Wampler & Passanise - Springfield, MO

Joe and his staff have been incredible. They are empathetic, informative, compassionate and successful. I would gladly recommend Joe and his team to everyone who asks.

A good man. Has influence in the court room. Very sincere and can make a huge difference. If you're looking for a lawyer that can actually help you? Hire this guy. I wouldn't say that unless I hadn't saw it first hand. Thank you Joe

Joe and his team are amazing and worked very hard to explain the process every step of the way. They truly made me feel like I was their only client even though I know I wasn't. I can't thank them enough.

Joe and his team did exactly what I needed them to do in my case. He was referred to me by a good friend and I can say it was the best decision I have probably ever made. Joe takes the time to be very detailed in what he can do for you and explains it as it should be. I would recommend this man to anyone facing legal issues. I can't thank his Team enough for being there for me when I needed them.

Joe represented our grandson in a very challenging situation. He gave clear direction to our grandson on what he could do to help achieve a good outcome. Joe was determined and worked hard to get a truly great outcome for us. We are so grateful for the outstanding assistance and representation Joe provided.

I made a bad decision a few years back, but thankfully decided to hire Joe. He was very thorough and direct with me about his process, as well as the expected results of my case. Joe gave me a packet of everything I needed to get done before my court date and was great about explaining anything I had questions about. If you do everything he tells you, he will help you to achieve the best possible outcome. This county, as well as my judge, are cracking down on DWI cases and I am very grateful not to have gotten jail time. Sarah has also been amazing! She has always made sure to get back to me in a timely manner, which definitely helps put my mind at ease when dealing with this entire situation.

Great at representing us for our case several times

Mr. Passanisse was referred to us by a colleague in the area when a family member needed help and was in trouble. He was the right choice. He dominated the case. I would refer anyone in Springfield to him, absolutely. My family and I will forever be grateful.

Attorney, Joe Passanise and all his paraprofessional?s were an absolute pleasure to work with. I didn?t have to worry about a single thing as they made me feel like I was in good hands with this firm. I trusted they would take care of what I needed and they did just that.

Everyone in the office is extremely nice & very helpful. They go above and beyond and are the absolute best at what they do.

My 16 year old daughter was in an accident where it was her fault. Therefore, issued a ticket for hitting the other care. Mr. Passanise and this office were understanding, kind and diligent to make sure that our new driver was taken care of. The whole process was easy for both parents and daughter. Thank you for you all your help!

Joseph is an exceptional lawyer who saved me from a serious legal predicament. His expertise in military law was evident from the start, and he handled my case with a level of professionalism that gave me great confidence. Not only did he secure a favorable outcome, but he also made sure I understood every step of the process. Joseph's rates were very reasonable, especially considering the complexity of my case. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a skilled and dependable attorney.

In 2019, I was charged with three crimes that ran consecutively and could have resulted in 29 years in prison at 85%. Today, I stand a free man on probation. Mr. Passanise (and Dee Wampler) took my case. Mr. Passanise took over my case after Dee passed away not long after taking the case. The truth is that Joe is not the cheapest attorney for good reason. Sometimes, I struggled to make payments and keep up with costs, but Joe was gracious enough to work with me. From my own experience, the cheapest way is not always the best. My freedom is worth every penny, and Joe and his staff worked their tail off for that and accomplished it. The Passanisse law firm is more than just a place that defends those who need it. The majority of the staff are now like family to us. They were phenomenal, from Sarah to Teresa and others who worked on my case. Here is the brass tax. We prayed for the Lord to lead us to the right attorney, and He did. Joe never made promises that he didn?t keep. If you?re in legal trouble, realize that hiring the right attorney is your most important decision. Even if it stretches you financially, it?s best to have someone you know in your corner. I would rather be broke and still working than save a couple of dollars for commissary soups and be on state tip. I highly recommend Mr. Passanise and his staff.

I strongly endorse Joseph and his team to anyone in need of legal assistance. I initially stumbled upon Joseph's office on Google while looking for an attorney to handle my legal case. I could not be more grateful and fortunate to have Joseph as my attorney. He is an empathetic listener and communicator. Most importantly, Joseph is an attorney you can trust to deliver the best possible outcome. In the face of uncertainty, Joseph demonstrated immense composure and professionalism to help me navigate the legal process. Joseph's commitment to deliver on behalf of his client is infectious and tangible. I regularly felt Joseph?s desperation to advocate on my behalf as if he were in my situation. I will never forget his words of encouragement from our initial conversation to the date my case reached a successful resolution. Joseph approaches his work with a dedication rarely found among even the most seasoned attorneys. In addition, Joe runs a first-class law office. A phenomenal attorney cannot deliver a successful outcome for their client without having a great team around them to provide support. A special thank you to Joseph's staff, who were always accessible, patient, and compassionate during all our conversations. I could not be more blessed and prouder to have such exceptional people on my side. Thank you, Joseph!

Wampler and Passanise were amazing to work with. Their communication was timely and service was top tier. This made an unfortunate event a little more manageable and for that I am grateful! Highly recommend!

If you are looking for a skilled and dedicated criminal defense lawyer, I highly recommend Joe Passanise and his team at Wampler & Passanise. Their expertise and commitment to their clients are truly exceptional, and they are sure to provide you with the best possible legal representation for your case. What stands out about Joe and his team is their professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail. At every turn he and his staff took the time to listen to my needs and concerns and provided personalized legal advice tailored to my unique situation. He also has an aggressive approach to defending his clients? rights which made me feel reassured that I was in good hands and he had my best interest. If you find yourself in a situation of needing representation I could not recommend him and his staff enough. I am very grateful to the Wampler & Passanise Law Firm.

Joe is the ultimate professional. He got results far beyond my expectations. From the very start he put me at ease. I highly recommend Joe for anyone who needs a defense attorney.

Joe, Sarah & Team, were so helpful through the whole process, very communicative, and had my best interest in mind. They would be at the top of my list for a recommendation to anyone.

Having been a client with Joe Passanise for a legal matter spanning nearly 7 years, I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal support. Joe P. was not just an excellent legal mind who helped me navigate a tremendously difficult situation that lasted for years and involved multiple federal entities as well as multiple states, but he also made the entire process understandable and kept my mind at peace about all that was happening over the years. Joe P. was with me every step of the way throughout this extremely long process. He was diligent to keep me informed, prepared, and feeling at ease with the situation, despite numerous challenges and changes over the course of the legal case. He always had a perfect grasp on what was going to be happening for us as we worked together through the case, and was able to use that expertise to keep me ready for whatever we encountered. His calm demeanor and savvy counsel kept me at peace with the situation and resulted in the very best outcome imaginable. Working with Joe P. on my case over the years felt more like working alongside one's friend rather than working with an attorney. He was dedicated to ensuring I always felt comfortable with the process and that I understood all aspects and angles the government and other involved parties were representing. Long story short, if you ever need legal assistance of any type, your first call should be to Joe Passanise. He will take care of you and his customer service is outstanding. Joe P. is committed to putting his clients first in everything that he does.

Mr. Passanise and his paralegal, Sarah are very compassionate and professional in their work. I appreciate their efforts to make our experience go as smoothly as possible.

I started with Dee ( may he rest in peace) who was an outstanding attorney, then finished my ordeal with Joe. They guided me through, despite my being a bit na?ve about the criminal justice system. If you have legal trouble, I cannot recommend Joe and the rest of the firm enough. Also, the support staff is great as well.

Outstanding work with professional services. Top it off with a wonderful staff, your getting the best in legal services.

I'm home with my family and have my reputation intact thanks to Joe and his team!!!!

I was pleased to the highest degree with their service.

Joe and his staff were very professional and helpful through the whole process. He definitely delivered on his promise and then some. If you are in need of an attorney there is no one else that I would recommend. I am very thankful that I hired Joe and his team!

This law firm helped me out when I thought there was no way I will recommend them to anyone LITERALLY SAVED ME IN EVERY ASPECT OF MY TRIAL 🙏

Mr. Passanise and Ms. Sumners are the most amazing lawyer team that I have ever had the privilege of meeting. Despite the unfortunate circumstances, they pulled off a near miracle for me and my family. They showed amazing integrity and stood their ground for me against some really serious opposition, and with a far from ideal situation. I can’t thank them enough for representing me, and I know for certain that my outcome would have been the worst possible case imaginable had they not been there for me. Trust me when I say that you shouldn’t hesitate for a moment to put your life in their hands at Wampler and Passanise. You will not get better results anywhere else!

Best law firm around Joe and Taylon worked extremely hard on my case and gave myself and family peace of mind throughout the process they kept me informed and we got a great outcome I would recommend them to everyone.Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you guys did

Highly recommend this law firm!!! They worked hard for over 2.5 years to get the best possible outcome. I have recommended them to several folks already and can’t say thank you enough for the outcome in my case.

I hired Taylon for a DUI defense. She was able to keep me from ever being charged in this incident. The administrative hearing did not go my way and my license was suspended for a short period of time, however, I was very happy with the overall outcome of my case as I was ultimately never charged or convicted on the criminal side of things. Additionally, Taylon offered a reasonable rate, communicated well, and was available to talk when I had new questions arrive throughout the entire process. I have and will continue to recommend her to others, and will maintain her as my lawyer for any future needs.

Joseph Passanise is one of a kind and someone that will stand in your corner and listen to your wants and needs. He handled a legal matter for me and I couldn’t be more than pleased. I never imagined he would be able to help me in this difficult time in my life and he didn’t stop fighting. He worked hard, met with me even after hours, and has an incredible team. I was scared and nervous and he was able to stand beside me and give me my options and fought hard for me. If you want an attorney that’s going to keep going no matter how long it takes and works hard he’s the man you want! Taylon Sumners went above and beyond in my legal matter. She kept me informed and explained every step. She was available to answer any and all questions that I had and has an incredible staff that cares about their clients. The customer service in the office is absolutely incredible! If you want an attorney that’s going to fight for you and care about your future then this is the woman you need to call every single time you’re in trouble! She will not take no for an answer!

When going through a DV case the options seem very limited and your fate seems uncertain. Wampler & Passanise defense team were the light at the end of the tunnel for me. I never doubted that I was in the best possible hands. Hear them out, listen to what they tell you to do and I PROMISE you will get the end results you want. I would recommend them for any legal matter!

I highly recommend Joe and Taylon to anyone in need of law services! They are patient and friendly and always keep you up to date on your case!

Joe Passanise is an amazing man, he may not always tell you what you want to hear but he's honest and doesn't beat around the bush, which is exactly what you want in your defense attorney. I highly recommend Joe, Taylon and his staff. I hope I never need his services again, but if I ever do there's nobody else I would call.

Joe and his partner Taylon McCafferty Sumners got a verdict we thought would be all but impossible in an extremely complicated criminal case. Without their tireless work, justice would not have been served. Highly recommend.

I hired Wampler and Passanise after being referred to them by another lawyer in the town where I live. I was told that they are a first rate law firm. That was a correct statement. From the first Joe and his co counsel Taylon showed personal concern for me and for my family. I can remember when I was taken to jail suddently my mom reached out to Taylon and Taylon reassured her and answered her questions about what was going to happen. I was in jail for about a week and a half until Joe had set up a bond agreement for me. He believed in me and my right to a strong defense against the state. He provided that defense as well and got me a deal that not just any lawyer could get. I appreciate Joe and his entire team for the work they did.

When I contacted Mr. Passanise I was in desperate need of help. I had been fighting a Felony DWI with another lawyer for 2 years and that lawyer Told me just accept it, you're going to jail and getting a felony. After researching multiple lawyers I found Ms. Sumners and Mr. Passanise. For the first time I felt like someone was on my side fighting for me. When we went to court both of them were ready to fight for me. They knew all the details of my case and picked apart everything that the prosecutor came up with. After a stressful time waiting on the judges final answer...WE WON!!!!! MY CASE WAS DISMISSED!!! I highly recommend Mr. Passanise and Ms. Sumners. They were great to work with each individually and as a team there isn't anyone else I'd rather have in my corner. #Blessed

Mr. Passanise and Taylon were wonderful, kind, and informational. I never felt judged, and they represented me better than I hoped for. After years of limbo, I was able to receive the best outcome from my case and it was all thanks to them. I would recommend them a thousand times over.

Joe did an excellent job with my case and was very informative with me the whole time. He is above the rest and I highly recommend him. I couldn't feel any better about the outcome.

Taylon and Joe were both professional, patient, and informative. They kept us up to date on everything and explained the legal process well. We encountered no surprises and trusted them completely.

Great service. Mr Passanise and staff ensured we understood the process from start to finish. Highly recommend!

They best and only choice. Joe and Sarah as well as the entire staff go above and beyond. I’ve never seen more of a hard-working firm before you’re in the best hands here.a+

I am very pleased with the results the firm achieved with my case. Joe and Taylon kept my true end goals in mind, and they achieved what others said was not possible. The impacts of their actions will be felt and recalled for years to come. The two have also surrounded themselves with a staff that demonstrates true professionalism, empathy and respect. This is a law firm that I would recommend to any in need of legal counsel.

Joe’s entire office and staff were helpful, kind and accommodating. They kept us updated throughout the process and treated us with dignity and respect.

I had hired Joe and Taylon two years ago to represent me in a false accusation and from day one they told me what to expect and were upfront about the cost. It was money well-spent because the case has been dismissed and although it took some time (through no fault of Joe), I am cleared of any charges. There was not any needless communication except when it mattered and I am happy with my choice of a lawyer.

Taylon Sumners and Joe Passanise were quite the powerhouse! They were professional, strong, compassionate and wonderful to work with. They were able to take a really bad situation and fight until we had an outcome that was better than we could have hoped for. I would recommend Taylon and Joe without hesitation.

When your world falls down around you, Joe is the person you want on your side! When your accused of something you didn't do, the media, your friends, your job and even your family may not be there for you. You need the best lawyer you can get to be on your side! Joe will be there for the entire journey, it last longer than one thinks. From telling you what is going on, to what the options are, he listens and knows what to do. He has the experience to know what to do, who to talk to, and how to handle your case with care and professionalism. You cannot find a better lawyer in Springfield if your accused of a crime! If anyone asks me for a recommendation for a criminal attorney to represent them, he will be my first and only one!

I have worked with both Joe & Taylon for the past 2 years on my case. They were methodical, transparent and comprehensive in their communication with me and the handling of my case. The entire office staff are friendly and welcoming and remember you from one visit to the next. From start to finish I had complete confidence in the entire legal team and they obtained the best possible outcome for my case.

I received excellent representation and council. I felt my case was handled very professionally and received the best outcome possible.

If you find your child (or yourself) in a terrible legal situation that could affect their future, trust the Wampler & Passanise Law Office to get the best possible outcome. Our family had never been in a situation like this and thought our young adult son would forever be paying for one really stupid choice. Joe and Taylon laid out a plan at the very beginning, stuck with the plan, and the plan worked. We felt our outcome was the best we could have ever hoped for and our son’s future potential was restored.

Joe and Taylon are very knowledgeable, upfront, and honest. They both explained from the beginning what to expect, and followed through. A lot of firms will over promise and under deliver. This was not the case with Joe and Taylon, they went to battle for me from the 1st phone call. Did I mention I live out of state as well?! Joe and Taylon are the type of lawyers you can put all your trust and faith in, and not sit back and worry. Highly recommend Joe, Taylon and team when it comes to your freedom, life, and family.

Hiring Wampler & Passanise from the beginning was honestly the best thing I could have done. Working with Taylon & Joe we were told exactly what was happening, answered all our questions, went above and beyond. Our case come out on a good note and we can't be more thankful for all the efforts and hard work!!

The best attorneys and staff! Joe and Taylon went above and beyond for my case! They told me what their plans was going to be and it worked out exactly like they said.

An old adage….if you want to be successful, do what successful people do. For nearly a quarter of a century I lived in SW Missouri and would hear about the success of people that hired Dee Wampler and Joe Passanise. I could have never imagined I would be in the position of needing their representation. The moment I was I knew what to do. After Joe achieved an excellent outcome in my case, I can assuredly say I made the right choice. Highly recommended!!

After getting into legal trouble, Joseph Passanise and his team guided me on what steps to take. They are helpful and professional, and made the process the best it could be. My felony charges were reduced to a misdemeanor charge. While on probation, I had a violation and it ended up being dismissed. I highly recommend Passanise and his team for any legal issues you may have.

Over all very good opinion of firm. The support staff is excellent. In my case, I was innocent man with a vindictive ex-wife who weaponized LE against me. The fact I was in Greene Co and its prosecution considers 'Men to guilty who must be proven innocent" was a tough pill to swallow. At first I was with Dee, but after he passed away Joe and Taylon jumped in and did an excellent job. They helped me navigate the swamp that Greene Co. judicial system is. They answered my questions, prepared me for what was next. The resolution of my case was satisfactory and I feel just. If you have the misfortune to be arrested in Greene Co. Missouri I cannot recommend Joe and Taylon enough. Watching them in court is a true pleasure when they represent you.

Mr. Passanise took my case when I thought there was no hope. After meeting with him, he had things that he wanted me to do, not required by the court, but by him too help my case, which I did. After a couple hearings, my case was finally dismissed. I consider Mr. Passanise and his staff one of the best criminal law firms in the state.

Very professional, developed a strategic plan that ultimately netted the ultimate desired outcome of a dismissal of the case.

I was charged with a DWI and Refusal to Blow. Thinking that my life was completely over, I immediately started looking for the best attorney to represent me. Driving while intoxicated is not like it used to be, and not taking care of it properly can haunt a person for the rest of their life. I hired Joe and Taylon after researching the best attorney around. Joe and Taylon dug into my case and went above and beyond to find a solution that would save my reputation and help me beat my case. Today I am DWI free and have a second chance in life. If you’re looking to spend money and not get results, this law firm is not what you’re looking for. If you’re looking for a second chance in life and actual results. These experienced Attorneys will fight for you until the end and will get you the results you’re looking for. Joseph Passanise will always have my business for all of my legal needs. Do your research before you hire an attorney.

Joseph S. Passanise(“Passanise”) is top-notch, and his office staff and associates were great to work with during this legal process, and venture into the courts. This was the first time I had to deal with the courts within this capacity, and it was overwhelming. However, Passanise and his staff calmed me down, walked me through the process, expectations, procedures, and their strategy. When I spoke to other attorneys, they instantly recommended a plea agreement. Passanise and his staff took one look at the police report, and said we have problems with this, and how they executed my probable cause arrest. Knowing that the charges against me were frivolous, I was still concerned with how a judge would look at the matter. Passanise and his associates dissected every document, and was able to effectively communicate with the judge the faults, and many problems with my case. I understand a lot of people will say they did not commit this crime, and they’re being wrongfully prosecuted, you hear it all the time. But, I knew I was innocent of the allegations being made, and with the effective arguments they presented, THE PROSECUTOR ENDED UP DROPPING / DISMISSING ALL CHARGES. I owe Passanise and his team more than I could ever express, or put into words. Thank you for giving me my life back!

Our case took a long time, but ended with a great outcome. Joe, Taylon and their entire team worked hard for us and got result better than we’d hoped possible. They are smart, knowledgeable and persistent! Sarah and Teresa in the office kept us well informed and we could not have chosen a better team to help our family!

Everyone at Wampler & Passanise Law Office go above and beyond for their clients. They responded promptly anytime I had questions or concerns. They achieved an outcome better than I could have hoped for.

Very professional, walked you through every step of the process.

I had an excellent experience with Joe, Taylon, and their entire team. Joe took ownership of my case and explained every facet of the process thoroughly. He battled for me and gave me peace-of-mind knowing his expertise would result in a favorable outcome. It’s quite the experience to see Joe in court arguing for what we believe is right and basically dictating how proceedings should go. He definitely made myself and my family feel comfortable with our choice in a criminal defense lawyer. My charges were dropped all thanks to Joe and team.

Super satisfied with my results I definitely would recommend them and use them again

I would not have wanted anyone else helping our family navigate the legal process. It was clear from our first meeting that Joe and Taylon both care deeply about their clients, in addition to being fantastic at what they do. They were more than sufficiently thorough so that when the facts were presented the case was ultimately dismissed, as it should have been.

Joe Passanise assisted me with an extremely complex legal matter involving multiple federal agencies and numerous parties. His expert opinion, exceptional legal counsel, and outstanding client support for me throughout a 6+ year legal matter were simply amazing. Mr. Passanise made me feel comfortable and confident in some very difficult situations throughout this entire legal matter. His significant expertise helped achieve the best case resolution to this matter. I would highly recommend Mr. Passanise to anyone needing legal representation for any matter whatsoever. He is an extraordinary lawyer and an excellent individual who gives back to his community.

Joe did a wonderufl job in explaining the process to me. He was always professional and showed up to court. He kept me advised of all new developments in my case and answered all of my questions. I would recommend this attorney to anyone that is looking for someone that knows the process and goes above and beyond!

Best in town, professional and great to work with. Understanding and patient with my questions and concerns. Staff was very responsive and compassionate. Great experience and thankful for their expertise and service.

After hiring Joe, I knew I was in the best hands. He was kind and respectful, making sure l understood every step. He did not sugar coat anything. He prepared me for the worst and fought for the best. In the end, because of Joe’s hard work, the case was totally dismissed!!

Joe is the best in Springfield! He listened to everything I wanted as far as an outcome for my DWI case. He went above and beyond to get the results I recieved. I would recommend this office to anyone. As long as you do your part, you will get the best outcome possible. Thank you for your hard work on my case!

Wampler & Passanise were helpful, understanding, and prompt throughout my case I would recommend them to others.

The office achieved the best possible outcome for me in my case. Confident in their abilities to get the job done but difficult dealing with the office folks at times. That is truly my only complaint as they were not very polite or professional at times. Again, definitely recommend as they are good at what they do but the office needs a slight clean up.

Joe Passanise is an excellent defense attorney! He is very compassionate at what he does and has compassion for his clients as well. He lends a listening ear and helps guide you. He is highly recommended!

We were in a big bind and decided to hire Joe. He was very passionate about our case and talked with me whenever I didn't know what was going on. In the end, Joe did everything we never dreamed he would be able to do! I would highly recommend him for anyone who gets in a predicament.

Joe Passinsse has represented me a couple of times on various matters! He was accessible and worked really hard on my case! If you need a really great attorney in Missouri, call this office! They are very personable and will help you a lot!

Class B Felony, securing lower and lower charges until, eventually, the evidence was reviewed and the charges were dropped ENTIRELY. It took well over a year, but in the end, my tarnished reputation is now being restored... and so is my family.

I highly recommend this law firm. Very professional and efficient!!

Fantastic!!!!! If you need legal help, Look no further! These Guy's are The Best!!

This is a Very Good Law Firm and I highly recommend them to anyone, needing Good Legal Council.

Professional & detail oriented with a personal feel. Each member was interested in helping me & informing me when needed. Also, making the courtroom experience ‘better.’ I felt confident in the process & ‘my importance.’ Thank you

When my wife and I met Joe I was in a bad way. He listened and took notes and he really seem to care. He got some charges dropped and got the best possible outcome for me. He and his team have been extremely understanding and we would recommend him to anyone.

I first met Joe and was nervous and confused about my case. He reassured me that he would do everything in his power to ease those concerns and true to his word he did.

I got my self in a pretty good deal of trouble a few years back. Getting 2 DWIs within the same year, ones resulting in a car crash. Joe Passanise and his entire team worked with me to get one charges dropped, 60 hours of community service, and 2 years of unsupervised probation. They were friendly, professional, and extremely helpful in guiding me while handling my case. I am greatly appreciative of the work they put in for me and would highly recommend hiring them for any of one’s legal needs. I can’t thank them enough.

Working with Passanise and team was incredibly relieving when it came to stress involved with my case. They handled everything and made sure I was understanding every step of the way - including taking care of court fees when I was unable to get in touch with the municipal court to find out how to pay. Great all around!

Joseph Passanise is the literal best attorney you could ever have. Listens. Takes notes. Let’s you know every step of the way how he’s protecting/helping you! I’ve had him since I was 17 years old and he’s helped me in my hardest times and has helped me in situations where I wasn’t sure if I would make it out. Couldn’t ask for a better law firm!

Great and very easy going experience. As long as you commit to their advice and better yourself and listen to what they think and require of you,you will have a better outcome then you'll anticipate!Joe and his team know their trade front to back and from inside and out.Joe will fight for you through out your case!Thanks again for doing a excellent job!

If I could give Joe Passanise 100 stars, I would. Joe represented my fiancé in a very complicated federal case. Joe was very straightforward with my fiancé, and what my he needed to accomplish to better his situation and the possible out comes of his charges. Joe displayed compassion and understanding as he worked tirelessly to defend him. We were blessed with a good result (no prison time)in a case that should have ended with prison time. Without Joe’s dedication this would not have been accomplished. …Forever grateful….

I can’t even imagine choosing a different attorney’s office than this one. Unfortunately, I’ve needed an attorney on multiple occasions through out the years and I wouldn’t even hesitate before picking the Wampler Law Office. Joe Passanise and Taylon Sumners did an absolutely amazing job at trial. Forever Thanks to you both!!

Mr. Passanise provided unparalleled service during my families time of desperate need. His professionalism, compassion, and unrelenting work ethic led to my son receiving a second chance at a productive life. Joe’s guidance through this difficult time was invaluable. Joe and his team are a must hire for anyone facing serious criminal charges. You get what you pay for.

Mr Passanise was very professional and skillful. His team is also very sharp and helpful. All you could ask for in an attorney and his team.

Best attorneys in the Midwest. Took care of everything for me.

My case was long and hard, but the team did such a wonderful job. From the attorneys to the staff, the courtesy and professionalism was always present. I found compassion for our circumstances yet a fierce determination and advocation when it came time to do the work of the case. My outcome was even better than what I had hoped for, and I will be forever grateful. I would recommend this firm to any in need of legal representation.

Joe s THE BEST attorney in SW Missouri, no questions asked. If you have a severe legal issue, then this is the guy that you need representing you.

They did a great job keeping me informed and working with me to get positive results.

This law to my case on a short notices and has done everything I have asked them to do for me.

Joe Passanise was recommended to me, I went and talked to him and hired him. All my family and friends believed in me, Joe believed in me. I would recommend Joe to anyone.

Joe really knew what he was doing. I could actually sleep after hiring him, he put my mind at ease.

I was pleased with the services that Joe Passanise's office provided in my legal case.

The team at Wampler & Passanise provided a level of confidence and calm to a very stressful situation. The attorneys have a high level of experience and walk you through exactly what to expect out of the process, including all possible scenarios. Although it was not always fun to hear, it was appreciated. We worked with this team for several years to reach a conclusion and I feel like part of their family now. All the staff we worked with are caring and empathetic, which is an important quality when you are feeling like the rest of the world is not. It was well worth the cost to have their expertise in our corner.

For our almost 3 year legal nightmare, Dee, Joe and Taylon took control and impressed us every time they went before the court. This team was knowledgeable about the court system, judges and prosecutors and was able to anticipate, with about 90% accuracy what the next moves were going to be. Joe will not sugar-coat the situation, he will give you all possible outcomes, but will explain his strategy and how he will work for the best possible outcome, which he did in our situation. In addition, their office staff is superb! Always available and responding to our questions and very empathetic. I highly recommend Wampler & Passanise.

The folks at Wampler & Passanise are total professionals and expert at what they do. I was impressed by the passion of the attorneys and staff in the case. They didn’t quit, and brought a lot of knowledge and experience to bear. I recomnend them!

Mr. Passanise did an outstanding job for our family. He was thorough, dedicated, and professional. The court agreed with his arguments and granted his requests. We will have a better life because of his expertise and understanding of the law.

They are the number one law firm for Criminal law or if you need a firm that will help mitigate Federal or State Government overreach. They understand the public dynamics and winning in court as well in the court of public opinion. They put a team together to address any issue with any governmental body concerning civil or criminal. If you want to succeed, hire them.

From first day of meeting with Joe he listened and laid out a course of action we would take together to get the best end results possible.

Wampler and Passanise did an incredible job handling my case. They took my concerns and my review of case documentation seriously. Mr Passanise broke down the process and the details in ways I could understand providing me comfort in knowing the legal process. They also help you work on personal choices to make to not only better your profile for the system but in general for life choices up to and after the outcome is decided. I am very pleased with the representation that I received and the outcome of my case was what I had hoped.

Joe, Taylon, and their team at the law office were very effective in getting the results I needed. I highly recommend them, and I am grateful for their help.

This was a great experience with Joe and his associates. They took care of everything and gave us sound and realistic council. I can’t thank them enough!

From my first consultation with Joe in the office I felt at ease knowing I was in the right place and had made the right decision to hire him to represent my DWI case. He presented an organized plan for me to follow, kept the communication lines open at all times, and always treated me with respect. Most importantly he did everything he said he would do to properly represent my case and was able to get my charge dismissed! Also, everyone in the office is top notch and professional. Without a doubt, Joe Passanise is the best in the 417!

We have had a great experience working with this law firm. They have always been very responsive when we email or leave voice-mails. It's been such a relief working with people who care and do their best to help us the best they can. I've been working with Sarah alot lately and she has been amazing to work with. She is super nice and very easy to get ahold of through email or phone. I would highly recommend using this law firm.

Wampler and Passanise Law team is second to none! The work and effort they put into my sons case for nearly 5 years produced the best outcome we could ask for. They were up against insurmountable odds but never gave up. They helped us through the worst times of our lives. We are so grateful!

My family is very pleased with the representation we received from all of the associates and employees at Wampler & Passanise. The communication was excellent, fees reasonable and everyone we encountered within the firm was professional and showed compassion for my family. We understood and were made a part of the process every step of the way. I strongly recommend this firm.

I was very pleased with Wampler & Passinese law firm handling my case. They kept me informed of changes, and issues as the case progressed, and they explained the legal issues thoroughly to me.

I hold Wampler & Passanise in the absolute HIGHEST regard. My first choice for legal representation and my strongest recommendation to friends and family!

Through time and diligence he and his team got me an outcome I could 've never imagined possible. It does take a lot of work by the client which he set the expectation for right off the bat. I would HIGHLY suggest him to anyone!!

Wampler and Passanise Law is a hardworking, dedicated, and compassionate law firm top in it's field. There's no other that can compare to their level of excellence.

Joe and his team were able to reduce a felonious charge to a negligible misdemeanor and allowed me to focus on my life during the proceedings.

The staff of Wampler & Passanise law firm were very professional, compassionate, and determined to help me get the very best outcome in my situation. They worked hard on uncovering solid information that was helpful in my case. Bydoing Southey were ablate get me the very best outcome in my case.

After receiving my first DWI in August 2020 I consulted and hired Joe to represent me. His staff was very proactive in letting me know what I needed to be working on prior to my court date. While I thought communication was lacking sometimes , his staff (Sarah) kept assuring me that if there was any important issue I would be told. After alot of behind the scenes work they helped me get a settlement I could be happy with. While I hope and pray I never need them again, I would not hesitate hiring them again.

I am very grateful for the service Joe Passanise provided. Joe was very professional throughout the process, he was able to accommodate work and travel arrangements along with a big win at the end. Thanks Joe and team at Wampler & Passanise Law Office.

I am extremely pleased with the work Joe and Taylon have done with my son's case. They are both professional and friendly. They treat him fairly and take the time to explain what is happening with his case in terms that are easy to understand. I am confident they will always be looking out for my son's best interest.

When I found myself in several legal issues, I was fortunate to have found and hired Wampler & Passinise. They are the best! They worked tirelessly on my cases from beginning to end.

Joe and Taylon are absolutely amazing. I'm not supposed to reveal case details, however I will say that if I weren't certain of their credentials, I would accuse them of wizardry! I am shocked at how positive the outcome of my case was. I would 110% recommend them to anyone in need of legal representation. The best lawyers make up for the worst decisions and this firm is proof in action.

My family is beyond grateful to Joe, and Dee. They took what could have been a horrible situation and made it disappear! I'm so thankful for them!

I hired Joe Passanise and he did not disappoint. He took time to get the perfect outcome for me and kept me up to date on all things going on. If you find yourself in a tough spot, I see absolutely no reason to go any other direction for your representation.

I would highly recommend both Taylon and Joe Passanise. Both are very knowledgeable and highly skilled in criminal law..

I'm very pleased with Joe Passanise. He did exactly what he said he would do. I highly recommend him and the firm.

My husband found himself in a situation where we felt we had no where to turn but when we met with Joe he gave us hope. Not only did the outcome far exceed our expectations we were always treated with the upmost respect and full disclosure of all possibilities pertaining to his case. I would recommend Joe and his staff to anyone needing a voice. Sarah and Taylon are both amazing as well. I fully trust any piece of advice they'd give me.

I was going to be charged with 8 felonies as a first time offender and after doing some research I decided to hire Joe to represent me on this matter. He handled my case very professionally, kept me up to date on what was going on, and was able to get a deferred prosecution!! I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a criminal attorney because he has the client's best interest at heart and is an amazing attorney to have on your side.

great Law team. Worked hard to get the end result i was looking for.

I hired Joe in 2019. My Mom came with me as we sat and talked to him and immediately we both decided we wanted him to handle my case. I am a very big person with energy and can feel when people are fake or ingenious and just somehow felt so comfortable with Joe. I had so much fear running through me as a case is so scary. He has been dealing with my case for awhile and over that time he gave me instructions to which I followed. That was my part to do to help improve my life and my case and he inspired me to do that as I knew I needed to change my life. Over the course of the time frame that I have been involved with him and his office, I have reached out numerous times for questions or concerns or even when I was having anxiety, and I always was treated with concern and all my questions were answered and there was never a brushing off of me. I have what I would say a mentorship with Joe and Sarah...they have been straight up with me while guiding me to my best outcome. I am so grateful for Joe and all he is doing for me. I think he goes above and beyond what you would ever think of a lawyer. I can tell he is invested in me and my case. Also. whenever I call his assistant Sarah, she is right there. I am grateful for them. They are helping me change my life. It goes much deeper than a case. It’s your life you’re putting in their hands and I am so thankful he was put in my path to help me. He and Sarah will always be people I hold with high regards.

My hat is off to Joe and Taylon for their excellent professionalism . Very passionate about their work. I couldn't have hired anyone else and gotten the service that Joe gave. I Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. We can't leave Sarah out of the picture because she is working her self ragged behind the scenes . They all have done a remarkable job for me and I can't thank them enough. I recommend this law firm to anyone no matter what you're facing. You can count on Joe and his crew.

Joe, Taylon and the whole Wampler and Passanise law firm were very professional, supportive and caring in working on my case. It was a long and arduous process over an almost 4 year period, but given Covid and everything else surrounding the case I was very pleased with the outcome. I would recommend Joe, Taylon and the whole firm if you’re needing help with the legal expertise they offer.

Dee Wampler and Joe Passanise represented my son in a criminal case over the past 2.5 years. I chose them because of their reputation, but I recommend them because of their sincere interest and effort to help my son navigate the legal process and avoid a harsh sentence. As most legal issues are, my son’s was a complicated and difficult case with many possible negative consequences. Our lawyers focused on getting the best possible outcome under the circumstances and they were realistic and honest with us every time we communicated. They didn’t make promises they couldn’t keep. We were pleased with Wampler and Passanise Law Office throughout a long and difficult process. The office staff was always helpful and kind and during COVID they made video conferencing available to us which allowed us to avoid risky settings and saved us a lot of travel time. In the end the outcome of the case was as good as we could have hoped and we are more than satisfied with the services we received.

Joe and his team were able to get my 7 felonies down to 1 very low misdemeanor in one of the most corrupt counties in Missouri, Christian county. He was also able to get evidence the county was trying to hide to cover their BS charges. I don’t recommend living in Christian county, but I do recommend hiring Joe and his partner Dee if you have ANY kind of legal trouble. They are worth every cent. Great communication and very compassionate. Joe also does expungements, he’s the absolute best. Don’t risk your future and waste your money with a “cheaper” attorney. Thinking about hiring him? Be like Nike and just do it.

Mr. Passanise and his staff were professional, encouraging, supportive, and knowledgeable throughout the 2 1/2 year process my case took. Although things took long due to Covid and Mr. Passanise extending court dates, I understood why once I had my day in court. I did all the things he had requested me to do and I know that is why I had a favorable outcome. Mr. Passanise and his staff genuinely care for their clients and strive for positive outcomes for their clients.

Got recommended to see Joe and hired him when I was facing a Class b felony and jail time. He took my case serious and I'm happy to be living a normal life now without jail and probation

Joseph Passanise is an excellent attorney! He worked very hard on my case from the time I contacted his firm until the case was resolved, and even beyond that. He and his firm realize the drastic consequences that can come from failing to take a legal case seriously and work hard to make their clients aware of those consequences and prevent them. He takes a very practical approach to the handling of a case and fights for his clients until he gets a desirable outcome. The types of legal issues he handles are too serious to trust with someone else. You need the best, and that's definitely him. 10/10 would recommend him.

If you find yourself in trouble, you are definitely going to want to give Joe a call. Joe brings years of experience to your case and a proven track record with demonstrated results. Joe is extremely understanding and sympathetic to your situation. Trust Joe and his process. If you do everything he ask of you, I am confident you will get the best possible result given the circumstances; just as he was able to do with my case. Joe does a great job of explaining everything and I was never caught off guard by anything. Everything happened just as Joe said it would. Lastly, Joe helps you get your dignity back. He will get you your day in court and you will have your opportunity to tell your side. Thank you, Joe!

Joe is very friendly and professional. He speaks in a manner that you can understand and he doesn't judge you. You are able to get in touch with him or his office staff whenever you have a question. He is extremely knowledgeable and will make sure he gets you the best outcome possible.

Mr. Passanise got my case dismissed and I did not have to appear in court. I am glad I went with him instead of someone else. He provided me with valuable insight and advice to put me in the best position.

hired Joe and his team to help with some issues regarding my uncle. I have to say, I'm very pleased with our results and wouldn't hesitate to use Joe again. Thanks so much

Mr. Passanise and his staff were great. They gave me a list of exactly what I needed to do to help resolve my DUI case, explained what to expect from the process, and ultimately reached a settlement that was better than I had dared to even hope for. They have my highest recommendation!

This office is dedicated to your freedom and giving you a chance after a hiccup in the road. Not only do they get you the best results you could possibly hope for they also are patience and understanding the entire time. If your future is important to you hire this law firm! Everyone that works in this office is hard-working and dedicated to your success. Hiring the Law offices of Dee Wampler and Joe Passanise would be the best decision you could make for your future if your currently in a tough spot.

I hired Wampler & Passanise Law Firm in May and it was the best decision I made. I highly recommend. Joe, Taylon and Sarah worked wonders on my case and I could not be happier with the outcome. Thank you again for all the hard work, truly changed my life.

I was very pleased. Joe and Sarah did everything to help me with my situation. I would refer and use them if ever needed in the future

Mr. Passanise and his associates handled my case with expertise and experience. That is why I called Dee Wampler and Joe. I called the best for a reason. Mrs. Sumner took over my case and worked with the judge so I did not have to. My tickets were reduced and some even dropped!

Joe is amazing at what he does and when seeking an Attorney that is what you look for! He handled my situation with discretion, perfection, and I ended with a better outcome than ever expected!

I could not be more pleased with the representation of this law firm. They are honest, treat you with respect during a very low time in your life. They outline a plan and do exactly what they say they will do. They were able to get my case dismissed. Without this firm, my future would be very different at this time. I will always be very grateful to them.

My experience with this law firm and particular Joe Passanise and his paralegal team was nothing short of the most professional people I could have asked to have worked with. If you want the best in Springfield Missouri and surrounding area my recommendation would be to give Joe a call and see if he might be able to help you out too.

The Law offices of Dee Wampler and Joseph Passanise are exceptional at what they do. With their years of legal experience they have an abundance of knowledge and skill. They handle every detail with great attention and care. To put it bluntly, the Law offices of Dee Wampler and Joseph Passanise know exaclty what they are doing, and they do it exceptionally well.

Joe and team took care of everything I needed with my DWI. From laying a plan out before court to what I needed to do after. Definitely recommed!

When my teenager made a stupid mistake Joe was able to get them out of trouble and back on track.

Mr Passanise was very helpful and completely capable of handling our case. Mr Passanise was very flexible on scheduling meetings with us and we had every bit of confidence that he could arbitrate an "end result" that would be fair and agreeable to all parties involved. We had no problems with Mr Passanise, however, communication from the office or a call back when we left messages for office staff were lacking. My hope is that we will never need Mr Passanise's services again, but if we find ourselves in a position that we need legal counsel, we certainly won't hesitate to retain Mr Passanise. I feel like he is the right man for the job if you find yourself needing legal counsel and want to be represented by the best of the best.

Jo produced a great outcome for my husband. Staff were all nice, caring and respectful of any questions we had. Jo goes above and beyond for his clients.

Joseph (Joe) Passanise did a great job helping me with my case. He had a plan from the beginning and did just what he said he would do. He was reassuring, knowledgeable, and explained to me several times why we needed to stay the course when I was impatient with the systems delays. Sarah in his office is great to communicate with as well. She is very responsive and will find answers to your questions if she does not know them. I would highly recommend them for anything you need.

I highly recommend this law firm to anyone. Sarah and joe are great to work with Sarah always has the information you need and the steps you need to take to get your business taking care of. Very honest and trustworthy staff as well. Joe will work his tail off to get you the results you need highly recommend to any one looking for a law firm.

Working with Mr. Passanise has been a great experiment and his staff is always ready to help! Sarah will be right by your side every step of the way.

Sarah is my primary contact at the firm. She is truly WONDERFUL to work with and is always timely in her response to my questions! She has proven herself knowledgeable and trustworthy. I have been pleased to highly recommend this firm to my friends in Springfield.

We worked with many of the team members at the Wampler and Passanise firm over the course of the last three years. Every person we met with was very responsive, courteous and professional. Our interaction was unique because we had to manage our criminal case while living in another city several hours away. We wanted the best attorney firm in Springfield. A family friend referred us to Joe Passanise, and we received a call from him the next day. We felt comfortable from the beginning. Joe is well respected in the field, strategic, direct, and a straight shooter. Simply the best!

i would recommended this office, when handling my criminal case he not only took the time to make sure i had the best outcome but always dealt with the difficult task of getting me to complete everything on time. Joe and his staff were patient and kind they always gave me clear instructions on what needed to be done.

Have used this firm numerous times for numerous things and can’t really imagine anyone/firm being more of a class act than Joe Passanise and that of this firm. Choose them. You won’t regret it. They’re the best in the state without a doubt.

This office is the best in Missouri. They have worked hard of keeping my case civil and protecting me from jail time. They are upfront and honest

The very best ! Joe is very good at his job ! Trust him with my life ! I am almost 4 yrs sober know because of his help ! He cares about his clients!

Joe handled our case professionally and exceeded our expectations.

One of our children had an accident and we wanted to hire the absolute best attorney we could find to protect his future. Joe did a great job representing him and the outcome is what we prayed for. He made us feel like he had our best interests at heart and he helped us feel better when everything seemed so scary. His staff, especially Sarah was very knowledgeable and kind. As a parent raising children is hard and we are thankful that we had all of their team helping us.

Joe and his team are absolutely amazing. They actually listen to your concerns and get to know you during the process of your case. Joe goes above and beyond to make sure you are happy with your results.

I hired Joe and Dee to handle a couple of issues, one very serious and they treated me like family, worked so very hard on my case and got an outcome that saved my life. They both truly are super lawyers. Their paralegal, Sarah was one of the greatest people I've ever dealt with too. She got back to me on every email very quick and was comforting, friendly and knowledgeable about my case. The same goes for Sandy who's been with Dee and Joe for many years. They are not any average firm. They do handle the toughest of cases and are the best by far. I couldn't be any happier with their performance and would recommend them to anyone who needs the very best to represent them in court.

I had the pleasure of meeting Wampler and Passanise Law firm half way through a federal case. I wasn't prepared! They promptly reviewed the charges and the legal process with me, providing their expertise & guidance throughout the months. I felt confident as I understood what to expect. We were pleased with the shorter sentencing & encouraged with drug & educational program. I am thankful for having such an outstanding team of defense attorneys.

I wanted to say tank You to Joe and his staff (Sarah) for helping me resolve my legal issues in Missouri. If I had a question, they had an answer and ultimately a resolution. Thank you again very much and if I ever have the opportunity to recommend your services, well I recommend Joe Passanise if you want your issues handled professionally and resolved professionally!!!

This is definitely the law firm you want to represent you. I am so grateful to have them next to me in court. I don't believe any other law firm would have been as helpful.

The lawyers and paralegals are extremely knowledgeable and professional in their areas of expertise. I would highly recommend Joe Passanise and his paralegal Sara Shewmaker.

Scott and Joe did a great job with my case. Sarah was great with her correspondence with me throughout case. This firm will do everything they can to help ..

Joseph Passanise took on my DUI case defending me against the city of Springfield. He went over and beyond to not only keep my DUI off of my record, but also a few other tickets. He by far deserves 5 stars for his extraordinary performance in my defense. Again I am more than thankful and grateful for his help.

This was a complicated and complex case and Mr. Joe Passsnise is not only a very talented attorney, he is a strategic thinker. This was the qualitative difference and the reason for the charges against the defendant, were dropped. Our interaction with his team was also was very positive.

Working with Mr. Passanise was an absolute breeze and he made sure I was up-to-date with everything that was going on in my case. I would highly recommend him for any case that you may have. All of his staff is amazing and made the difficult time easier.

Joe took care of all the details. He was very knowledgeable and sensitive to our case.

Joe and Sarah were tremendous. They guided me through a long and complicated case with patience. They worked with passion to get me the best possible outcome.

Joe and his staff could not be more professional, and I am very pleased with his representation. If you need an attorney he is the one. I believe no other attorney in the area would have achieved the same results. So hire the best!

Best outcome given the circumstances of my case. Support staff not always the best, but taylon and Joe were good.

Hello, I am Ekrem K?l??. On 12/13/2023, I went to Baystate Noble Hospital in Westfield for a checkup. I worked in pizza delivery at a workplace for 8 months. At that time, I did not realize that I was given medication or that something was put in my food or drink until I got sick. As my illness progressed, customers started telling me that they were sick and that I should go to the doctor as soon as possible. After getting the corona vaccine in Turkey, I can't smell much. Maybe because I have meat in my nose. I came to this country as a refugee, I had no health problems, now I lost my teeth and oral health. I went to the hospital after this complaint, I almost fainted. That day, they just took blood from me, then they told me to undress, and I thought there was something in my blood. They put me in a room, threw me into a cold room, confiscated my phone and even my underwear. All the food they gave me made me sleep for 4 days, then what happens, I still feel like I'm going to faint, you didn't give me medicine, you didn't put serum, what are you trying to do to me, I said why did you take me hostage, I came because of the wounds on my tongue and weakness, you are keeping me here by force, this is a crime, I said call the police and let them come. They threw me into that room saying "we won't call and you can't call either". They put 2 security guards and a nurse at the door. I started screaming and calling the police because they were holding me by force, but they didn't care about my illness. My head was literally cracking. I will sue all of you, I will file a lawsuit for material and moral damages. This is a big crime you've done. You can't keep me here. I told you, people. They said we will get a report to see if you will cause any harm or not. They took orders from whomever they took and took me hostage. This is a huge crime. When I said I would report you to the necessary authorities, they started to apologize to me, but at that time I was not feeling well at all. Did someone offer you money to get this report? I said I will not let go of the matter and I will complain to the ice police. They took me out of the hospital quickly on the 4th day, that is, 12-/17/2023 at 12:09, they said sorry, they said please excuse me, they left me because I said I would file a lawsuit for compensation, please help me, I still haven't come to my senses for those 4 days. The food they gave me throughout the day made me sleep with 2 sheets in a freezing room.
