Joanna is the Best!

When I was referred to Joanna, I did not even have the courage to admit why I needed a lawyer (recent arrest DUI). After speaking with her, I felt a lot less ashamed and then after meeting her in person, I really had hope in the matter. Joanna is very professional while also being very compassionat...e and personal, she is very reassuring and confident and helped me see the light when I was really down. My case went to trial and Joanna did not back down, we won the DUI case and I kept my drivers license! She is very intelligent and knows her stuff! If you need help, you need Joanna!

Best Lawyer Ever!

I had a case I thought would go the wrong direction but Joanna steered me back in position, and help me more than I could even imagine. This is not a joke and no I wasn't paid to say this, she is the best.

Relationship: Family member

"Joanna’s knowledge and competence of the law is second to none. As a former criminal prosecutor, she’s an expert in evaluating a cases strengths and weaknesses and uses this knowledge and ability to her clients advantage. A fierce advocate for her clients, Ms. Panici is experienced, driven, hard-working and goal oriented. While she is often successful at resolving cases prior to trial, she has the skills and ability to fight and win at trial should the need arise. Anyone charged with a crime would be well served to hire her."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
