I found myself in a very serious legal situation and I am so glad that I went to Joe Passanisi for a consultation and then hired him. If you are from the SW MO area I am sure are aware of his reputation which is nothing but outstanding results. He guided me through the entire process, explained to me... what I needed to do, and the outcome legally of my situation could not have been better. If you are in need of an attorney in Mr. Passanisi‘s field of work I cannot recommend him highly enough. You will not be disappointed. He clearly has an amazing track record and knows how to get the best outcome for his clients.

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!
