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

Joe is amazing. He not only provided me with great representation on the legal side of things, but he truly cares about me as a person and it shows. The first meeting I had with Joe he personally called me and informed me he was out of town but was on his way home and would be happy to meet with me t...hat night at his office. He met with me at 9pm and took the time to explain all my options. Since we have had several meetings on the weekends and later in the evenings to accommodate my schedule. He put the nessacery distance in my case to make sure that I was in the best possible position legally. He has truly over delivered every single time. The best part however, isn't what Joe has done for me legally, it's what he has done for me as a person. He took the time to guide me through steps that I needed to take to make changes in my life. For Joe it's not just about getting you out of trouble, it's about making the changes and taking the steps so that you don't find yourself in the same situation again. I would highly recommend Joe and his staff to anyone.

Joe explained from Day One the situation and that it was going to be a long, hard fight. He never sugar coated the situation nor gave any false hope. He laid out the facts of the case and sent a very detailed list of tasks to complete before trial to present to the court, Everything he had me do se...rved a purpose and helped me not just for court but for life lessons. Joe acted with professionalism and dignity and his reputation as the best is well-earned.

This was absolutley the best experience I have had with an attorney. They got me in for a consultation quickly and started working on my case immediately. Not only were they able to get my DWI dropped to an SIS, they have continued to help me throughout my probation period. Sarah, the paralegal is ab...solutley incredible. She always answers her phone or gets back to me in a timely fashion and she is incredibly knowledgeable (and if she doesn't know something she is quick to find out). Joe and/or Scott were there in the courtroom with me each time and their professionalism and knowledge of the law put me as at ease as you can be in this kind of situation. While this was my first and only time being on the defendant side of the courtroom, it was not my first time dealing with an attorney. Other lawyers I have dealt with seemed like they were in it to milk me for as much money as possible. They were upfront about pricing and charged me not a cent more than what we agreed upon. There aren't many out there who genuinley care about their clients the way Joe and his team do. They made me feel like family. I would absolutley reccomend this law office to anyone in need of a defense attorney. They know what they are doing and they do it well.

Joseph was very direct and professional from the day I walked in their doors, seeking assistance. Joe never sugar coated anything he told me worse and best case scenarios, while always shooting for the best. Joe ensured I was always informed of the next steps in my process and saw it through to the e...nd. I was very satisfied with the service I received and would definitely recommend Joseph and his firm to anyone how may need him.
