Over the last several years, I have had the privilege to represent and help hundreds of individuals who have faced criminal charges. Focusing my practice exclusively on criminal defense, I have experience representing individuals charged with a range of crimes, from misdemeanor offenses to class A felonies.. My reputation has helped me build trusted relationships with opposing counsel, Judges, and court staff. Those relationships help me, help you.. I take pride in my work, and client satisfaction is my top priority. My approach to cases is simple, I start by learning your story to develop a defense. This starts with you. You are more than just a docket number on the district attorney’s desk – and I will never forget that. I work hard to ensure that your Constitutional rights are protected. I review all evidence, case law, and statutes. Many of my clients are good people who made a mistake. I actively pursue all options to both avoid a conviction or to mitigate the impact a conviction could have on someone. It’s important to hire an attorney who will help you navigate through all your options.. At the end of the day, I can never guarantee an outcome, but I can guarantee I will work hard to get you the best possible outcome. When I stand in front of juries and tell them that it is my honor to represent the Defendant – I mean it – and it would be my honor to represent you.. Joe grew up in Delray Beach, Florida. He is a graduate of Duke University and the University of North Carolina School of Law. In his spare time, he enjoys playing tennis, going on hikes, and spending time with his fiancée and dog, Tater.
