Top notch criminal defense attorney

I was set to be charged with several felonies but Joe got out on front of my case and these weapon related felonies were not included in the charges. The felony I was charged with,manufacture of a controlled substance, not an easy charge to a judge or D.A. to overlook, Joe convinced them to allow a p...lea down to a misdemeanor possession charge. If you need a criminal defense attorney Joe is who you want. He is confident and personable and puts you at ease immediately. He has been doing criminal defense for a long time and is well connected and respected. Upon first meeting him he told me how he expected my case to be resolved and it played out exactly as he said. If you need a criminal defense attorney you can do no better than Joseph D'Andrea.

Life changing

Joe was an excellent attorney, very thorough responsive and answered any and all questions I had. I would not be where I am right now if it wasn’t for this genuine, hard fighting man. I can’t thank him enough for what he’s done for me. No questions asked I would call Joe for any of my legal needs. Th...anks Joe!

Fiercely sharp defender

Joseph D'Andrea has been the best attorney in my defense that I could possibly ask for. Joseph effected a judgment that provided a track in which my offense could be expunged. I have witnessed Joseph completely tear down a law enforcement officer's testimony with expert interrogation which led to m...y acquittal. Joseph not only defended me. He gave me sound hard advice coupled with strict expectations of my improved behavior and actions. In short, Joseph is the complete package; an extremely skilled lawyer, one that fights hard to defend his client, and someone who guides you towards both positive legal and personal outcomes.

Excellent Attorney-The Best

Hiring my attorney Joseph D’Andrea was the best possible decision that I could have ever made! As soon as I had my first meeting with him, I just knew he was the right decision for me. He had my upmost best interest for my case. He kept me informed every step of the way throughout my case with no wor...ries at all. I was honest, he was honest with me. When steps were happening with my case, he was so intense and fierce to his opponent, that I just felt secure with everything in my case. I had some more serious charges, in the end, they were dropped to a summary. I couldn’t ask for better attorney!! Highly recommend Joseph D’Andrea for representation.
