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.

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!

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!

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

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.

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!

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.

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!!

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.

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!

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!

If I could give Joe Passanise 100 stars, I would. Joe represented my fianc? in a very complicated federal case. Joe was very straightforward with my fianc?, 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?.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
