very knowledgeable lawyer and stays sharp by attending legal trainings and participating in training other attorneys
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.
Philip Wormdahl, DUI and DWI Attorney on Dec 14, 2012
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Joeseph was one of my instructors at my NHTSA Standardized Field Sobriety Test certification. He is very knowledgeable about DUI and I don't hesitate recommending him to anyone who needs a skilled DUI lawyer.
Jeremy Hollingshead, DUI and DWI Attorney on Jul 26, 2012
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I met Joseph last year at Gerry Spence's Trial Lawyers College, and I was immediately impressed with his knowledge and dedication to DWI defense. You won't find a more caring lawyer, and Joseph won't hesitate to take your case to trial. I strongly endorse Joseph!

Relationship: Friend
Mr. Rome shows passion and support for his clients in and out of the courtroom. His trial experience cannot be matched by many attorneys. I would recommend Mr. Rome to all my clients in need of a DWI/DUI attorney.
Matthew Terry, DUI and DWI Attorney on Mar 6, 2012
Relationship: Worked together on matter
Mr. Rome is an exceptional attorney - and exceptionally motivated at that. His ability as a trial lawyer is only shadowed by his efforts to master his craft. I proudly endorse this attorney (as well as seek his counsel / insight when needed).
Rhidian Orr, DUI and DWI Attorney on Feb 25, 2012
Relationship: Worked together on matter
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 one of about a thousand lawyers nationwide to graduate from Gerry Spence’s trial lawyer’s college. I highly recommend Joe if you need help with a DUI or any legal matter.
Mark Rosenfeld, DUI and DWI Attorney on Jan 31, 2012
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Curtis Paschall, DUI and DWI Attorney on Jan 27, 2012
Relationship: Worked together on matter
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.
Grant Scheiner, Criminal defense Attorney on Jan 27, 2012
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
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
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.
Rhonda Ives, DUI and DWI Attorney on Jan 23, 2012
Relationship: Worked together on matter
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
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I have had the distinct pleasure of working up cases with Joe Rome. I have seen firsthand how hard he works for and how dedicated he is to his clients and their cases. Joe is a trial lawyer. 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!
