There hasn?t been a single case that didn?t work out in my favor. He is very professional, friendly, keeps you up to date throughout the entire case and explains the situation and potential troubles that could arise. He recently worked my DWI case that was in Warren county and I am very pleased with the outcome. He informed me from the start that he was not very familiar with warren county and heard that the prosecuting attorney was a bit strict but he would do everything he could. He was able to reach a plea agreement to keep the DWI off my record and dismiss the one year license revocation. I can?t speak on price because I have never used any other attorney but for the work that he has provided, I truly believe that he is very fair and worth every penny. I trust Carl with any sort of trouble I get into and for that, I always have his card in my wallet and give them out to anyone I know who needs an attorney. I have sent all my friends to him and will continue to do so. Highly recommend Mr. Civella

I received a DUI in Illinois around June of 21. I have never gone down this road and I was pretty scared to say the least... I live in Las Vegas and was disheartened and worried I wouldn?t be able to find representation out in Illinois, let alone QUALITY representation. Upon finding Mr. Civella?s firm on the internet I made a few calls (to his firm and some others) but received a prompt response from his staff. That spoke volumes to me and at the end of said phone call I was truly soothed. From the very beginning Mr. Civella himself spoke with me directly (which meant a lot more than I can convey) He also informed me of the processes, potential outcomes, and even kept me hopeful Throughout the few months? long endeavor. He gave me a list of things to complete that could potentially help my outcome and in me doing so, was able to help put this mess behind me. I did not have to travel back to Illinois in person for anything and I am also so grateful for that I cannot stress how worried I was about trying to take care of this out in Illinois while living and working in Vegas. Finding his firm I believe was nothing short of a blessing. At no point did Mr. Civella seem inadequate or unresponsive to my questions or concerns, and I wish more lawyers operated as he does I greatly wish he practiced in my state as I would happily recommend him to every person I know. Thank you Mr. Civella AND TEAM ??

I recently was pulled over for speeding in Frontenac at a very high speed. All the lawyers I called said that Frontenac is very strict on traffic tickets and it would be very difficult to get it moved down so no points would be added on my license. Mr. Civella informed me he had much experience with the prosecutor, and that he would be able to help me due to this. Not only that, but he was also the most professional lawyer I called. He explained the most about the procedures, usual outcomes of these situations, and overall provided me the most information compared to others I called. He was slightly more expensive than other lawyers, but he made me feel the most confident that everything was going to be fine and was worth every penny, as he got my ticket moved down to an illegal parking violation and I did not have any points put on my license!

Attorney Civella is a miracle worker. I highly recommend Mr. Civella for any and all minor to significant traffic, DOR, property damage, misdemeanor, felony, or criminal matters. I have had the benefit of using his services on 4 separate legal matters that could have significantly affected my life. In situations where there could have been sentences of several years in prison, on each count, and was scared to death prior to retaining him, Mr. Civella gave me hope and saved our legal lives through his amazing work on multiple criminal cases. Mr. Civella worked magic and brought a successful conclusion. He works diligently on behalf of every client. Carl is conscientious, meticulous, has incredible attention to detail, uses smart lawyering/negotiating, and his relationships within the courts and with judges are invaluable. I could not be more pleased to have received the benefit of his representation and of his unbelievable ability to obtain successful outcomes for his clients. I HIGHLY recommend Carl Civella.

When you require legal services, you are likely stressed. The first thing you?ll notice about Carl is that he will immediately put you at ease. He is very personable and will clearly communicate what course of action he thinks you should take, being open and honest about possible outcomes. He will afford you the freedom to ask as many questions as you deem necessary to feel comfortable with your situation. Most importantly, you can trust that his actions will match his words. He will professionally and efficiently stay on top of your case, communicating with you as necessary. Personally, Carl brought my case to a highly favorable conclusion and did so for those that I referred to him as well.

Carl has successfully represented and defended many of our family and friends with motor vehicle-related violations over the past three decades. He is supremely knowledgeable with respect to local and state laws and regulations, and maintains excellent relationships with the prosecutors, having earned solid credibility through their trust and respect. Carl is extremely professional, courteous and expeditious.

After talking with several lawyers, Carl put our minds at ease during our troubling time. He was very supportive, and did an excellent job of representation. He kept in communication and let us know the pros and cons of all steps along the way. I would highly recommend his services.

Mr. Civella is an absolute professional who handled my case with empathy, understanding, and compassion. Upon meeting with him, I knew right away that I could place my trust in him. He clearly outlined his plan of approach to my case and followed through with his actions. He was able to obtain the best deal possible for my case within a short period of time. He is very transparent and was available to answer any questions I had, keeping me updated throughout the process. I highly recommend Mr. Civella as he takes a personal interest in your case and works hard to ensure you are satisfied with the results. I was very pleased with the results and will definitely be keeping his contact information in case I should need his services in the future. Thank you for everything Carl!

I met Carl Civella 29 years ago thru a friend at DAVE N BUSTER'S. It was like we were friends for life then and we are lifetime friends now. I got his card that day and a 2 month's later I needed a Lawyer! I call Carl and Carl was the most professional Lawyer I ever met. He handled my incident in no time and took care of it professionally. He handled several more me, a couple for my family and a he even took care of a couple of my friends. If you have a legal issue? Call Carl!! If Carl can't take care of your legal issue, it can't be taken care. He is the BEST! Everyone I ever referred to Carl will say the same. Call Carl and you won't have to worry about your legal issue again.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level
- Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?

Credentials
- How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?

Cost
- How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?

City
- Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
