Joseph P. Nahas Jr.

I was facing charges for simple assault, harassment, and disorderly conduct, and I honestly didn't know what to expect. From the moment I hired this attorney, I knew I was in good hands. His knowledge of criminal defense law is exceptional, and he explained everything to me in a way that was easy to ...understand.What impressed me most was his skill and confidence. He never wavered, never seemed uncertain, and always made me feel like he had complete control of my case. When we went to trial, he was absolutely commanding in the courtroom. His confidence was contagious—it helped calm my nerves during what was one of the most stressful experiences of my life.The result speaks for itself: the jury came back with a not guilty verdict in about five minutes of deliberation. That's how clear-cut his defense was. He dismantled the prosecution's case so thoroughly that the jury didn't need any time to decide.If you're looking for an amazing criminal defense attorney who truly knows what he's doing and has the confidence and skill to back it up, I cannot recommend him highly enough. He fought for me and delivered results. I am forever grateful.

Should you ever encounter an unfortunate instance where the law alleges that you have run afoul of right and wrong, I highly recommend Attorney Nahas. I was faced with not only an alleged felony firearms charge, but incredulously so due to multiple errors and deliberate omissions of information in th...e criminal complaint issued by the arresting officer. Attorney Nahas not only listened thoroughly to the details of the illegal search that occurred and formulated a plan of engagement almost immediately upon retention vis a vis his extensive knowledge and decades of successful experience in law, but was also able to reach an agreement with prosecution that a third-degree felony firearms possession charge (upon which I could have faced multiple years in prison for) was reduced to a summary-offense disorderly conduct with a minimal fine of $25. Should your rights ever be violated during a criminal proceeding, or you make an honest mistake and need appropriate, concrete representation by an articulate and knowledgeable attorney that will fight for you—look no further than Joseph Nahas and pursue the issue head-on with confidence. Joe is the right choice.

Mr. Nahas was the absolute best decision we ever made!! He starts fighting for you right at the preliminary hearing. No nonsense. I had made an appointment with another attorney but he couldn't take the time to call me to answer a few questions prior to our meeting. Mr. Nahas and Shirley always t...ake the time to call and talk about any concerns. If your child is in trouble, please reach out to Mr. Nahas. He is worth it!

After being criminally charged with multiple felonies, and misdemeanors, I knew there was only one attorney I could turn to if I wanted a chance at my life back, and that was attorney Nahas. My story is as follows: From the beginning, Joe did not sugarcoat the alleged charges. He sat with myself and ...my family to explain the severity of the charges and his game plan. Fromm the beginning, Joe weighed in on his opinion of the most likely outcome, which wasn't great, but better than the alternative. Unfortunately, the legal process and court proceedings were not going in my favor, despite Joe communicating on my behalf behind the scenes. The time came months later where it was decided that my fate would have to be decided by a jury at trial. From that moment forward, Joe worked relentlessly with my myself and my family, trying to determine the best way to navigate this horrible situation. It was time to pick jurors. Joe explained the process to me thoroughly and trusted my judgement as well as his own. He even set up a 2.5 hour appointment on the weekend on his own time, to coordinate with my work schedule. We went into detail about the events that happened and we didn't leave his office until every question I had was answered. Months worth of brain racking questions, he answered before I could even ask them. The next day, 1 day before we went to trial, we had another meeting to tie up any loose ends, that day in particular, confirmed what I had been thinking all along. I chose the right attorney and was confident in that. Joe knew my story inside and out, the events that took place and a strategy, better than I did myself! On top of that, there was a rare situation that occurred that we had been trying to avoid in order to have a fair trial. Joe stuck his neck out for me and explained that what he attempted to do in order to get a fair trial, would most likely stain his reputation at the court house with some of the relationships he had made over the years with court officials. Fast forward to trial day. It was suppose to last 1 day. Joe was again very knowledgeable of my side of the case, but also extremely diligent and persistent in his cross examination of witnesses. Joe thought quickly on his feet to some unexpected points that were being made. The trial did not end on that day. We just spent 8 hours in court, hardly anything to eat and within an hour of leaving the court house, Joe is calling me to spend another 3-4 hours WORKING on preparations for the next day. We went over specifics and buttoned up what needed to be until late at night. The next morning with hardly any sleep, Joe went to WORK again for 8 more hours at trial, during which time, he was fighting relentlessly, not only by questioning witnesses, but by demanding the judge take into consideration the law, by citing several pages from a law book. It came down to what I believe was Joe's closing arguments to the jurors, getting up close and personal with them explaining the facts and the charges and how they don't align, that I was proven NOT guilty on all accounts. The emotion that he put into those closing arguments and the huge sigh of relief when they said NOT guilty, made me even more emotional than I already was, knowing how invested Joe was in this case and I knew that he put his all into defending my freedom. This was not just another case for him, he was just as emotional as my family, friends and myself after hearing the verdict. In addition, after the trial concluded, Joe called me and we spent another 30 mins talking/congratulating each other, that shows character and how invested he was! I am forever thankful for the determination, intelligence, and most of all work ethic of Joe Nahas. His staff, Shirley & Anne are wonderful as well and keep you updated each step of the way and remind you of upcoming dates. They are professional and always get back to you after calling! If you find yourself in trouble, this is the man/staff you want to represent you!

I was a police officer facing criminal charges after a nasty divorce involving many accusations. My previous attorney told me I should just settle and take a plea deal. A police officer friend referred me to Attorney Joe Nahas and told me that Joe would fight. And fight he did, from day 1 Joe dove... into this case and was 100% honest about everything. I have been around court rooms and lawyers for many years working as a cop, and I have never seen a defense attorney on the level of Joe Nahas. He is extremely intelligent, has an excellent work ethic, and truly cares about your case. Joe is a tough fighter and will go the distance with you. My case went on for a long time due to Covid 19, and he was there every step of the way. Joe was well prepared for trial and knew the case inside and out. Joe handles himself extremely well in the court room and he is well respected. His cross examination skills are the best I've seen. Ultimately I was found Not Guilty on all charges and was able to clear my name and resume life thanks to Joe. His staff is incredible and always gave me updates throughout the process. Anytime I called, I was greeted kindly and my thoughts were always important to them. With their support, it allowed us to prepare extremely well, its a winning team at Nahas Law !
