I am an attorney dedicated to finding the best solution to a legal issue for a client. As a former Cook County Assistant State's Attorney, I have the acquired knowledge and practical experience to handle any criminal issue presented to me.  Whether you are facing felony or misdemeanor charges, look no further.  Hire the attorney that knows how the government operates.  As a former prosecutor, I not only tried numerous cases, both bench and jury trials, but also evaluated the strengths and weaknesses of cases.  I was, at one time, responsible for making charging decisions on cases.  If you are charged with a crime, you need an attorney who can assess the strengths and weaknesses of your case and determine what the best option is for you.  Do not be victimized twice....hire an attorney who has the knowledge and experice to get you the best result. Consultations are free!

Joanna is the Best!
When I was referred to Joanna, I did not even have the courage to admit why I needed a lawyer (recent arrest DUI). After speaking with her, I felt a lot less ashamed and then after meeting her in person, I really had hope in the matter. Joanna is very professional while also being very compassionate and personal, she is very reassuring and confident and helped me see the light when I was really down. My case went to trial and Joanna did not back down, we won the DUI case and I kept my drivers license! She is very intelligent and knows her stuff! If you need help, you need Joanna!

I had a case I thought would go the wrong direction but Joanna steered me back in position, and help me more than I could even imagine. This is not a joke and no I wasn't paid to say this, she is the best.

"Joanna’s knowledge and competence of the law is second to none. As a former criminal prosecutor, she’s an expert in evaluating a cases strengths and weaknesses and uses this knowledge and ability to her clients advantage. A fierce advocate for her clients, Ms. Panici is experienced, driven, hard-working and goal oriented. While she is often successful at resolving cases prior to trial, she has the skills and ability to fight and win at trial should the need arise. Anyone charged with a crime would be well served to hire her."
