Best lawyer in town

So I caught a drug case in 2019 hired a lawyer from Philly had a lot to loose was doing good at the time of my arrest and continued too while out on bail that lawyer was laid of from his firm due to COVID but he had managed to knock all my drug charges down to a m3 paraphernalia but the da refused to... recommend anything and with my record that could have held a 1 to 2 upstate so I was recommended joe bye a friend of mine so I set up a consultation and joe did his thing was precise listens cared about who I was as a person and thought he could do better and he did very knowledgable made me feel comfortable and prepared the whole way kept me informed and every move he was making which ended in the D.A not only recommending probation but immediate sentencing which got me no time couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer very professional

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.

Client

I Manuel hired Joe D’andrea as my attorney for drug trafficking I had huge case and was very scared while I was incarcerated he cane in with full confidence I told him the truth on everything (no lies will help he needs to know everything) and he got me out within a month on pre trial release and I ...was out for two years for him to do his job I patiently waited listened to everything he told me to do my case was a 10 year minimum and due to my preferred attorney I was able to walk away with 24 months and a chance for drug program that takes a year off he is amazing I hope I won’t ever have to use another attorney again but if I did he would be the first one to call and his price on whatever case it is is honestly very acceptable we all know we committed a crime and we all have consequences and most of us are not bad people just made a bad choice he does not judge you how you are he only works for the best of what you and your family needs I recommend don’t think twice on him just hire him if you need the help I know what I’m telling you HE is AMAZING!! I want to thank from the bottom of my heart and from my family our new attorney and new family friend Joe D’Andrea I could not be any happier with his work may GOD BLESS Him and his family.

The miracle man

I'm very happy and grateful for Hiring Mr. Joseph R. D'Andrea. He successfully negotiated a plea agreement at the hearing, that resulted in only a fine, with no loss of my driving privilege. After I was pulled over for a speeding violation, where they searched my rental car; and found under an ounce ...of marijuana, some "pot" brownies, and paraphernalia for smoking. If you need a miracle, this is the Attorney you want to hire.
