im gonna leave out some of the details of my case otherwise this review would go on forever and just tell you what you need to know if your facing anything to do with our legal system. you always think the legal system is out for truth,if you have nothing to hide why wouldnt you talk to the police an...d innocent people rarely end up in prison i know these are things i thought when i was accused of a class a felony assualt and facing a life sentence over a crime that i did not commit,boy was i wrong as i was sitting in jail hearing how my side of things (the truth) would never truly be heard i would probably have to take a plea and be in prison for decades and that would be best case my family had no real money to do anything to save me i figured id better get used to this life. Then i called home to talk to my mom completely hopeless and demoralized. She informed me that mr. passanise who i will call joe from here not out of any lack of respect but because he is not just a friend or honorary family member but the man who literally saved my life had agreed to take my case i knew nothing of lawyer as i had never been in trouble or needed one so in jail it was a small comfort but it was a glimmer of my life not being over i met with his partner soon after who told me first goal was to get me out of jail i liked the sound of that and was all for it a few days later i met joe and walked out of the christian county jail met with them kinda just felt each other out told him my story and game planned a little over the next couple years we met dealt with the state canceling court dates and pushing things further back i see in hindsight its because they knew who they were dealing with.I did not know how to fight this battle in my head i was innocent i just wanted a chance to tell my story joe taught me its proving my story that mattered by the time we got to trial and im skipping over many meetings with my family, court dates and countless stall tactics by the state,and joe becoming a close friend who i had no doubt was invested in me the state had chance to put on there case and i watched joe one by one destroy everything they had a master at his craft if you are considering hiring him im telling you go sit in on him doing what he does there is no one better i have no doubt you see it youll hire him. i dont have the words to express what this man did for me my little girl turns ten tommorow and the only reason her dad will be there with her is because of joe passanise he gave me my life back fought for me in a way i didnt know possible was a friend who both comforted me and told me harsh realities if you hire him i dont know that youd become best friends or him become your personal savior but i can tell you your hiring the best of the best when he fights he does it to win. i would say if your in a similar situation or a family member is the best chance you could have is hiring this man to fight for you i feel like there is so much more to say but really it does all tie back to he saved my life and he is simply the best i thank him in my prayers everyday for what he has done for me if your facing losing your freedom he is a very bright light in a very dark night

Incredibly Professional

I hired Joe for a DWI. He worked incredibly hard to get excellent results in the end. Well worth the time and money. He always communicated with me anything I needed to know or needed to do. I will be recommending him to anyone else I know that may need his services.

Excellent Lawyer. Very knowledgable.

Our family cannot say enough nice things about Joe. Beginning from the moment he began to handle multiple criminal cases for a family member until they were resolved. It is very apparent that Joe is well respected within the Judicial system. He and his staff went above and beyond to make sure that ...we were informed of everything happening in the cases. If you want positive results, I would recommend Joe Passanise for any kind of criminal case.

Passionate Passanise

At the first meeting with Mr Passanise we were feeling hopeless after having been to criminal court in a county that seemed to make their own rules/laws. As well as having false charges in two other counties from an incident that should have been a family matter. Joe listened and then gave us his pla...n for the next steps. He was realistic and knew it would be an up hill battle and it was not going to be easy case. It became clear after that first meeting that Mr. Passanise's legal strategy would require a team approach. Each step of that strategy was well thought out and implemented. When there were questions Joe's team was there to answer or Joe was available via email. Prior to attendance at court dates a meeting was held with Mr. Passanise so everyone was clear on what to expect. Mr Passanise, as well as his staff, are passionate, caring and available. Everyone worked very hard and diligently for the great outcome of all three cases. Two of the cases were dropped and probation was reinstated. We are now able to move on and heal and rebuild our lives. Joe Passanise is a passionate advocate for his clients!

Well Exceeded My Expectations!

Joe's team went above and beyond my expectations. They are very professional, detailed, and compassionate. They kept the DWI off my record (SIS), kept my community service hours low as well as not requiring that I have an ignition interlock. The staff is super friendly, helpful, and are always there ...(by email) to answer any questions-even on the weekends. I Couldn't have chosen a better firm to handle my case.
