My Experience

Jo is amazing. I had a court appointed attorney for over a year and was unable to contact him once, even though I consistently called, texted, and emailed him and I would call the Court Office as well. I found out that he was also pleading guilty on my behalf without consulting me. However, after tal...king with Jo, my charge was dropped after just a month, and it could have been sooner if I was more available. She replies within a day to all emails and was constantly working for a better arrangement even after getting a deal with the prosecutor. I would recommend Jo to anyone and I am incredibly thankful for all her work, she saved my life and my relationship with my family.

CSP CRIMINAL CASE

Jo was amazing she was very helpful very humble, honest, up front and super knowledgeable in our case really made me and my family feel a piece of mind during our case. We had an unfortunate even in our lives that turned for the bad but with Jo we had it all taken care of provided her with all the f...acts and were honest with her as well. Made us fell comfortable not only that but she sympathized with us on the situation didn't make us feel bad or belittled us in any way truly felt like we we knew each other its what made it the best she connected with us in a way that we would most defiantly go to her anytime. To be honest i used to be hesitant on lawyers but she is one of the, GOOD ONES BEST LAWYER, PERSON IN GENERAL. When she told us she was here to help and it was very genuine and sincere truly felt helped, got our case NO BILLED ( DISMISSED). Jo is truly good at her job really is one of the best. Thank you Jo for your help you Rock!!

Awesome!!!

I can not say enough good things about Jo! She is the most honest, caring and compassionate attorney I have ever met! She went above and beyond to help my son and helped keep my son from going to prison. She did an amazing job and always responded quickly to any text, e-mail or phone call. She made ...me feel like my son’s case was the most important case she had and always made sure we understood everything that was going on. I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing a criminal defense attorney.
