Joseph Carmen Patituce

I have stumbled upon a firm that has been so wonderful that I feel the urge to add in my review: “Love your lawyer! Besides your mother, he is the only one who is fighting for you before even believing you.” Here is a satisfied client who really recommends “Patituce & Associate” first because of their positive attitude, and secondly through their professionalism in how they tackled and solved my case. Each step that they took was previously explained to me in common language, so nothing fancy just clear enough for a person not familiar with laws terms and procedures. And last but certainly not least their fee, which is a flat rate with nothing added on the end, even if they put in extra times to travel, to meet people, or to collect evidence the price did not inflate. I’m so grateful to have chosen Mr. Patituce and his team to stand for me, and beyond thankful for their countless hours and effort to win my case and keep me away from any negative repercussions in both my career and family life.

I was pulled over for an OVI and, although a nightmare in and of itself, was concerned that it would affect my eligibility to obtain my professional license. Joe and Ashely were with me all through the terrible ordeal and even stepped in to help when it came time to take my state exams. Their support reduced the charges and now I'm free to follow my career path with no worries. I would highly recommend them for your situation; especially if it involves driving and alcohol. Thanks Joe and Ashley!

I live out of the state, was in town on business and got in trouble. I put my trust in Joe and his team and they delivered. I appreciate how blunt he was with me because I was almost certainly his most difficult client, I freaked out a lot. I yelled a lot. It was because I was scared of what would happen to me. This team never missed a beat and took care of me. I highly recommend them.

I received a speeding ticket in Ohio. I live in Michigan and wasn’t sure what to do. I looked up the courthouse and traffic lawyers on the computer; Pattituce and Associates popped up. I called their number and Adam from their office answered my call and helped me. They were prompt and helped me with my ticket. I ended up with non-moving ticket violation, which ends up being zero points on my driving record. You’re going to be taken care of with Patituce and Associates. Thank you so much, and especially thank you, Adam! Everyone at Patituce and Associates will do their best to help you. While I hopefully won’t need a lawyer again, I would absolutely recommend this firm to anyone in need and would definitely use them again.

Joe worked on my case when I felt hopless and it turned out better than I could have dreamed. I had initially planned on going with a local Toledo attorney who only worked in the area, but after hearing him talk about how great he was I decided to reach out to other attorneys. I found Joe online and when I asked him about other attorneys he happily gave me suggestions on who else I could call - completely the opposite of the other attorney I spoke to. I could tell he was honest. Joe and his team found some deficiencies in my case and convinced the judge to dismiss the case. I am beyond thrilled.

Joe's team, especially our attorney, Ashley did a great job of defending my son against a serious assault charge. They were with us every step of the way through a very intimidating legal process, ensuring that we were kept prepared and informed. Our calls were always answered promptly regardless of day or time. Ashley and the team vigorously defended my son and succeeded in getting the charge reduced which allowed him to be placed on probation. I hope to never need to hire a defense attorney again, but if I do Patituce and Associates is the only firm I will call.

I recently was charged with a DUI that could have ruined my career, my relationship with my family, and my personal relationship. I am so thankful that I called Patituce & Associates, and my attorney was Trisha Breedlove. She was very professional, straight forward, and treated me as a person as not just a name and a file like other law firms do. She was able to not only get my DUI dismissed, but I walked out of court with a check from them returning my bail money. Words cannot describe how thankful I am to her. Anyone would be lucky to have Trisha and Patituc & Associates in their corner.

I am so very glad that I hired them to defend my son. They were prompt, professional, and caring. At first I was a little worried that one of the bigger firms in Ohio wouldnt be personable, they were great. From Joe to Carli they responded to all of my questions and treated my son like a real human being rather than just being a number.

I hired Joe and his team after consulting with two other attorneys. Joe was fair and I appreciated his honesty in the consultation process. He was able to convince the court to have my breath test results thrown out, forcing the prosecutor to dismiss the case.

I was charged with an extreme DUI BAC of over .3. Joe was able to successfully argue that the fault of the BAC was due to the hospital using alcohol on the needles and my arm when drawing my blood and managed to get the DUI completely dropped. In addition he was also able to get the aggravated vehicular assault charge also completely thrown out. I’d highly recommend joe to anyone, he will fight for you

I was charged with a DUI after I was pulled over in my driveway by a Trooper I went to high school with. I had a friend that worked for Joe, and she recommended him, saying I would be dumb not to go with him. I knew after speaking with Joe on the phone I had to hire him as he was straight to the point and honest with me. I could feel his confidence and he let me know him and his team would do everything they could for me to win this case. I ask a lot of questions and like to know what's going on the in the case, I was able to speak with either Joe or a member of his team whenever possible. I never felt like an after thought, or felt worried that the case wouldn't go favorably for me. Joe and his team were able to prove before the trial that the Trooper was showing great biased towards me and going out of his way to make me look guilty. After the great amount of evidence we had against the trooper and the clear cut fact that I wasn't intoxicated. They were able to get the prosecutor and the judge to dismiss all charges.

I was recently charged with a couple felonies. One being felonious assault. I hired my 1st attorney without doing any research and quickly came to the realization that I needed better representation. After finding Joe Patituce online i called his office and within minutes of speaking with him he put me at ease and told me more about my type of case than the previous attorney had in weeks. I retained his services then and its a great thing that I did. The judicial process lasted a very long time but Joe and his associates, namely Catherine Meehan and Carli Citrano, were with the the whole way. Joe and his staff were very professional and informative but, also spoke to me and my family in a way that we could understand what was going on. He didnt back down and went with any direction I was most comfortable with. This whole event went to trial and Joe was ferocious in the court room. He showed he knew exactly what he was doing. In the end, because of his expertise the entire case was thrown out. I cant thank him and his team enough for everything they did. I would highly recommend anyone who needs a great defense attorney to go to him

Seeking legal representation is arguably one of the most critical actions one can take. Joe and his Associates, namely Carli and Catherine, worked with us at a time when we were dealing with a highly emotional and stressful situation. We could not have asked for a better legal team. They were very diligent, extremely knowledgeable and patient when big decisions needed to be made as well as being great at providing guidance without any pressure. Joe and his Associates handled the case with compassion and guided us through a very difficult time. They were able to obtain a favorable outcome and truly raise the bar for Cleveland Defense Attorneys. I would highly recommend this firm.

I was charged with an OVI and after firing 2 attorneys, the first for not showing up to my 1st pretrial and the 2nd for not even attempting to terminate my ALS after the officer didn't show up. I knew I had to make a change as I still had time and it was not too late. I had 3 weeks till my next pretrial. I called Mr. Patituce after seeing the high ratings in multiple places online and reading the information concerning OVI on his website. Attorney Catherine Meehan was assigned to my case and accompanied me to all the pretrials. She is a good client advocate and addressed my concerns to the judge. After the 1st pretrial she was able to get me expanded driving privileges and by the Second Pretrial she was able to get my OVI and red light charges dismissed, my ALS terminated and the $475 Reinstatement fee waived, and an order from the Judge to get my firearm and CCW permit returned. After reviewing my file at the end of the case I noticed Mr, Patituce's office filed a Notice to Preserve Evidence. This is so if evidence is destroyed we could move the court to dismissed the case. This is something that my 2nd attorney assigned to my case didn't do. In summary they are not cheap, but they know what they are doing and I would hire them again.

Carli Citraro was excellent! She was able to quickly assess the situation and not let a bad incident define the outcome of the case or define my character. Couldn’t recommend them more!
