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.

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.

Best attorney around

Mr. Nahas is absolutely the best attorney around. I was on my second dui in 7 years and was a complete mess with sorry. Joe accepted my case and spoke with me. He was very upfront and explained all of the possible consequences, which scared the he'll out of me Joe then provided the very best ad...vise and really took the time to make sure I would receive the best outcome in my situation. He and Shirley showed me that they both really care about their clients and are truly concerned with the outcome. Thanks to Joe I received the minimal amount of punishment allowable which was time served due to inpatient treatment and a fine. I can never express my gratitude to both Joe and Shirley for the help they provided and the patience and compassion they showed to me. I highly recommend Joe to anyone who finds themselves in any situation. They both are truly the best.

Not enough stars

To start, there aren't enough stars to show my gratitude to Joseph and his staff. To start, he came to see me in the jail to get my side of the story. From there I knew I wanted him to defend me. Going into the office for the first time, we met Shirley. She is Joseph's right hand woman, and a VER...Y valuable part of his team. She made me feel like I was family, and that there was nothing to worry about. She assured me that she and Joseph will fight tooth and nail for me, and she was very sympathetic towards my situation. I can't praise her enough. On to Joseph, he's a pitbull. From minute one, he hunkered down, dug his toes in, and started pressing forward. Fact by fact, video by video, and listening to my side, we built the case. We endured a few set backs up front, which he predicted from prior knowledge of judges. He's a human vaccum of law.... He was very aggressive towards the PSP and the DA's witnesses. When it came to the jury trial, be bestowed upon the jurors all of our truths, and all of their lives. He pinned them down like no other. Thanks to him, we beat 9 charges from attempted murder to harassment. It took 14 months, but we got it done. I'm a free man thanks to the truth, Attorney Nahas, and Shirley. I also had a great support system made up of family and TRUE friends. I'll never get back those 14 mos that a scumbag took from me and my family, but Joseph assured a new start in life. As many thanks that I can muster up go to him. THANK YOU !!!!!!!
