An attorney you can trust.

I hired attorney nahas for 2 cases, one in which is still pending. I represented myself pro se and entered a guilty plea for one count of resisting arrest which could very well have possibly sent me to state prison due to my prior record score. As soon as i sat down to discuss the matter with him he ...was right on the phone calling multiple people trying to figure this case out. It was very beneficial he had a plea deal arranged for me at sentencing after i withdrew the original plea i agreed to. 3 felonies and various misdemeanors were dropped and i plead out to 1 summary and a $100 fine. Awesome. The nature of the charges i still have pending are very serious and can very well put me away until my 18 month old daughter is old enough to be getting married. However knowing i have a good team that has my back to represent me gives me a little bit of peace of mind and allows me to get a little bit of rest at night sometimes. I would never recommend another attorney. Years ago i hired an attorney for the same cost for the retainer and he did absolutely nothing to fight for me. I was put in jail for 5 months for an underage drinking charge and scheduled for court on a saturday (obviously there is no such thing as court on a saturday). And it took 5 months for him to even make an attempt to discuss the matter with the district attorney. That is certainly not the case with Mr. Nahas. And also his assistant shirley is a very kind person and always on top of everything 100%. If youre going to hire an attorney look no further.

Saved my life

I made a small mistake one night that was alcohol related and the police went crazy with the charges. 5 felonies, 4 misdemeanors and a bunch of citations. First time I was in trouble with the law and was terrified. Attorney Nahas explained everything to me and went to work. Got it down to 1 year of p...robation and a $100 fine. There are only 2 people in the world I trust my life with and one of them is attorney Nahas. Nahas and his team are top notch professional people.

Good Lawyer

Good lawyer. He kept me updated during the entire process which took longer due to the covid pandemic. Would recommend him highly.

Very professional and honest

Mr. Nahas is the lawyer that you want to represent you, I can tell you this now. In 2019, my life was in a downward spiral and I got 2 DUI’s in less then a year and thought for sure that I was going to jail. I heard of how professional that Joe was but never had him as an attorney, I brought all m...y paperwork to Joe and he was brutally honest right from the start, he had told me how I was looking at jail time and how I needed to straighten my life out in order to stay out of jail, after talking to him I admitted myself to an inpatient rehab and I haven’t looked back. After I got out of rehab, I had my hearings and Joe and his paralegal, Shirley, were on the ball with everything and I mean everything. Joe is a very confident lawyer and makes you feel just as confident when he represents you, I had both of my hearings in the last two months and I am proud to say that because of Joe, I am sober for over 9 months and get to stay at home and raise my daughter as opposed to being in jail. I see Joe from time to time at church and he is just as nice. Great lawyer and great man.

Got me out of a deep hole

Attorney Nahas is a life saver, his professionalism is outstanding. I went to him with a long list of charges including a felony. Joe worked with the DA's and got my charges plead down to a misdemeanor and a agreement of an ARD program. Joe is extremely knowledgeable and gave me confidence and h...ope through the whole matter and was understanding in my situation. Can't thank enough!
