Member at Sarro & Sarro PLLC
February 16, 2010 (Patrick Michael Megaro worked
with Mark Sarro in the military): Patrick Megaro is a highly skilled, dedicated
legal professional that is unafraid of venue or adversary when protecting his
client's rights and enforcing the protections afforded citizens by the laws of
the United States of America and the individual states in which they reside.
Thoroughly versed in the administrative maze we call the NY criminal court
system, as well as the systems of many other jurisdictions in America, I have
personally watched him direct lesser skilled individuals to their destinations,
so they could argue their case. He leads by example, successfully supervises
subordinates and obtains positive outcomes for his clients. Pat knows firsthand
that in order to win a legal proceeding, you not only need the right approach
but it has to be delivered on time and on point. Simply stated, he is a winner
in a profession where 50% of the personnel who practice that profession are
required to lose. It is a pleasure to recommend him. As a military officer,
Patrick has demonstrated the uncanny ability to take complicated tasks, dissect
them to their essential components and devise a strategy and schedule for their
timely and successful accomplishment. He is dedicated, loyal, hard working, and
requires little to no supervision. Creative in his approach, Patrick could have
elected to simply practice law in the military; this however is not his style.
At his own request he was given an assignment, well above his pay grade but not
his talent, as the operations officer in one of the five (5) major subordinate
commands in the New York State Defense Forces. His performance, as the saying
goes, is outstanding! Focused in his approach, “rock steady” under pressure,
and imaginative in his thought process, Megaro has earned the respect of his
peers and superiors alike. It is an honor to serve with him.
