Marcus Landsberg, DUI and DWI Attorney on Oct 22, 2013
Relationship: Worked together on matter
Joe knows more about the processes of DUI than any other lawyer I currently work with. I have good instincts about something being fishy in a police report, but when I send Joe a message asking for his thoughts he will immediately quote me chapter and verse from the police officers' manual about where the Cop was going outside the bounds of his training and fudging the lines in order to get another DUI arrest. Joe's knowledge in this line of legal defense is second to none that I've met.
Peter Olson, Litigation Attorney on Mar 2, 2013
Relationship: Co-worker
Joe is an experienced litigator who is always available for advice to his fellow attorneys. I am in good stead with the advice he provides. He is a top notch attorney who commands respect for his ability to grasp the issues in a case, and protect his clients' rights.

Joe is a talented lawyer with the skills in the courtroom to protect his clients. He is a active member in the National College for DUI Defense. His technical knowledge of DUI defense is top notch.

Joe is a very hard working lawyer who is deeply committed the interest of his clients. He has sought all the training he can to be technically proficient in the defense of his clients. Even more than that he is trained by the Trial Lawyers College in Wyoming, giving him a depth of understanding to represent his clients as a Warrior who will not accept defeat. I know that he will stop at no effort to defend his client. I cannot emphasize enough how tough he is as a litigator.

Relationship: Worked together on matter
Joseph Rome is an unstoppable force when he gets going on a case. I attended a month-long trial skills course with Joe and several dozen of the nation's top trial lawyers in 2011. Joe was one of the brightest stars in our group. I was particularly impressed with Joe's energy, creativity and single-minded focus on winning every, single case for his clients. If I or a member or my own family were in serious trouble, I wouldn't hesitate to call Joe Rome.
Joy Bertrand, Criminal defense Attorney on Jan 24, 2012

I am delighted to endorse Joseph Rome. He genuinely cares about each of his clients. He will not stop until he gets the best result possible in every case. I would refer a loved one with a criminal matter to Joe without hesitation.

I met Joe Rome at the specialized Gerry Spence's Trial Lawyer's College last fall where we worked together in an intense trial training setting. Joe has exceptional trial skills and is highly effective in the Court room. I also had the ability to discuss and analyze a few of my DUI cases with Joe. Joe's knowledge of the police procedures and the science behind DUI defense is extraordinary. If you are accused of a crime or facing a DUI, I highly recommend that you make Joe your first call!
Daniel Alvarez, Criminal defense Attorney on Dec 23, 2011

He knows the law and knows how to handle himself in front of judges and juries. The bottom line is that Joe knows how to win cases. I highly endorse Joe Rome as the go to guy in Hawaii and Washington State!
