I hired Joe Passanise to handle my DWI case. My experience with him and his office was nothing short of excellence! They were always quick to contact me with any updates or information regarding my case, they fought my case with great and unbeatable points, and they truly cared about me as an individ...ual. I would recommend the law offices of Dee Wampler and Joe Passanise to anyone. Truly grateful for my experience with them!

Joe exceeded our expectations on many levels. The circumstances surrounding my DUI case were very dire. I caused an accident, had a BAC twice the legal limit, and other extenuating details that made the worst case scenario inevitable (jail/conviction/prohibitive fines). We had waited too long to ...obtain an attorney, so were in a crunch with an impending hearing. We called several attorneys on a Saturday with no response. Joe, however, called us back within a couple of hours, and we had a meeting the next night at 8 pm. It was evident at that point that he works round the clock for his clients. His expertise was continually proven over the next several months. His style is no nonsense, honest and straightforward...a rarity nowadays. The prosecution fought very hard for a stiff sentence that included more than 30 days in jail, fines and a conviction that could've had disastrous consequences on my career and future. Under the guidance and expertise of Joe, I walked away with an SIS--meaning that I will not receive a conviction as long as I complete a set amount of community service, etc--an outcome typically impossible for a case like mine. I have known people with more favorable circumstances surrounding their case (and before the DUI laws in Springfield became stricter) who received a more severe sentence than me. Joe and his office were very helpful throughout the process; the level of attention paid to my case was comparable to that of defending a family member. His assistant even called me afterwards to see how I was doing. We are confident that we would not have received the same outcome with another attorney. The reason I have an SIS instead of a conviction is due to the expertise of Joe. He is an extremely experienced attorney with keen judgement and acumen with the Springfield judicial system that you can depend on to go to bat for you. Your future is not something to gamble with. I wholeheartedly recommend the law offices of Dee Wampler and Joe Passanise.

Joe helped me dodge a felony dwi. I am not proud of my past and am embarrassed at what happenned. That being said, I thank God I went to him. I wasn't sure what my next move was and not only did he recommend a fantastic treatment program but he kept my butt out of jail and a felony off my record. Him..., Sarah and Scott were incredible to work with and when everything was said and done, I hugged him. If you are in need for an attorney look no farther. I would recommend him to anyone.
