A knowledgeable “Bulldog”

Let’s face it. Nobody goes to hire Joe because they are having a good day. When I first met Joe, I was having the worst week of my life. I had been falsely accused of a truly heinous crime that had me facing up to thirty years in prison. feeling sorry for myself accomplished nothing. I needed the ver...y best, and someone who would fight for my future. A “pit bull” if you will. I felt what you might be feeling right now... absolutely hopeless and pissed at the world. Joe helped show me the light at the end of the tunnel and I put my full trust in him, Scott, and his team as well (Sarah and Shawna). Together, they formulated a strategy that allowed me to continue living my life and begin again... something I did not feel I had before. A word of advice: These guys are the best. Even a prosecutor friend of mine acknowledged that. They proved it to me as well. Listen to what they say and trust their guidance. Even when you think you know how to fight your fight better than they do, I promise you, they know what the hell they’re talking about. There were times that I felt like I could not get an answer to the many questions going through my head and my families. There were times that I wondered if any work was happening on my case. What I found out was that the team was working on all kinds of angles and strategies throughout, that I was unaware of, and that’s why I hired them in the first place. They do not come cheap, but the Best never do. I guess you just have to ask yourself “what outcome do I want at the end, and what is that truly worth to me and my future?“ You get what you pay for and I paid so that I could have a future with my kids and family and put all this crap behind me....And that’s exactly what I got.

Best in the business

I hired Joe to represent me on a DWI case. He was very thorough explaining what he would be doing throughout the process. He kept contact with me the entire time. Joe achieved results far better than I expected and what any other attorney advised me they would be able to do. This was a third DWI a...nd the final results turned out better than the others. Well worth every dollar.

Tip of the Iceberg

As parents, we sometimes believe our children have made a "one-time" blunder, only to find that there is a larger problem underneath. This was our story when we first met Joe Passanise. We are grateful for his firm guidance through our several-year battle. His best recommendation may be his team. His... hard-working team have answered calls, texts, and emails on weekends and the wee hours of the morning. We have not only had great defense, but we have also been offered support through the process.

Professional, Compassionate, Excellent

Mr. Passanise is an excellent Lawyer; extremely professional; and compassionate. I received a DUI. He treated me and my case with dignity and respect. He told me exactly what he could do up front and what he could not do, and how long the process would take. He said the case would take approximat...ely 5 months; it did. He said he could not get the case dismissed; it was not. He said his goal was to have it reduced to a "Careless and Imprudent" driving; it was. Mr. Passanise gave me very clear instructions as to what I could do to improve my situation through classes to attend and volunteer service in the community. He encouraged and affirmed my positive contributions. He and his office were available to me for every question and concern I had. Mr. Passanise achieved the very best possible outcome he could for my situation. I am grateful to Mr. Passanise. I also want to say that Mr. Passanise's paralegal, Sarah Greer, is excellent at what she does and was encouraging to me as a client.
