Best Lawyer; high integrity

Mr. Habachy sucessfully represented our teenage son in a complicated criminal defense case.  Mind you, he was the third defense lawyer on our case. The previous attorney adamantly told my family that a plead was the best deal.  The plead, would have resulted in 10 years imprisonment and 10 years prob...ation. You can't imagine the pain and agony our family went through unless you have traveled down such a road. Mr. Habachy was God sent. He told us he would take the case and do everything he could to unravel the mess our son was up against.  I tell you, the case suddenly went into motion. We had more traction then ever.  Mr. Habachy was there every step of the way.  He provided the right level of details needed to make an informed, but yet difficult decisions. We were grateful for his sound professional guidance. He kept us level headed given our emotional turmoil, and we never felt rushed or pressured to come up with life changing decisions on the fly. He provided key facts that would make or break the case and was extremely knowledgeable and diligent about the ins and outs of the case. He followed through on every milestone and ensured nothing was missed.  Our perception is that Mr. Habachy represented our son as if he was his.  Even if the outcome would have been unfavorable, we were extremely satisfied with Mr. Habachy representation.  Thanks be to God, Mr. Habachy won the case and our son came home.  Like I say to my husband, I will say to you "every family needs a Joe Habachy for times like these.

Joseph S. Habachy Goes Above and Beyond

In summer 2015 I was charged with a misdemeanor which -- though a very minor offense on the surface -- could have easily impacted my livelihood, my ability to seek gainful employment in the future in my field (education). The evidence was straight-forward, and I expected (and prepared for) the worst.... Mr. Habachy contacted the Solicitor General of the county in which the offense occurred. He explained my situation: how devastating it would be for a such a petty offense on my criminal record to almost certainly keep me from being hired as a teacher ever again. Through a plea negotiation, the Solicitor General agreed to dismiss the charges if I paid a fine, took an education course, and served 40 hours of community service. This was a completely unexpected, virtually miraculous outcome. I never believed the charges could be completely dropped, as I had already used a First Offender status plea for a case of bad judgment back in college. Throughout his representation, Mr. Habachy was in constant contact with me via email and cell phone (calls and texts). I was always up-to-date on where my case was, each phase as it unfolded, what time and when I needed to be in court. After my plea agreement, he even followed up with me mid-way through my time limit to check in and see that I was completing my community service and the required coursework. And in a final gesture of professionalism and flexibility, when the date came for my charges to be dismissed in court, Mr. Habachy arranged for me to be represented in absentia, as I had undertaken new employment in Tucson, Arizona by that time and would have had hardship trying to return to Georgia for a very short court appearance.

Dedication

I've dealt with a lot of Lawyers throughout my life, but it wasn't until I met with Joe Habachy I experienced REAL dedication from an attorney. His knowledge of law and his sincerness to each case is the most appreciative aspects I find of Joe Habachy character. Joe gave me honest opinions and did hi...s due deligence on every matter. There's no other defense attorney that I'd rather deal with. I can even call on Joe for other matters and his right there to answer the call full attention.. For that I thank him... My family thanks him and when you met and hire Joe I guarantee you'll be thanking him too!!!

An Extraordinary Man with Impeccable Integrity

In February of 2000, my personal actions and poor judgement had landed myself into quite a handful of trouble. Trouble enough to "lend" my life to the state for a good 8-11 years! At least, that was what the prosecutor was recommending. And to be quite frank, I would have deserved every bit of it. W...hat I had become involved with completely defied the way in which my parents raised me to be. Yet, the lure of easy money and drugs were too much for the young man I once was. I simply could not walk away from it. I hedged my bets - and the world came crashing down - in the form of a team of narcotic officers assisted with the DEA. Throughout all the fearful nights and uncertainties of what my outcome would be, Joe was there every single step of the way. He was always straightforward and brutally honest (especially with my family) about what the outcome could be. We all hoped and prayed for the best, but expected to land somewhere (at least a little bit) above the worst. And when that fateful day landed...... the sentence was truly undeserving of what should have been. I am blessed. So much so, that what Joe made happen in that courtroom that day, forever changed my life. Fast forward fifteen years later: I have a beautiful family and own a very successful business. Not to mention that my criminal history is felony free. I would absolutely recommend Joe Habachy as a first choice in attorneys.
