Stellar Results

I was overwhelmed by my situation when I consulted Joe. He clearly and honestly laid out what I was facing. He explained which of the statements made by law enforcement were actually true and which were not. He told me what steps I would need to take and the length of time I should expect it would ta...ke. I live 150 miles from the law office but after my consultation felt Joe was the best possible representative for me. My case was complicated and required considerable time and effort from Joe and staff. Sarah was incredible staying in touch by phone and email. Phone consultations allowed us to stay on top of things without requiring me to travel 2.5 hour to meet. Joe and Sarah provided my family with encouragement and advice throughout my cases. I am now in a better position than I could have imagined to move forward from.

Would recommend for drug related offenses

Very pleased with the outcome of our drug related case. Mr. Passanise gave excellent legal advice and went above and beyond to provide appropriate direction. Following his advice was a determining factor in the positive outcome of this case. His expertise in the courtroom and the respect he garner...s from his peers was also evident. Mr. Passanise was diligent to be present during scheduled court dates and if not able to due to conflicts with other cases made sure that representation was provided by a partner in the firm. Communication with his staff was sometimes challenging, but Sandy and Shawna were always professional and helpful.

Great experience

I know Joe through business and he was first to come to mind when I needed help with a traffic ticket. Great experience from start to finish and would recommended him to anyone needing counsel.

Review for Joe Passanise

Joe is a very kind hearted man. His compassion is apparent when he talks with you. He will reach out and ask questions very directly. He's a good verbal communicator. He also has a sense of humor and understands where you are coming from when you feel like a "criminal" for being human w/ everyday..., common failings. He knows the Law very specifically and uses every tool available within Missouri statutes. I was greatly relieved when full handling of my case was moved from a prior attorney to Joe. He made me feel assured everything would turn out for the best outcome possible. He gave me direct instructions on how to handle myself prior to my hearing. How to accumulate community service before sentencing; what recommended courses to attend; what resources to access for additional help outside the legal field. He seemed to understand it was a hard time for me emotionally and encouraged me to take the Up Road out of a time of family deaths, distresses and life emotional traumas. Which is exactly what I needed in addition to legal specific care. Confirming my need for mental health care was important to me. Now I can move forward in my life feeling much less burdened by "the system." It's a very confusing process when state and county and city entities must all be addressed simultaneously. My questions about juggling those were answered.

Traffic ticket

Joseph Passanise and his firm were so helpful in assisting us with a traffic ticket for our daughter. He and his firm were very informative and he was able to resolve the matter for us. I would definitely recommend him!!
