I was referred to Joe thru a mutual friend when I was going thru a crisis in need of an unexpected criminal defense. If it was not for Joe, and his expertise/resources to help me so proficiently with background checks to support my case - the result in my case could have been much worse . I owe many thanks to this qualified personable man who took the time to navigate and represent me superbly. All criminal charges were dropped and I owe this terrific guy many thanks. I would refer any locals finding them selves in need for legal matters to Joe 100%.

My husband & I used Joe when we were purchasing our first home this past summer. Joe was in constant communication with us, making sure all of our questions & concerns were heard and answered. Though the process of buying a house can be overwhelming, our experience with Joe made all the difference. He made the process as simple as possible, helping us every step of the way.

I was ticketed on the Taconic while moving to Virginia. Needless to say, I did not want to make the trip back up to NY to fight the charges! Joe represented me in court and succeeded in getting my charges and fine reduced. He communicated effectively throughout the process, which I appreciated greatly as I dealt with settling in to a new city.

Joseph is a knowledgable lawyer who takes the time to explain things in a way that's immediately understandable. Anytime I have a contract to sign, I send it over to Joseph to take a look because I know he has my best interest in mind and he'll be able to give me a picture of what exactly I'm signing, which always makes me breathe a little easier. I'm looking forward to continuing to have Joseph as my legal counsel.

A Great Lawyer To Work With

In the process of getting my house and when came down to finding a lawyer, Joe Buno was the first person that came to mind to handle the job. As first time homeowner he was available to answer all my questions and most of all able to accommodate my crazy work schedule to meet up and get the job done in a timely manner. While we had few bumps in the process, Joe was there to make sure things were handled in a respectful manner. His friendly personality and knowledge of law made things easier and reassuring for my wife and I, that things are well taken care of. If you need a lawyer, I would highly recommend Joe for your legal need.

I can't even express how lucky I am to have met Joe. He helped me out tremendously with a huge out of state speeding ticket and I would probably have had to pay a fortune in fines and gotten many more points on my license if he hadn't been there for me. Great communication with quick responses. The best!
