Superb Attorney

Joseph was my attorney for multiple charges and he helped me completely along the way. He is intelligent in what he does and did a great job helping me. Right from the start he was on it to get my case resolved. I would highly recommend him to anybody looking for a legal aid.

CASE WAS PRACTICALLY DISMISSED

Late January I recieved an OWI and I literally thought my life was over. From the start Mr. Awad was on it, asking all the viable information and staying on top of what was needed. State police were being hesitant releasing my dashcam footage and weren't prepared to send it until it was already so cl...ose to my court date. Mr. Awad sent his assistant out (and hour drive) to retrieve it days early so he had the time to assess it and figure out where to go from there. Mr. Awad was the perfect attorney choice because thanks to him, I got charged with just careless driving and a $200 fine. No OWI charge, nothing on my record! I am so blessed and will recommend anyone to him!

Intelligent, Understanding and Efficient

Mr. Awad delivered more than I expected from a DUI/OWI attorney and is certainly as good as it gets. I am a medical professional who was scared about what might happen to my license and other downstream manifestations of a criminal conviction. From the moment I spoke with Mr. Awad on the phone, I kne...w he was who I wanted representing me. He is an excellent listener, understanding and very clearly intelligent and well read in his area of criminal defense. He is like a DUI doctor and his fees are more than reasonable. I was pleased to find out he had my OWI and refusal offenses DISMISSED before the charges could even be laid. This news made my year and knowing I wouldn't have these charges standing between me and my medical career was an incredible relief. I am so grateful for his help and expertise and I would advise anyone, medical professional or not, to call up Mr. Awad - you'll not be disappointed!

Out of state

Being an out of state client, Awad did everything in his power to keep me from having to travel. Well he did an outstanding job and not only did I not have to travel, he had my case thrown out. Couldn’t be more satisfied with the results.

Professional and will really Fight

Years ago, I hired Joe to defend me on a 3rd offense OWI. I was up against a county just outside of metro Detroit notoriously known for their ultra-strict sentencing on alcohol-related driving offenses. Being that it has been years since this case has closed, what I appreciated most is his candid pro...fessionalism. Joe was willing to fight for any direction we would have taken it, but in the end, his recommendation proved to be best. Joe was able to negotiate an amazing deal that I am still thankful for today. Mr. Awad is a great person to have fighting in your corner.
