Top Notch Attorney

I hired Joe when I was faced with a situation that I felt was very unfair. I was under enormous stress and just felt totally beaten up. I was facing a felony charge that Joe fought hard to get dismissed. My first time dealing with the criminal legal system/process and I was worried- I had a lot to lo...se. He guided me through and explained in detail what the charge meant and what my options would be. I was very impressed with his strategic guidance, compassion and expertise. Joe did an excellent job taking care of my case. I feel like I can now go on with my life! If you are someone who is debating whether or not to retain legal counsel or are struggling to choose among lawyers, I strongly recommend Joe to you. Do not mess around with your future. I thank God he was on my side.

Horrible guy

I know I didn't have to hire a lawyer for my first DWI but I hired one to ensure I got a dismissal. He represented himself very understanding and friendly during the interview but after I hired him he flipped a switch. He was very rude and obnoxious. After payment arrangements had been made he would ...still call and text every other day asking for money. Whenever I asked a question he would response with "duh!". And these are just a few examples of my bad experience. He did get the case dismissed but I could have did it with any lawyer with my clean record.

GREAT ATTORNEY

Prior to hiring Joe to handle my divorce, I had hired another attorney who dragged my divorce case out, responded slowly to my calls and emails and didn't seem interested in providing me with adequate respresentation. I had to eventually fire this attorney and hired Joe to take the attorney's place.... Within two months, after hiring Joe, my divorce was finalized and I was very pleased with the outcome of the divorce. Joe did a great job. He responded promptly to my phone calls, explained my case to me, kept me informed and his rates were relatively inexpensive. I would recommend Joe to anyone seeking a divorce attorney in the San Antonio, Texas area.

Dependable Attorney

My name is Javier.Joe Ponce has been our family attorney for seven years and counting.After my separation he represented me and won custody of my son.He explained every process of the case step by step so that i can rest assured that the job was getting done.A few years ago he represented me for a fe...lony case and after diligence and hard work my case was dismissed!In the courtroom he was firm and demanding for his client-ME.I felt very safe and secure listening to him defend me the way he did.I put my full trust in him and his staff.As of recent,I have hired Mr. Ponce once again to expunge the dismissed case. I recommend him to any one who is in need of an Attorney that is dependable and straight forward.I have received excellent results for two cases thanks to Joe Ponce! He has always been professional and well informed.He is my attorney.

got the job done, id definitely hire him again

Mr. Ponce represented me on two assault cases, to which I was falsely accused. Mr. Ponce took these cases to trial and basically forced the DA to dismiss both cases due to no evidence. He didn't let me down or give up. He did more then my expectations and for that I am grateful. I would recommend him... to anyone. I recently ran into some more legal matter to which I hired Mr. Ponce again.
