Speeding Ticket

Joseph Arabbo is the best lawyer I've had the pleasure of hiring. He represented me in court for a 1-5mph over speeding ticket and he was able to dismiss the ticket!! He listened to my needs and let me know very clearly everything I needed to do for my case. His attention to detail helped my case go ...smoothly and brought about the outcome we were both looking for! I'm very happy with this whole experience and won't hesitate to call him again if I am in need of legal counsel. Thank you again, Joseph.

Got The Job Done!

I was pulled over for going 40mph over the posted limit and charged with 3 charges. It totals 11 points and a Class A misdemeanor with potential jail time. When I reached out to Joseph, he carefully assessed my situation before taking my money and answered my questions in extreme detail. He put my mi...nd at ease throughout the process. On the day of the trial, he managed to eliminate 2 out of my 3 charges and brought my points down from 11 to 4. I am very pleased with the result!

Best attorney I could’ve possibly hired

I was facing a felony charge for possession of a controlled substance. Mind you I have previously had an OWI charge. Joe was referred by a friend and as soon as I contacted him, he gave me the rundown of what to expect and what I’ll have to do to get through it. The entire time he was transparent... about the case and I felt like I could trust him completely with my life. Throughout my case I truly felt like I had a friend that was representing me, which makes it a lot less stressful and puts you at ease. He reassured me that he would get me the best case scenario, and he did. He was able to get my sentencing reduced to a misdemeanor which is not visible to the public, and will be removed from my record within 5 years. Not only that, I only received 6 months probation and possible early discharge. This is rare, I am still in shock at how smoothly this case went. Just be completely transparent and honest with him; whatever legal trouble you might be in, he can get you through it. If I could give this man 10 stars I would! Thank you so much Joe!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
