Five Star Lawyer

On a night out , I was pulled over and charged with 5 felonies and a DUI. I was recommended to hire Joe Bisbiglia by my cousin because I was told he was the best lawyer. I went to Joe’s website to set up a consultation meeting and I got a response that same day. (https://bisbiglialaw.com/ ) I went t...o meet Joe at his office and we talked and I knew he was the right lawyer for my case. We went to court and I was facing five felony charges and a DUI with sixty days of jail time. My main fear was losing my job that’s leading to my career because of jail time. Joe did his thing in court going nonstop back and forth to get me the best possible outcome. At the end my felonies were reduced to a misdemeanor with a DUI and no jail time, with work release. That was a deal I couldn’t refuse. After my case Joe has still been there for me when I need guidance from him for things related to my case. Joe is the type of lawyer that will go above and beyond for his client. To being told that he’s the best in the business to seeing first hand that he really is the best lawyer. I don’t plan on breaking the law again, so I hope I never have to hire Joe again (respectfully) but I would highly recommend hiring Joe if you want to be represented by the best in the business.

So Grateful for Joe's Help

Joe was able to bring a positive ending to a very difficult case that I had. Without his help I do not think that I would have gotten my freedom back. I highly recommend getting in touch with his law firm if you want the best possible outcome for your case. Thank you so much Joe!

The Law Office Of Joe Bisbiglia

Mr. Joe Bisbiglia is by far the best defense lawyer to work with. He truly cares about you and makes sure you understand what’s going on in a time of turmoil. Even though I don’t live in California he was always there to help me out and staying in contact with me. If you are seeking a confident defen...se attorney I would highly recommend Joe Bisbiglia.

An Absolute Pleasure To Work With

This has been one of the most challenging times in my life. I never thought I would need a lawyer, like ever. Yet there I was, in a corner and out of options, after trying to contact several different lawyers in the area Joe was the first one to return my call. We spoke for awhile and he was so helpf...ul and understanding of my situation. I knew he was the guy I wanted on my side. He has been nothing but supportive and even taught me some ways to meditate and keep focused throughout the stressful times. Always on top of things as they unfolded and kept me in the loop on any changes we needed to face. I absolutely would recommend Joe Bisbiglia to anybody who wants their case heard out and handled the right way. Thanks again for the amazing service and always being there for me!

Incredibly professional

Joseph was able to lower my charges significantly and allow me to partake in probation that will lead to expunging my case. Great help, always communicating and sincere.

"I have known Joe for almost 20 years. He is very knowledgable about the law, courtroom procedures, and personnel. I have been in court with him, conservatively, hundreds of times. He is a true fighter and will not back down from any challenge. You would be in good hands with Joe B!"

"As a conflicts counsel, I worked with Mr. Bisbiglia when he was in the Public Defender's Office. I found him highly competent, with a quick understanding of the issues in a case, whether legal, or otherwise. His courtroom presentation is impeccable, and I would feel very comfortable consulting him should I ever require the services of a criminal defense lawyer."
