Amazing!

I called Jo for a consultation and within minutes after hearing the details of my case, she was contacting prosecutors asking that they hold off on processing the case. After two weeks I received an email from Jo with the decline to prosecute! Jo took care of everything without even meeting me and ch...arged an extremely reasonable rate for her time. I would HIGHLY recommend!

Very Helpful

Jo Poenitzsch was very helpful during our stressful time. She took the time to explain to us the process involved and what we should do, and what she was going to do. Our process was taking forever, but Jo reassured us that was typical. Fortunately for us, Jo was able to get our case dismissed!

Thank you

I really just want to take the time out and thank a very special person, Lawyer Jo. She is the best example of what walking into your calling looks like. You have an amazing legal mind and have mastered your craft in still keeping a professional touch as I thank you for being patient with me. Thank y...ou for going the extra mile even when you didn’t have to. Thank you for your human touch as your words of reassurance kept this process going strong when I was feeling down. Words can’t express my gratitude but just know you’re highly appreciated. keep winning! #BestLawyerInTexas

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
