The best decision I could have made

I was brought up on assault charges and Joe Delamater came highly recommended from a trusted friend of mine. I decided to interview 3 lawyers and right off the bat, I could tell that Joe was my guy. As soon as I told him my story, he read the police reports and immediately started to strategize on ...how we could effectively fight the case. I got the feeling that Joe would turn over every stone in order to fight for me and my future. His vast experience as a prosecutor ended up being invaluable when it came to my case. He never over sold himself or made promises he couldn't keep. He and his teams communication with me was second to none. In the end, he got a result on my case that I could have never dreamed of. If you have a pending legal matter....go talk to Joe and his team. It was the one of the best decisions I've ever made and it has changed the trajectory of my life.

Poor

I was very happy to work with the attorney after consulting with him. I was quoted orginally $500,I went back ,and the new quote was $2000 retainer. I didn't understand that so i decided not to.

Very sorry to hear about your frustration! You contacted me and I offered a low down-payment because my practice was not busy at that time. When you followed up, around one year later, prices changed because my practice was much busier and I was not able to maintain that price. Also, your case was quoted hourly. The $500 was a retainer, essentially pre-paying for services. Thus, I was asking for pre-payment of more time. Again, I am very sorry for your frustration and I hope you found great service elsewhere!

good

He did an overall good job on my case (owi with prior within 5 years & reckless endangerment with prior owi within 5 years) on felony was dropped and the other will be reduced upon completion. He got me a pretty good deal and wad overall a pleasure to work with. My only complaint would be a bit more ...communication would have been nice, but as far as lawyers go he's on the better end of them when it comes to that.

Robert, I am sorry for the frustrations with communication. I strive to keep active communication with all clients. Sometimes when there is nothing to update on a case, it can seem to the client that they are not being kept in the loop. I'm sorry that this is the way you felt.

Very knowledgable

I had absolutely no idea where to start when I recieved a criminal charge against me. He set up a consultation and explained things in a language I could understand. Very professional and made things easy for me. I showed up and he handled the rest. Really great guy!

Hope

at the begining of this year i was stoped on a 50cc scooter for HTV for life so i was very concerned about my future. Mr. Delamater answered some FREE questions on Avvo which also led me to retain him as my attorney, he was able to get a plea of 3 days served and no prob. i have made alot of poor dec...esions but contacting joe was a great one. Thanks again Joe.
