Forceful Federal Litigator

When looking for a Miami federal white collar defense attorney to assist my firm on a big white collar defense case, a friend recommended Joe Nasciemento. What can I say? Joe was fantastic! He is extremely compassionate and sincere about his clients, he is a forceful courtroom litigator, and he is ab...le to find compelling solutions to difficult problems. Anyone who is in need of a competent, highly respected defense attorney in South Florida should give Joe a call. I highly recommend Joe Nasciemento!

Intelligent, Knowledgeable, classy, compassionate.

I was falsely accused of a horrible crime and was sent to jail for 20 hours. All the odds where against me, even so I was innocent. At 51 y/o, I had never had a brush with the law and the experience had traumatized me, adding to the fact that I had no idea about my future with a possibility of 1...5 years in prison, my whole life came to a halt. I was living a nightmare that I do not wish on my worst enemy. I was referred to Joe by my boss at the time who had hired Joe's firm with the best possible results Joe is in his early 30's, married and has a son. When I met him, I was taken by how young he was, don't let his young age fool you, he is partner to one of the most prestige and established criminal defense groups in South Florida, being the youngest in a group where all the attorneys are 50's and up , that fact alone speaks volumes about what kind or attorney he is. His presence is strong and stylish. He worked tirelessly to defend me, gave me honest advice, was always available by phone or email, unless he was on trial, but always contacted me as soon as he was available. Thanks to his dedication, knowledge and experience , I was ACQUITTED by a jury on December of 2017 and got my life back. If you are looking for a smart, honest, experienced criminal lawyer with a kind heart, call his office now, you will be very glad you did. I promise.

An angel in disguise!!

It is with a thankful and sincere heart, and with clarity of mind, that I write this review on Mr. Joseph Nascimento. I met Mr. Nascimento when I was going though a desperate time and my legal situation seemed bleak. I had been mistreated,duped, and robbed by an individual who calls himself an atto...rney. Leaving me in a desperate, moneyless, and doomed situation which brought about a great mistrust and the most negative feelings for anyone who practice law. Mr. Nascimento found out about my plight and still agreed to represent me. Within 24 hours, Mr. Nascimento provided more information on my case than the aforementioned individual did in one year of having the case. Mr. Nascimento's professionalism, efficiency, and great people skills gave me a renewed hope for my case and for the many honest professionals in the practice of the law. Mr. Nascimento's efforts and dedication brought about the best possible outcome for my case. In spite of battling a Criminal Justice System, which is not necessarily always just. He succeeded in bringing about triumph on a situation that seemed lost. It has been a pleasure to have met Mr. Joseph Nascimento, both professionally and as a well rounded human being. Professionally, I find Mr. Nascimento to be well spoken, honest, efficient, candid, thoughtful, well prepared, and an excellent strategist. Knowledgeable of the law and its current changes. Known and respected inside the court room and the Judicial body. I would personally, and without any hesitation, recommend Mr. Joseph Nascimento to anyone, especially any family or friends needing legal representation.

Legal Service Review

In 2012 our family was faced with an unexpected need for legal representation for our son. Through a co-worker I was referred to Mr. Nascimento and not once did I regret this referral... The process was one that we were not familiar and Mr. Nascimento took the time to explain the entire process to u...s and ensured that we knew the pros and cons with the outcome of the case. Mr. Nascimento did an outstanding job of getting our son the best possible outcome as the first resolution and despite our son having some set backs with following the stipulations of his original agreement and needing to return to court he was once again right there no matter what time of day and even on weekends to ensure that we were prepared for the worst but hope for the best. We have been extremely fortunate to have met Mr. Nascimento as from 2012 to 2014 I have no doubt that we would not have had the successful outcome that we had today and our son having the ability to get a 2nd chance at rebuilding his life and this is all due to the dedication and hard work of Mr. Nascimento. You have an outstanding attorney that represents your firm.
