Joseph R. D'Andrea

Never being in trouble before like a lot of people I had no idea what to do and hired a terrible local attorney (GrahamShowalter) and what a mistake. Wasted thousands for an idiot that did nothing but try to get me a plea to something I was completely innocent of. When I knew it was going to trial I ...hired Joe on and from day one I knew I had a guy that was gonna fight for me, and when it came to the trial he embarrassed the DA and the lying cops and exposed it all for the jury to see. He knew the case in and out and humiliated the other side, it was like the 27 murders row Yankees vs a local softball team. Jury deliberated for less than an hr and I got my life back. I could have lost everything had it not been for Joe D’Andrea, if u hire Joe you got the best there is.

From the 1st moment we spoke with Joe, he made us feel safe and unlike other attorney's he always told us the truth. Joe worked hard for almost 2 years and was always prepared and delivered everything he said he would. Joe came through for our family and we are forever grateful. He fights hard for h...is clients. You can trust Joe!

I was charged with several violent offenses ranging from aggravated assault, battery, simple assault and strangulation. However, the worst charge was a felony one burglary, which was legally indefensible given the only witness to the crime testified in court. At first the assistant attorney general w...as unwilling to make a deal with my lawyer, Joe D'Andrea, nevertheless Joe persisted and simply stated the truth that I was under a severe psychosis and had a history of mental illness that should be taken into account. Although I'm not exactly sure how he did it, he convinced the judge presiding over my case to allow me to be brought to an in-patient rehabilitation center in Florida where I was given the proper treatment for my condition. With consistent therapy and a comprehensive medical protocol, I was then considered stable enough to return to my home state. After arriving home, I was ordered to serve house arrest, which is a far more advantageous outcome than fighting my charges from the county jail. After a little over a year of house arrest, Joe successfully liberated me from house arrest restoring some of my autonomy. Even though we are all afflicted by the pandemic, being able to leave my home at my leisure was an invaluable freedom and I'm grateful for having it returned to me. Finally, after 189 days of incarceration and over a year of house arrest the assistant attorney general and my lawyer's deal was accepted by the judge. Joe did a great job, he negotiated my aggravated assault down to a simple assault and got me out of jail despite some very grave charges. The burglary was unavoidable but the deal counted my time served of two years toward a seven year term of probation, instead of a potential five year plus sentence in a state penitentiary. With two and a half years of good behavior I can appeal for an early termination of my probation which is a goal of mine. There are other aspects of my probation like therapy, NA meetings and a strict adherence to being sober but this is all within my power to do. Considering all the damage done to my family, a good samaritan and myself, this is a great avenue for healing.

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.

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.
