St. Clair County DUI Case

I wish to thank Mr. Passanise and his team for their diligent work on my DUI case in St. Clair County, Missouri. Through their relentless efforts and negotiation with the prosecution Mr. Passanise was able to have my case deferred. Throughout the process the team was sensitive to my mental health s...tate and answered my questions promptly. I would recommend the the representation of the Wampler Passanise Law Office to any defendant in the Greater Springfield, Missouri area.

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.

DWI

When I contacted Mr. Passanise I was in desperate need of help. I had been fighting a Felony DWI with another lawyer for 2 years and that lawyer Told me just accept it, you're going to jail and getting a felony. After researching multiple lawyers I found Mr. Passanise and Ms. Sumners. For the firs...t time I felt like someone was on my side fighting for me. When we went to court both of them were ready to fight for me. They knew all the details of my case and picked apart everything that the prosecutor came up with. After a stressful time waiting on the judges final answer...WE WON!!!!! MY CASE WAS DISMISSED!!! I highly recommend Mr. Passanise and Ms. Sumners. They were great to work with each individually and as a team there isn't anyone else I'd rather have in my corner. #Blessed

5 stars and my review went to google as well

5 stars and this I waited until resolution to rate my law firm because I wanted to be fair.  I had dismissed earlier counsel, a major risk for me, to hire W&P.  So many times in life we regret choices like these, but not this one.  It was THE BEST DECISION I HAVE EVER MADE.     I want to be honest s...o you know what to expect.  The firm is not going to coddle you   If you don't ask, don't expect them to explain.  Annnnd, if you want them to explain, don't pull a Laura and panic or employ your own lawyerly presumptions to the mix… Ask and set a time frame in which you would like an answer.  This team is exemplary at what they do.  They got a better outcome than even earlier counsel claimed was possible.  Let me be clear, I am a prior felon who faced charges larger than anything I’d ever dreamed yet today I am home with my family enjoying my life.  I highly recommend them.  THIS IS YOUR WHOLE LIFE.  Who’s representing it for you? I will tell anyone that will listen that you are the right choice for defense counsel. Specifically about Joe: Joe's gonna "help you," like a dad. Sometimes he cones off suoer sweet, and sometimes kind of harsh. His patience can wear thin, but in the end- BE PATIENT WITH HIM... He really knows what he's doing and has your best interest at heart. If you're like me sometimes that's hard to take. This law firm is worth it, the results phenomenal! I appreciate you guys!!!!

Helpful and Kind

Joe’s office helped me conclude my probation early. It took just took a few weeks and they were extremely accommodating through the entire process.
