In 2013, he was named a "Top 40 under 40" trial attorney in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania by the National Trial Lawyers organization. That same year he was inducted into the prestigious Academy of Trial Lawyers of Allegheny County, an invitation-only group limited to 250 active members.

In addition to his academic responsibilities at the Thomas R. Kline's School of Law of 麻豆直播, Giglione frequently lectures at various Continuing Legal Education courses, serving as course faculty for the Pennsylvania Bar Institute, the Pennsylvania Association for Justice, the University of Pittsburgh Consortium Ethics Program, and the Allegheny County Bar Association. In 2012, he lectured at the annual Pennsylvania Conference of State Trial Judges (an annual conference attended by most Courts of Common Pleas judges, as well as judges from the Pennsylvania Superior Court and justices of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court) about elder abuse and neglect in nursing homes.

Giglione is licensed to practice law in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia. He is a member of the Allegheny County Bar Association, the West Virginia Bar Association, the Ohio State Bar Association, the Academy of Trial Lawyers of Allegheny County, The Western Pennsylvania Trial Lawyers Association (formerly sitting on its Board of Governors), The Pennsylvania Association for Justice, and the American Association for Justice.
