Joseph Tilden Rhea's Lawyer Endorsements
"I wholeheartedly endorse Joe Rhea. I worked alongside him in the Riverside County criminal courts (I was a public defender, he was a private attorney) and his knowledge and professionalism were top notch. Joe was also one of the premier civil rights attorneys in the area when I was still in the area. Joe will work with you and continue to fight for you throughout the process until he reaches a successful outcome for you. You are in good hands with him."
"I have referred Joe a number of clients where the criminal disposition would have serious ramifications on the ultimate immigration outcome. His knowledge and work ethic are impeccable. I recommend him without reservations."
"I highly endorse Joseph Rhea! I worked with Joe while at the public defender's office. This lawyer is very knowledgeable about the law, and he is a zealous advocate for his clients. Joe is successful at negotiating excellent results and taking cases to trial when the case needs to be litigated. You should contact Joseph Rhea if you are facing criminal charges."
"Joseph is an experienced criminal defense lawyer whom I have referred many clients. Joseph is particularly knowledgeable about cannabis/marijuana laws. I recommend him highly."
"I endorse Joe Rhea. He is knowledgeable and compassionate. He has wisely counseled several of my clients. When *I* need a criminal law expert, I turn to Joe myself."
"I have had the pleasure and honor to know and work with Mr. Rhea for many years. Mr. Rhea works extremely hard to advocate for his clients and achieve the best possible outcome in all of their cases. He is one of the brightest and most aggressive criminal defense/DUI attorneys that I know. If any attorney can outsmart, outthink, and out strategize the prosecution at every turn it is certainly Mr. Rhea. Mr. Rhea is a brilliant defense attorney who cares about his clients and their case. I cannot recommend him highly enough."
