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

Dedicated and Caring Young Attorney

I hired Joe for my son in an alleged domestic assault case. Joe was a great listener, well prepared, and knowledgeable. I was very impressed with his input and caring nature. His fees were also reasonable. Joe is definitely a rising star and I would recommend him. The case resulted in a dismissa...l.

Joe works hard and really cares.

A friend referred me to Joseph Arabbo after an arrest for an 18-month old incident. After a passively suicidal car crash (I'm doing much better now, I'm happy to report) and failed breathalyzer test I was involuntarily admitted to a mental health facility. A few weeks later I received my license i...n the mail with no other correspondence. However, 18 months later when my wife was pulled over for a minor traffic offense the officer informed me that a warrant had been issued for my arrest regarding the incident (for which I had never been otherwise notified). I was arrested and quickly bonded out. At my friend's recommendation, I contacted and met with Joe. He was kind, on time, empathetic, and thoroughly professional. I hired him when he offered a fair fee and committed in writing to do his utmost to seek the best outcome for me. I had been independently seeking therapy and psychiatric help since the incident, and Joe made my efforts to seek out the help I needed the cornerstone of his case. He sent letters, made numerous phone calls to the prosecutors and attempted to visit them in person (even though the were frequently "unavailable"). Eventually he was able to negotiate a reduced charge. In the weeks before the "bench trial" Joe told me to anticipate 6 months probation in addition to the reduced charge and its driving record points and fines. However, due to Joe's persistence, he was able to score a meeting with the judge in his chamber prior to the hearing. Joe convinced the judge of the value of my consistent and ongoing efforts to seek help and rehabilitation in the 18 months since the incident. As a result, I not only received the negotiated reduced charge but also NO PROBATION, which was amazing and unexpected. I can confidently recommend Joseph Arabbo as a fantastic attorney who works diligently, keeps in contact, and really fights for his clients. I am lucky to have benefitted from his services.
