AMAZING LAWYER!!

My fiancé at the time was accused of stealing computers from the U of A ( he was a professor at the time) but he would regularly take equipment home for research and then bring it back, anyway it was a big to do and got blown way up, and so we hired Mr. St. Louis, and man was that the best decision e...ver!! Not only is he absolutely incredible in court but his receptionist was amazing and he always answered our calls or if he was busy would get right back to us. Well my fiancé was looking at jail time, and long story short after the jury found him guilty Joe did his magic like he is known for and the next thing you know the Judge made it silent for a minute and then said "I'm not happy with the jury's decision so I am overturning it , and sir you are free to go." So Mr. St. Louis literally got my fiancé off of all charges and even after he was found guilty(which of course is like one in a million) but the point is this lawyer is literally the absolute best there is. Joe St. Louis is the exact definition of what the perfect lawyer is. Thank you again Mr. St. Louis.

Was Going To Build My own Gallows

I was recommended Joe St. Louis and his firm, from both an established attorney I knew in another state and my manager in Tucson, his firm written up as best firm in field year after year in local paper and magazines, so Not hard to find... Wasn't even sure wether to fight the charge or not at ...first or if would simply be a waste of money and time...? I was told it important no matter what to have someone represent me and see what they can do to possibly mitigate the best outcome... Truth is, thought no one would believe my story and actually how or why something happened in getting stopped in the first place... Had an officer new to his profession and putting it nicely, very over zealous !!! this in mind, who is going to believe me or even listen... Wasn't until original interview with a zoom call with one of the lawyers in the firm did I feel at all like I had any reason fight a government agency, that assumes guilt and paid to find you guilty.... This attorney, told me after and during the whole story - while asking complete honesty - that there are some possible mishandled issues here, a physical ailment that should of been observed and respected, and a reason for the stop in the first place, actually 5 things !!! Then he proceeded to tell me that the attorneys all have been busy, his docket full, but he will ask and maybe his boss could take the job, but has a confidence with anyone there, to reassure me. I waited a day or two knowing that maybe a thing to deal with or not just wait around for charges etc etc. which they came and after hired - even upped the charges !!!!???? which Joe becoming my attorney and remembered asking him - "did they raise the charge, because I hired you " Well - this whole thing or time to fight something like this requires nerve and patience, on both the defendants part and the attorney - so should be aware of that, if ever in this predicament!! This firm behind the scenes does a lot of gathering interviews by all involved, so may or may not be used in trial or to further shape a defense along with video, audio, police reports, scene pictures and anything there that may be of use - lighting, area suitability and numerous things to do with that alone.. This all in mind allows a skilled firm to discover something that could be used in pre trial, and causing the case to be dismissed... Not so in mine or observed by the judge allowing any motions and we did have a few good plausible ones at that - they wanted me to hang - !!!! This is where you need balls and your attorney need huevos also - Now, especially if you think your getting railroaded, easier to do - build the best trial case possible with experts that may be able to substantiate and or witnesses to corroborate your story... A phone call or two, or three and then a meeting or three - making this plan and how to go about shaping this part of the defense another thing - different than what happened before as to not get to this point in the effort, but all the info, reports etc. the firm had gathered - becomes more than handy but allows for the defense you will need against what one may think impossible... You and your attorney will hope something happens during this, what may seem like a long awaited time, but allows for many things to possibly happen in a defendant's favor, some of which may be explained to you or may, learn, and this is where patience comes in !!! So - don't think time is a bad thing - like farming and or investing both, time is huge important... I think this applies here or so I have learned... I think being engaged and reading everything sent from the firm, and replying that received etc. a good thing, writing things down develop some notes as remembered and or to develop clarity so that another that may be a juror can understand, important .. We had a couple, mistrials, one of which, outcome, was very favorable to me... First class guy and a first class firm !!!

Call Joe! Trust me!

Getting charged with DUI is terrifying. It's scary, shameful and downright miserable to go through that. Hiring Joe St. Louis was, by far, the best decision I could have made. Joe and his staff (including his private investigator) put everything they had into my case. They were aggressive and consist...ent in their approach but what truly gave me peace of mind at a time one tends to lay awake at night thinking about the ramifications, was Joe's absolute knowledge of the law and what is right and wrong. After my first consult, I immediately knew I hired the right guy! What a feeling to know you have the guy who is the best of the best. Over the next several months, it was clear just how good Joe and his team really are. I was kept apprised at all times and Joe had the requisite resources to build a very strong case. Then it came to trial... I have never seen a lawyer, "out-lawyer" anyone like that. Joe was prepared, calm, and patient with the judge. He knows these judges and he conducts himself in a way that endears himself to the judge. Not Joe's first rodeo. He was awesome in front of the judge and absolutely killed it at trial for me. I had the right guy on my side and it led to a complete dismissal of my case. I would not recommend anyone but Joe St. Louis as THE attorney you must call if you find yourself in a similar situation. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Joe! You are, without a doubt, a beast!

A Law Firm that Cares, Really Cares!!

When I found myself charged with Extreme DUI that could cost me my freedom, livelihood, and all self-respect, I knew I had to find a good lawyer. I talked to multiple attorneys who left me feeling more and more devastated. Then, I called Necsi & St. Louis, where I met with an attorney who gave me a... glimmer of hope. The attorney I spoke with for my initial consultation left the firm shortly after that meeting which had me feeling that maybe I made a mistake. I, firmly, believe that everything happens for a reason. I received a phone call and was told that my case would be handled by Joe St. Louis instead. My first meeting with Joe set me at ease immediately. That glimmer of hope brightened once again. His confidence and personability, along with his extensive background and knowledge of the law made me feel that I was in good hands. Then, COVID took ahold of the world. My case was postponed several times. After 3 years and several hearings later, my case was brought to trial. Joe is a master in the courtroom. He is well respected (it seemed) by judges, attorneys, courthouse staff, and even the prosecutor. The prosecutor had a mountain of evidence against me and the hope was fading again. But, I am here to tell you that Joe St. Louis is an amazing attorney! The Jury returned with a "Not Guilty" verdict. I know that no other attorney could have done that for me. The Necsi & St. Louis law firm made me feel welcome every step of the way. I never felt judged by anyone in that office. I felt cared about and that I really mattered. I hope I never need another defense attorney again. But, if I do, I will not hesitate to call Necsi & St. Louis (Joe St. Louis in particular).

Best Possible Outcome

I was a client of Joe St. Louis' over several years and cannot speak highly enough of him. From the first phone call to the last meeting with Joe he presented the current status and options very clearly and professionally. The case was resolved with a very favorably outcome, much more so than I had i...magined in the first months. If you find yourself in need of a lawyer, hire the best one that you can which for me meant Joe. After that, do as Joe suggested to me: "Continue to live your life, we'll take care of the case from here."

"I recently met Attorney St. Louis at a conference held at the Harvard University Law School in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The seminar was sponsored by the National College of DUI Defense. Some of the greatest DUI defense attorney's in the country were present, Attorney St. Louis being one of them. I had the distinct pleasure of being in a breakout session where he critiqued several attorney's cross examining a police officer. He had very helpful hints for attacking the cross and direct examination of a witness in a DUI related offense and how to better ourselves as attorneys. I highly recommend Attorney St. Louis for any citizen accused of a DUI or other criminal related matter."

His reputation for achieving great results for the citizen accused by the government of a crime is well known. His reputation for excellence in all matters is a hard earned national one. This reputation far exceeds the bounds of his state as evidenced by this lawyer from Central Pennsylvania not only knowing of him but in that I can personally attest through first hand observation his high level of proficiency in litigation and in the defense of the citizen accused. Superior, fantastic and skilled. He is the one I would put in my corner every time."
