A tiger at trial

I had a longstanding DWI that had lingered for years. I hired Joe and he was all business. He asked for my medical records and went through the arrest with me, step by step. The trooper seemed well prepared at trial at first and I was worried until I saw Joe in action. He dissected everything that c...op said and destroyed the case. By the end of the cross-examination, that cop was ready to go home. I have never seen such a thorough and relentless confrontation...not even in the movies. The fact that he was doing it for me made it that much more satisfying. He had the cop on the stand for over an hour. Joe Long stalked that cop like a tiger stalks his prey. I was glad he was on my side. The end was a formality. Everyone knew it was not guilty. I highly recommend Joe for any legal problem you have. He is super prepared, sharp as a tack and puts the prosecutor on the defense the whole time.

The man to get for a DWI

The prosecutor wanted me to take a plea. Joe took the case to trial and destroyed the police on cross examination. I won a directed verdict. I researched a lot of lawyers when I got my DWI. They all talk a good game but I am here to tell you, this guy walks the walk. He is aggressive, extremely ...prepared and a very quick thinker. He had those police tied in knots.
