Professional but personable!

Last spring I was pulled over for "rolling a stop sign" and then charged with an OWI. This was my first encounter with the law and with the judicial system, and an extremely unpleasant one at that. I, unfortunately, violated my probation recently and, through my boyfriend's referral, hired Joseph to ...defend me. My original court date was set for December 19, which seemed like a ridiculous amount of time to wait. Joseph immediately called the court and had my date moved up by 5 weeks. He called me within 24 hours to discuss my past, asked why my original ticket was issued, what I had plead (guilty), and the sentence that the judge had given me (1 year probation, random breath testing, 50 hours community service, weekly outpatient treatment, and mandatory attendance at a MADD meeting). Needless to say, this district is extremely harsh and has a zero tolerance policy. We then discussed our strategy and he was very specific with what to say and what not to say, based on the judge who had been appointed to me. He was very familiar with my district and all the judges within it. He texted me the morning of my court date (which was above and beyond!) , was extremely prompt, calmed my nerves, and sang my praises during my hearing. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and I can't sing this man's praises enough! If you're experiencing any legal issues, do yourself a favor and HIRE THIS MAN! He will fight for you and your rights!

Annulment

We hired Joseph to get an annulment on our daughters marriage, He filed the case and the annulment was granted which is kind of a rarity these days, We were in and out of court in 30 minutes , Everything turn out as Joseph had told us it would. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a good a...ttorney who actually does what he promises he will do. My daughter left court today on cloud nine and we truly can not thank him enough for all he has done. Again many thanks to you

Trustworthy Partner

Joe puts his heart into his work. He helped represent me in a real estate case, and continues to help me sharpen up my contract language to improve my business practices, thereby leveraging state and local laws to protect my business. He puts in the hours of research to get the proper facts on the ta...ble. Most importantly, he was able to effectively communicate his points in court to help me get justice. That's something recurring with Joe - his talent in communication. I highly recommend Joe to anybody in need of a trustworthy partner to represent their case.

Excellent Attorney

Joe is an awesome attorney! He represented me in a marijuana case and got it dismissed! He was always attentive, diligent and assured me that everything was going to be fine when I was nervous and anxious. I'm convinced his positive attitude and passion for what he does got me such a great outcome. H...e is definitely the lawyer you need!

Great lawyer

My lawyer, Joe Arabbo, was very helpful in my case. He is a good friend of mine and I am glad I went to him for help. He got rid of any type of record I could have had. I am thankful that everything turned out well after the case with the help of Joe.
