Highly recommend

Was recommended to me by my previous lawyer, because he is becoming a judge and was not able to take my case. Mr. Passanise was contacted by my daughter as I was on a No bond warrant. He was at the jail the next morning, had me a bond hearing. I made bond and was released by the afternoon. I had b...een in jail approximately 1 week, with no hope, until I acquired Mr. Passanise. We had our first meeting initially, in person. Most of the time, other than seeing Mr. Passanise at a couple of my hearings and taking with him then I went through Mrs. Sarah his senior paralegal, Mr. Passanises staff who was top notch. They kept me informed and updated on my case. My case was eventually dismissed, all because of Mr. Passanise and his staff's hard work and effort. Mr. Passanise is definitely one of the best lawyers that I have ever used and would highly encourage anyone to let them take your case.

DWI and Probation violation

I have used this law firm 2 times. One for a DWI and a second time for a probation violation. Through both processes he worked diligently to make it as easy of a process as can be. He provided very clear instructions of what they expected from me. He was also very thorough when explaining all angles ...of possible outcomes. I got the best possible outcome from both of my experiences with him. He takes pride in his work and will work with you closely to get the results you wish for in the court room. Through my experience he is caring and wants what is best for his clients. I would highly recommend Mr. Passanise for any troubles you are going through. He makes the process as easy as possible, and as stress free as can be. He takes the time to make sure you understand everything taking place.

A top-notch attorney and associates.

Joseph S. Passanise(“Passanise”) is top-notch, and his office staff and associates were great to work with during this legal process, and venture into the courts. This was the first time I had to deal with the courts within this capacity, and it was overwhelming. However, Passanise and his staff ca...lmed me down, walked me through the process, expectations, procedures, and their strategy. When I spoke to other attorneys, they instantly recommended a plea agreement. Passanise and his staff took one look at the police report, and said we have problems with this, and how they executed my probable cause arrest. Knowing that the charges against me were frivolous, I was still concerned with how a judge would look at the matter. Passanise and his associates dissected every document, and was able to effectively communicate with the judge the faults, and many problems with my case. I understand a lot of people will say they did not commit this crime, and they’re being wrongfully prosecuted, you hear it all the time. But, I knew I was innocent of the allegations being made, and with the effective arguments they presented, THE PROSECUTOR ENDED UP DROPPING / DISMISSING ALL CHARGES AT ONE OF THE INITIAL HEARINGS. I owe Passanise and his team more than I could ever express, or put into words. Thank you for giving me my life back!
