Best DUI attorney in LA

Joseph is a very professional lawyer, honest, very knowledgeable, answer all question , return calls and emails within few minutes, I was charged with DUI and he reduce the charges to wet reckless driving, highly recommended.

When situations get tricky

Being disappointed with my initial attourney, I was recommended to Mr. Joseph for my car accident. We were rear ended, but the driver swerved and hit only a side of the vehicle. The first Attourney kept stating how impossible it would be for us to win the case. We switched with Joseph and with his ef...fort and honesty thought it would be best to go to small claims for this one. We did (mother & I) and we won! I was glad justice was served, and thank Joseph for his honesty and work. Plus he did not end up charging us a penny. It's difficult to find the right Attourney, but my family can now trust in Joseph and his work for any future legal matters.

Got Dismissal. Exceptional Service and Representation

I absolutely would recommend Joseph to anyone needing representation. He was very expeditious with my case. Very transparent, kept me informed and updated on proceedings. He had a positive demeanor and outlook. He also kept me mindful of going forward, rather than mull over what passed. I have no dou...bt Joseph can and will take care of you without compromise.

very professional and knowledgeable

joespeh did a great job for me, he was always on top of everything, has great knowledge and explains things so that you understand every detail and are not left in the dark about anything. i was very nervous and had no idea what was gona happen with the kind of case i had. i was worried not just ...about me but my wife and kids and all they would have to go through as well. joseph is not just any attorney that you just pay and he does his job and thats it , he actually does care about you and knows its not the best situation for me to be in but he couldnt have made me feel anymore comfortable then he did. he really did go above and beyond for me and my family and i am so greatful for everything he did and the reason im able to write this review and be here today is because of joseph tang. I reccomend anyone that has any sort run in with the law to call him. he will do everything in his power to help you!
