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!

I/We hired Joe to represent me on Alcohol Charges. The moment we met with Joe, he was excellent in explaining the process and what would happen. He is so extremely knowledgeable, positive, professional, and confident!! He was absolutely the most prepared and also able to work fast, think on his fee...t, and adapt to any situation. He was able to take a very serious situation and really dictate in our terms, by doing this it makes you feel way way more at ease and comfortable! There is an old saying you get what you pay for...... and this attorney is exactly that! You pay for the best you get the best!!! I walked away with what exactly was explained to me in the beginning and what I expected. However; the feeling is good that I walked away with, but even more I feel like there is no limit... by this I mean if I ever got in trouble again that he leaves me/you with the feeling there is nothing he can't accomplish and I really believe that as well!! To touch on his support staff... EXCELLENT, if for any reason you can't get in touch with Joe his staff or the other attorneys will get you called back QUICKLY!! ........OH and they are there on Saturdays, doesn't that say enough!! I Will/Would absolutely recommend Joe and his Law Firm to anyone.......... Hire the BEST!!!!

This team of professionals take your defense to the next level. Your local attorney may be solid and straight-up, but they can't reflect more than they are. When your home town rep reaches the limit of their capabilities they plead for the best "deal" they can get. That doesn't make them bad, just l...imited. Joe's team will take it to the wall and prosecutors know that....it makes all the difference in the world. It doesn't make it easy, it doesn't make it inexpensive, but it gives you the best possible outcome of a bad situation. And, the team does it all with courtesy, kindness and professionalism. When it's time to step up, I'd call Joe (again).

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.
