Professional lawyer with an aggressive approach.

I was charged with 3 felony counts of manufacturing/ delivery controlled substance and one count of maintaining a drug house. This was from three years ago. For some reason I thought I was given a second chance and the charges would never come. Then one day in May I received a letter in the mail. I c...alled Mr. Arabbo first thing. He was there as soon as I needed him on top of the fact that he was on the other side of the world on vacation at the time. He put my mind at ease through the process with his confidence and attitude. Made it back in time to prepare for my first court date.. Gave me advice on how to tackle the next obstacles to come and kept in touch giving me updates and motivation through every court appearance. He was praised by my judge in circuit court twice for his diligence and professionalism and always pushed for more of a break than he had already fought for and won. It was an amazing sight to see and made me feel safe in a world I had no experience in and a world I was terrified of due to my charges. I should have been in prison serving a minimum of 2 years. I made a plea deal and took the worst charge and the other three were dropped. At my arraignment I was given a cap of 60 days in jail on weekends. Then on sentencing I was given two year probation with a 6 month tether for curfew. How does this happen? Thank you Joseph Arabbo. A dear friend and a real life super hero lawyer. I’m positive that without him by my side I wouldn’t be here right now to write this review. At the end of it all I realized I really was given a second chance. Do not hesitate to find council with Mr. Arabbo. He’s a proven professional!

Nailed the case.

I was given Joe’s number from a friend who highly recommended him. From the start he was willing to go the extra mile. Extremely profesional, to the point, witty and intelligent. I had a number of potentially serious driving infractions that he got down to mere citations. I would certainly recommend ...this man. Seriously nailed it.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
