I'm so grateful for everything Joe and Sarah did for me. They didn't just handle my case they cared about me.
Every conversation felt reassuring. They explained things and always seemed to know when I needed a little extra reassurance.
I always felt like they were looking out for my best interests, not because it was their job, but because they truly wanted to help. That kind of support is rare, and I'll never forget it.
Thanks to Joe and Sarah, I got through a situation I once thought I couldn't handle. I can't thank them enough. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who needs not only a talented attorney, but someone understanding and deeply committed to their clients.

Wampler & Passanise represented my case and the outcome was everything I wanted and more! Joe lead with professionalism, intelligence and truly chose to understand my case to help get the best outcome possible. With all of the hard work and determination Joe provided on my case, I am able to stay home with my family and I could never express how thankful I am. He truly fought for me, not only during the process, but made sure I was set up for success even after my sentencing.
Sarah, was the absolute best! She kept me informed through the whole process and all the background work she did never went unnoticed! Because of her, I never felt the anxiety of the case and knew I was in the best hands!
I could never thank her or Joe enough for all of their time and hard work! If you're looking for representation that will take the time and energy for your case, who will truly care about you as a person and want the best for you, Wampler & Passanise is it!

Joe Passanise and the team at Wampler & Passanise are an excellent choice for legal representation. With two legal cases looming over my head (due to my own stupidity), they helped me through both of them and I could not have asked for a better outcome on both of my cases nor could I have asked for a better attorney. Rather than feeling judged, I instead felt understood and respected throughout the whole process. Now that my cases are behind me, I want to better my life and make better decisions going forward, and I feel that choosing Joe has put me in a better position to do so. A special thanks from me to Joe, Sarah and the folks who work hard at W&P!
