Truck driver

From the very start of meeting with Joe I could tell he genuinely cared about me and my situation. We talked about it in his office one afternoon. I told him what I had done and what had happened since the incident. He never judged me but was very careful to answer all my questions. My parents we...re there with me and he made them welcome as well. Joe immediately began reaching out to the local prosecutor to find out if there were any charges filed against me yet. And he informed the prosecutor's office that he was representing me. All of this was before I had paid him his attorney's fee. A few weeks after Joe and I had met I was arrested and taken to jail. He and his co counsel Taylon immediately starting working on getting a bond set up so I could get out of jail. It took them all of 11 calendar days. That's after having to find a judge who would sign off on a bond. So he did not waste any time. Joe and his office were in contact with my parents to reassure them and answer their questions. When I was released on bond I had a court date a few days later. When Joe and I met at the courthouse he knew exactly what he wanted me to do and explained it to where even a blue collar truck driver who had rarely been inside a courtroom could understand it. The packet of instructions that he sent me was detailed and clear on what he wanted me to do. If I had any questions, his paralegal, Sarah, was there to answer them. She didn't always tell me what I wanted to hear. But she always told me the truth. Ultimately, Joe and his team were there to get me a very good deal from the local prosecutor. Its one that will allow me to move on with my life. I appreciate Joe for his hard work and for believing in me. One more thing I almost forgot: As I understand, he got me a significant discount on my bond. He told the bondsman and the judge that I was worthy of this discount. Joe believed in me personally and took a personal interest in helping me get through this. I recommend Joe and his team to anyone who finds him or herself in trouble with the law.

Very knowledgeable

Joe and staff are very knowledgeable, upfront, and honest. He explained from the beginning what to expect, and followed through. A lot of firms will over promise and under deliver. This was not the case with Joe, he went to battle for me from the 1st phone call. Did I mention I live out of state as w...ell?! Joe is the type of lawyer you can put all your trust and faith in, and not sit back and worry. Highly recommend Joe and his team when it comes to your freedom and life.

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!

Great lawyer

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.
