Joe was very friendly, sympathetic, and professional. He worked diligently, and kept my best interest in mind. He worked out the best outcome possible for me, and fought aggressively throughout the entire process. He was very experienced and I would recommend him to anyone in any kind of legal troubl...e. Just can't say enough about my experience with Mr. Padsanise and his team.

Joe is the best in Springfield! He listened to everything I wanted as far as an outcome for my DWI case. He went above and beyond to get the results I recieved. I would recommend this office to anyone. As long as you do your part, you will get the best outcome possible. Thank you for your hard work o...n my case!

Mr. Passanise and his Firm have been impressive from minute one. Dealing with hundreds of cases would lead a client to assume personal attention is not what you are paying for. Absolutely not the case with Joe Passanise and his Team. Reading the transcripts of his deposition and questioning was in...credibly impressive and he remembered every finite detail of my case, even AFTER drawn-out covid delays. Every penny well spent, and would recommend to anyone that needs a real fighter in their corner, and absolutely needs a win. Thanks Joe! -MB

I contacted Joe Passanise and Taylon Sumners for representation in February 2022. At the time, I already had a lawyer, but I was not getting the results I wanted, and I had lost confidence in my lawyer. An example as to why, was the prosecution kept bringing up new evidence which my lawyer did not ha...ve and that made it look like we were ill prepared, and didn’t even have all the facts to our case. Once I hired Joe and Taylon, they immediately filed motions requesting all the information available to the prosecutor so that they were no surprises when we went to court, and we had all the information needed to create the best defense. We got all the information, and Joe and Taylon now my attorneys, scheduled a disposition to question the prosecutions witnesses and to get a clear understanding of what their side of the story was. Their thorough and in depth questions during the disposition brought out evidence showed weaknesses as well as flaws in the witness recounting and the case as presented. Taylon was not intimidated in court despite the judge’s feelings and notions towards the case. As a result of their hard work, the prosecutor offered a plea deal, which Joe and Taylon discussed the merits of with me, and were further able to bargain for better terms for the deal. I eventually agreed to take the Alford plea and maintain my innocence. I remain grateful that I hired Joe and Taylon and if I could do it over, I’d chose them first!
