A relentless advocate
Faced with a serious Federal legal issue, I was fortunate enough to connect with a relentless advocate in Joe D'Andrea. He guided and advised me from day one all the way to the best possible resolution. Today, years later, I am proud to call Joe a good friend, as well as a trusted attorney.

Review
In a position where I feared jail time, Mr D’Andrea did his best to keep me out. From haggling with the court to keep me updated on the case status, I always felt confident about my defense. Best lawyer in PA.

Job well done
Atty D’Andrea was easy to talk to about the situation. He gave me his advice and what he thought he could do and how he thought it would conclude. In the end, he was correct and I was relieved.

Don't Trust Him.
Attorney D'Andrea sold me a bill of goods. Like many of his reviews on 'google': he sells himself confidently, but does not deliver. As noted by other, once you pay him he's never available nor does he take a serious interest in you or your case. For him, it's about the money and not about the client...
"If you need a criminal defense attorney in Northeastern Pennsylvania, you could not do better than to use Joe D'Andrea."
