Contacted Joe to inquire on a pending case and second opinion. He called back promptly, took time to listen, read through items I sent and I feel gave great advice. I hope to not need a lawyer in the future but if I did I’d be contacting him. Thanks for your time Joe,

T.L.

I had an excellent experience working with Mr. Serpa. He was pleasant, extremely knowledgeable and clearly cared about helping me. I can't recommend him or his services enough. When you need an attorney you want the best and this man is the best.

M.R.

Very quick response with each email and phone call. Walks you through all your inquiries from start to finish.

O.M.

I would absolutely recommend Joe's services. His knowledge of the law; the ins and outs of the court system turned our upsetting situation calm. Joe's a straight forward guy whose approach is to cut to the quick (get to the heart of the manner). He doesn't sugar -coat outcomes, he's honest. That being said, Joe has the gift of empathy which allows trust to be built easily between lawyer and client. Because of this trust, the comfort of putting our case in Joe's hands was genuinely a sigh of relief......case got dismissed.

R.S.

Best attorney in the area. Highly Recommended!

You can be assured Attorney Serpa will guide you properly (even if it’s not what you want to hear ) and will always be , “in your corner“.

C.P.T.

My experience with Joe has been excellent. With a rather straight forward case Joe went out of his way to make himself available any time I needed him even though I probably wasn’t his toughest assignment. He made a rather difficult process very easy during an incredibly difficult time in my life. Would recommend to anyone.

A.J

Serpa law office was my attorney of choice for 2 seperate cases I had last year. With both situations, Joseph not only treated me great, delivered the results I was hoping for, and was extremely professional and genuine. I would definitely recommend this law office to anyone in need of legal help.

P.C.

I contacted Joe outside his normal working hours a bit panicked after being at the police station for a firearms related charge. He returned my call within 5 minutes and setup a plan to deal with the charges against me. He was able to work with the prosecutor/DA to dismiss two of the charges I was facing. For the final charge, he was able to work it down to a highly favorable outcome that I am more than happy with. Throughout the entire process, he kept me informed and let me know my various options/avenues I could take. Scheduling with him was easy, and he was able to get it all done very quickly. I would recommend that anyone facing legal charges or with legal questions contact Joe. Throughout the entirety of my legal proceedings, he seemed very knowledgeable on how the system worked, and the strategies that we could take.

B.H.

Joe prepared my case for trial and he managed my case to be dismissed before trial. He is a professional lawyer who knows the justice system very well. I am very happy that I hired him.

H.A.

I reached out to several lawyers for my father who was being charged for domestic A&B and was already held in custody. I had many concerns for him given his not so clean history and was worried he might be incarcerated and/or deported. I was able to meet with Joe in person and talk in depth about what happened and what to expect later on. He was extremely thorough, patient, and compassionate about this whole situation. I appreciated that he didn't give me any false hopes because other lawyers I spoke to sugarcoated the situation making me wary. Joe never made it seem like a problem to call him. He'd always return my calls within the next 10 minutes. My primary concern was that the old lawyer didn't have time to coordinate her schedule with the interpreter to visit my dad. This is why I had to switch counsels. I do understand getting a court certified interpreter is very difficult and having to coordinate a time with a lawyer is even tougher on short notice but Joe handled this process effortlessly and never made it sound like a hassle. He was persistent in court and scheduled a trial date a week after my dad's hearing which was incredibly fast. I heard usually trial dates can take a long time maybe from half a year to a year but obviously it depends on the situation. In the end, Joe got my dad's case dismissed and he has been a tremendous help in rebuilding my family. I genuinely recommend Joe to anyone who is seeking help and I'd hire him again in a heartbeat if need be.

D.L.

Attorney Serpa is the best in the business, hands down. I reached out to several different law offices before Joe, following a reckless driving charge, and they all either wanted exorbitant fees, had no idea what they were talking about, or felt the need to consult with several different lawyers for one case. When I called Joe, he had advice for me right away on what to do in my instance, offered a fair price for his service, and was prompt and clear in answering all of my questions. He helped me get back to driving (which is important as a car salesman!) and all of the charges against me dismissed. I have already recommended him to a friend and will save his number in case I ever have any issues again!

J.C.

I reached out to Mr. Serpa in a panic because my son was involved in an altercation and faced 5 felony counts and 2 misdemeanours. When I read the police report, I felt certain he was going to do time behind bars as the charges seemed so serious. Mr. Serpa gave good and sound recommendations on how to handle the matter. He was polite, reassuring, calm (which helped me sleep at nights) and also very realistic - no false hopes but solid information and preparation. We felt we were in the best hands and we could not have been any more accurate with that presumption. My son's case was dismissed and he is getting some needed professional help for anger management. Words are inadequate to express the level of trust as well as our heartfelt gratitude for his management of this case. If you have a case that requires an excellent criminal defense attorney, then this is a no brainer - it's Serpa Law all the way! Rest at nights and leave it in his hands. He will work on your behalf for the best possible outcome!!!!!!! 5 S.T.A.R.S *****

J.A.W.

Attorney Sepra is an excellent lawyer and more than his outstanding work, he is a great human being as well. I called his law firm when he is on vacation. He immediately called me back and gave me some very valuable suggestions. I will certainly recommend Attorney Sepra to my friends.

N.R.

Impeccable with his service. I would recommend him to anyone friends and family.

P.L.

Joe is the best criminal defense lawyer you could find in Boston. Please read through my experience if you think otherwise. Hope this review can help get you on track to getting your life back. Six weeks ago I was arrested for and charged with a serious crime I did not commit. The case was dismissed two hours ago and writing Attorney Serpa a review is the first thing that came to mind. Not only the quick dismissal (anyone familiar with this type of situations can tell you that normally cases like this would take up to at least 3-6 months) happened due to his sharp mind, great knowledge and tremeoundous experience, he made the waiting period much less painful by being unbelievably responsive and patient. I am sure some of you reading this review would find yourself in a similar situation: having to deal with this country’s legal system for the first time and realizing your world is about to be turned upside down. Your only hope is to make the situation go away but have no idea how. If this is the case, you really need an attorney that can tell you everything will be okay. After bail I had very little time to find myself legal representation, so I googled a few names and went with the first lawyer that returned my call. The initial attorney who took my case was rude and impatient. He never replied my calls / texts on time and was consistently cutting me off when I was making a point. He showed up late to court every time and was never prepared to present to the judge. As a result the case didn’t go anywhere and having to deal with him made me more stressful than I already was. Finally I decided to cut the cord and start to look for another lawyer. I then did extensive research on criminal defense lawyers by reading all the reviews I could find. I asked around for referrals and spoke to 10-15 lawyers about my situation. During this process, Joe really stood out - he returned my call immediately and listened to what I had to say carefully. He never interrupted me once even though I was repeating a lot of the points due to high stress. He gave his professional opinion and never pressured me to hire him. After the initial call, Joe even met with me for another 30-40 minutes in person before I formally engaged with him. No one else out of the people I spoke with had this level of care and professionalism. After the engagement, Joe made me feel like he was in this with me. Every time I had questions or doubts, he would respond to my calls or texts within an hour or two. He consistently told me things would be okay and also backed the conclusion up by explaining his strategy and plan every step of the way. He even proactively checked in on me when he sensed high level of stress. Joe also took a huge burden off my shoulders by handling the communication with my employer - he was able to calm them down successfully and provided timely updates so there’s a better chance I could get my job back (I was put on administrative leave after what happened). In court, Joe was always able to make his points to the judge and the DA without offending anyone. Both times we were in court (hearing and trial day), we were able to get what we wanted - a quick trial and the final dismissal. After sitting in court for 3-4 long sessions and hearing all the cases being presented, I can confidently make the statement that sharp minds like Joe’s don’t come by that often. A lot of the attorneys (including the first one I had) would just cave in to the judge when DAs make a strong point. But Joe always stood firm and presented our case using his confident and convincing tone. Overall, I feel so fortunate that I was able to work with Joe. He genuinely cared about my feelings and wanted the problem to go away for me. He gained my trust and I cannot thank him enough for what he did.

C.W.

Very well prepared and honestly just a very nice person in general

C.M.

Joe was a tremendous asset during our process - Very helpful, highly networked, and vastly knowledgeable. He was fair and honest during the entire process and worked tirelessly to get us the outcome we desired. Highly recommend his services. 5 stars all the way.

M.A.

World class attorney, always there when you need him. He worked nonstop on my case and got it dismissed

D.D.

Joe was very diligent. I would definitely recommend him to anybody. He’s very well suited for what he does and is very knowledgeable as well. His demeanor is impeccable. He listens attentively and works through everything. I’m entirely grateful for his work.

G.I.R.

I reached out to these guys recently for help with a friends issue. The response we received was overwhelming. The expertise and knowledge of the law and processes surrounding the accused was simply unbelievable. Mr. Serpa’s commitment to his clients and justice is unparalleled. If you want a lawyer who is on your side and dedicated to your case and making you feel valued human citizen then give Joe a call, please, for your own sake.

T.O.

Joe Sherpa is an amazing law office. They were helpful, kind and amazingly patient with us. The kind of work they do is next level. You really know you are taken care of by these trusted lawyers. Thank you for your help.

S.P.

Mr. Serpa sees cases with a sharp eye; he's insightful in his analysis, firm, and fair. I highly recommend him--especially if your life depends on your case.

B.L.

Joe was the sole reason for me to allow my career without hesitation. He is passionate and so kind in the court as well. He helped me seal a case that was initially a felony (which he reduced to a misdemeanor with pre-trial probation) AND it was dimissed after a year. We called a few lawyers and he was the only one who met us right away and one we could trust with something that could impact my career. It was dismissed recently but because I needed to have a background check soon; it needed to be sealed. The court was hesitant on sealing the case; but he was able to convince the judge otherwise. He has an amazing understanding of what to expect from the judge, DA, prosecuters, and knows what to do. If you feel like you were put in a situation that was not under your control or your "fault"; he can truly represent you and save your career. We know he has represented a lot of educationally-driven people who require these sort of cases to be sealed or dismissed in order to work. There is zero hesitation for us to refer him to any collegues who may need him and he is a great lawyer for criminal cases. I hope this review helps others as we know it's hard to find someone online when something so stressful is going on. Had we hired anyone else, I HIGHLY doubt I would still be able to continue my career. All the best for anyone reading this.

A.S.

Words alone will not suffice to express all the gratitude we have for Attorney Serpa. In addition to being extremely knowledgeable, he is passionate about what he does and sincerely cares about his clients well being. When you first call him, he does not jump into talking about his fee structure, which many others do, but Attorney Serpa prioritizes to understand, help and protect his client. He does not waste time nor wait until the situation gets far complicated but gets into action immediately. He goes above and beyond to ensure the client is protected, taking all the pressure onto himself and comes up with a strategy to get the best possible outcome. Having Attorney Serpa represent you means that you are in good, honest, and reliable hands. Not to mention that he is very kind, sympathetic, and a wonderful person. We highly recommend Attorney Serpa- he is like an iron curtain protecting his client.

L.Z.

Attorney Serpa had unbelievable experience and the calmness to handle my case. His calmness was the best thing in my case and especially when I was worried about what would happen. I would recommend 10/10 times. Keeping him on your side will keep your mind at ease.

V.A.Y.

If you have been falsely accused of something, Joe is the best person to go too. He is smart, honest, and hardworking. He spent his weekend to prepare for my court on a short notice case of false accusations against me. At the court he was well prepared and managed the entire hearing with respect and wisdom. I won the case. He saved my job, and my future.

Joe Serpa is simply a honest, compassionate and understanding attorney. He listens well, very prepared and very, very knowledgeable as it regards to his field, criminal law.

I had never been arrested. I was facing serious charges, Assault with intent to murder. My daughter found Attorney Joe Serpa's website and reached out to him. She knew I needed an attorney that had the skills and experience with the criminal courts. I've thanked her numerous times for finding him. I was beyond overwhelmed. I was frantic. His calming pressence, knowledge, confidence and sense of humor (thank God), let me know I had someone fighting for me. He explained everything to me, more than once cause that's what I needed. One of the Court offices told my family, "your mother has a good lawyer there," knowing the Court spoke highly of Attorney Serpa eased their fears. I thougt my life was over but thanks to Attorney Serpa I never went back into Framingham State prison again. Thank you, Joe!

J.M.

Joe Serpa’s comprehensive knowledge concerning the recent changes in the 2018 Massachusetts Criminal Justice Reform Laws was instrumental in helping me navigate the new procedures for successfully sealing a criminal record in the CORI system. His legal expertise and guidance was invaluable. I would highly recommend his services.

M.S.

Joe assessed situation accurately and carried and delivered on his assessment. What’s more, in handling a delicate matter for my daughter, he gave her the confidence to go forward and resolve her legal problem. He responded quickly and thoughtfully to any concern we had. I couldn’t recommend him more highly.

C.K.

Lucky to find such a competent attorney for a family member. His credentials speak for themselves; a graduate of the best law school in the country, Georgetown University. With his experience and knowledge, best possible outcomes were awarded; a true win!! As we began our work together I also realized he is a truly kind and compassionate person. Important to have an advocate like him on your side. He always demonstrated the highest of character and integrity from beginning to end Strongly recommend Mr Serpa

P.S.

I got referred to attorney Serpa through a lawyer friend. When I discussed my case with my friend, she immediately asked me to contact attorney Serpa because if one can handle this case , would be Joe. Attorney Serpa was very responsive and very much assuring. He listened to me very well and understood my position and nature of the problem. Without waisting any time, he handled my case in my favor and didn’t allow it to even go to the court. The legal fee was also very much reasonably fair. Joe, thank you very much for your help.

F.G.

Attorney Serpa was impeccable with his work and ethics. He had my case dismissed on the trial date, I would highly reccommend attorney Serpa.

K.A.

From all the attorneys that I interviewed with, Joe Serpa was/is the best spoken, down to earth and gave me the most confidence.

Do yourself a favor and make him your partner at the most confusing time of your life, it will be the best decision you’ll ever make!

Joe Serpa impressed me. I was a random guy in need of a legal advocate. I got a couple of referrals, and I randomly choose Joe Serpa. While waiting for my first and second choice to call me back, I called Serpa’s Law office. Mr. Serpa called back that same day, we discussed my needs that same day, and we agreed he could help. He filed the proper documents with the court, and I received the need documents soon after. Wow!

J.

I want everyone to that read my post to hired joe for their case, you will not go wrong. Best choice I ever made.

C.C.

Signed, SEALED, and he Delivered! I had two dismissed charges showing up on my CORI and it was preventing me from finding employment opportunities. The first time we went into court the judge denied our petition. Joe suggested we wait some time before filing another petition. He also suggested that I fill out some new job applications to help my petition and show that I was in fact looking for jobs. I took his advice and the dismissed charges were sealed. You get what you pay for and more. Thank you Joe Serpa, you are the best!

M.G.

I wish I had contacted Joe at the beginning of my case. Unfortunately I was being represented by someone else who blew it at the magistrate hearing. When I was going to now be arraigned on criminal charges I reached out to Joe on a sunday. I left a voice message expecting a call back on Monday. Well Joe called me about 20min later. After speaking with him and discussing a little bit about the situation he agreed to meet with me that following week. Joe was amazing he fought hard on behalf of me and was able to get the case dismissed. Do yourself a favor. If you need help with a case dont "try" someone else just call Joe. He was always reachable even through text messages. Always told me upfront the possible outcomes even though he was able to get it dismissed. Joe is very personable. He is a caring, family orientated, professional lawyer who is amazing at what he loves to do. Thanks again Joe!

K.W.

After finding myself in a compromising situation, I began the quest to find a defense attorney. Searching became more stressful than the situation itself, I found nothing but pushy and pessimistic lawyers, no one felt like a good connection. But then I finally found Joe, who called me back promptly, the very same day I contacted his office. His calm and gentle demeanor drew me in. Nonjudgmental and having an open approach, he takes the time to listen to his clients, despite how ridiculous the predicaments are that we find ourselves in. In court, he maintains his cool composure but fights aggressively and successfully for his clients, without ever raising his voice the slightest octave. It’s refreshing to see that a long career in law has not drained him of his humanity as it often does with others. His genuine concern/dedication for clients goes a long way and speaks volumes on his character. I would hire him again and recommend him to family members and friends. Even long after my court date, Joe continues to serve as a valuable resource and help me with my situation. Thank you so much Joe!

K.S.

After my experience I would recomen Aterny Joe Serpa he is very fateful and responsible,to his job, being represented by Joe Serpa the fearful ghost of no show up that sometime torments does not exists.

I cannot say enough good things about Attorney Serpa. From his attentiveness, compassion, calming, caring demeanor, and attitude ,has goes a long way. He is very responsive and caring to clients situations. I’ve had legal troubles in the past and I wish I had found Attorney Serpa a lot sooner because I think I would be in a different situation with his representation earlier. Thank you Joe for all your help and hard work me and my family really appreciate it.

I was looking for a lawyer, and found Serpa law office online. After our initial meeting I was positive I wanted Serpa law to handle my case. I went to court two times for the case, both times I was the first one to be called, and I was in and out of court within a hour. The case was dismissed thanks to serpa law, I would strongly recommend anyone and everyone to use this law firm, the cost was affordable, and my lawyer even traveled over a hour, to take the case.. Thank You for getting my case dismissed, I will strongly recommend you to all my friends and family!!

J.T.K.

I would Highly recommend Serpa Law Office to anyone who is in trouble with driver license issues. Jose Serpa was impeccable with his work and ethics. I really appreciate how he solve the case before arraignment. The best law firm.

A.A.

Having Joe in your corner makes traversing the Boston legal system much easier. Not only is he very professional but he also breaks down the potential outcomes to layman's terms. The outcome of my case would not have been nearly as favorable without Joe and I would recommend him to anyone I know going through a tough situation in the court system.

B.C.

Joe helped my cousin in their most vulnerable time and was the only person for them to make them feel like their life was not going to be over. The situation my cousin was in left them hopeless about continuing their career and Joe was able to get the entire thing resolved just 5 days after the arrest. Our family is so happy to have worked with him and do not think any other lawyer could have reduced the charge and had it dismissed so quickly.

S.D.

I had a matter I had some questions about, and Joe went above and beyond the call of duty to give me a full picture of the situation. I really appreciate his dedication and humanity.

R.S.

Truly an outstanding attorney with all of the qualities needed. Joe has the highest integrity, very experienced, very knowledgeable, strategic, thorough and confident.

He had been very responsive to my inquiry/questions throughout the process, just a phone or text away, and had always provided thoughtful and solid advice and counsel. My entire experience with Joe was very pleasant and satisfactory. He got us the outcome we wanted.

Y.H.

I initially used Mr. Serpa's website "contact us" form for a consultation and he immediately called me back and advise me on what I needed to do. After I followed his advice, I hired him, I thought the process was going to take several months to resolve, it only took 3 weeks!!! I wanted to cry when he emailed me to say "here it is and best of luck" Thank you, Joe! I'm forever thankful.

I.T.

Joe is definitely Boston's best criminal defense attorney. I would recommend him to anyone who is going through a tough situation involving the criminal court. Joe was very PROFESSIONAL and very HELPFUL during my case and was able to get my case dismissed! Although I am very grateful for Joe dismissing my case, I will miss him staying by my side during the tough situation I was going through. I am very happy I chose him as my lawyer because now my life is finally going back to normal! Thank you so much Joe!

Hiring Attorney Joe Serpa was one of the best decisions I have ever made. He has an incredible ability to tell you all your available legal options and the ramifications of each one. Once you have made a decision on a course of action, Joe fights tenaciously and tirelessly on your behalf. It was obvious to me right away that the Judge and the opposing Counsel in my case respected him and admired his abilities and knowledge of the law. Joe was able to get me the absolute best possible resolution of my case, even better than I had hoped for, against overwhelming opposition. Joe Serpa is THE attorney you want standing by your side. You will be glad you called him!

D.C.

Mr. Serpa is a wonderful attorney!! He is highly professional and experienced in his profession. Mr. Serpa provides excellent advice during consultations. He is very reliable and always returns phone calls and messages within less than 24 hours. And most importantly, he is a truly caring individual. He is an attorney who cares about getting to know you as a person and supporting you with 100% effort. I couldn't have chosen a better attorney!

E.H.

From the first meeting I met Attorney Joe Serpa he made me feel at ease. I was in a tricky situation and needed my case not only resolved favorably but by a certain date. I am a going for a licensure in a profession where having a record would prevent me from taking the boards. Throughout the whole process, Attorney Serpa was available, answering all my emails and letting me know what I needed to do to help my case be resolved. Left court today with my case being wrapped up. One court appearance and that's it. Attorney Serpa did exactly what he said he would and I got the results I needed. He seemed to know all the right people at the Boston courthouse. I would recommend him to anyone.

P.B.

Joe was extremely wonderful! He really took the time to listen to what I was saying. Answered back right away when contacted and was very clear when explaining options and rights. He did great at my hearing, overall I would definitely chose him to represent me again or refer him to anyone needing legal help. Thanks Joe!

M.M.

I can't say enough about how helpful Joe Serpa has been for me and my family. I went through a long and unproductive process with a public defender who did not respond to phone calls and frequently failed to appear at my court dates without communicating with me. I felt that I needed to find a new attorney and I am very happy to have found Mr Serpa. He got right back to me within an hour of my calling and took the time to listen to all of my concerns and offer advice right away before I had even officially hired him. Whether by phone or through E-mails Joe has always been available to answer any of my questions quickly and thoroughly. I never would have expected to be in a situation where I would need a defense attorney but Mr Serpa has done wonders to ease my fears during an uncertain and scary situation. Should you ever find yourself in the unfortunate position of requiring a criminal defense attorney you really want someone like him on your side. More than just a good lawyer Joe Serpa is a good, caring man who has always treated me with respect and compassion. At no time have I ever felt that he was giving my case anything less than 100% of his effort. He has always treated me like not merely a client but a person who he genuinely cares about helping.

N.S.

This was by far the best legal experience one could hope for! Attorney Serpa was diligent in responding to my needs. When you ask him a question his responses and thoughts are expressed in a very clear and concise manner. He prevented a life changing event from negatively impacting my life. If you have any criminal issues, problems or charges or anything, you really should call Joe Serpa. He is one of the few attorneys’ that I know who will give you their cell phone number and take calls and text at any hour day or night. Thank you Joe!

J.A.

I have a PhD in Electrical Engineering. I was arrested and falsely accused of domestic A&B after I called the police to protect me. My first lawyer gave me wrong advise and made the situation worse. Joe Serpa came to the rescue and talked to the complainant. With one phone call Joe got her to co-operate again to get my case dismissed. If you have any criminal issues, problems or charges, I can bet Joe Serpa will solve them for you and get the result in your favour. My hats off to Joe Serpa's expertise, experience and understanding beyond the limitations of pure legalistic interpretation of the criminal law. I highly recommend Joe Serpa as an excellent Lawyer.

A.A.

Attorney Serpa is an awesome attorney! I hired him for an assault and battery case. As you can imagine I was a nervous wreck. His demeanor and work ethics are superb. I would highly recommend his legal services to anyone in need of a professional lawyer.

C.B.

Joe Serpa is very professional, knows what he is doing and actually cares about his clients. He managed to dismiss my case without any formal record after I was charged for a hit-and-run. I would definitely recommend him. You can always get in contact with him quickly and he is a very good lawyer.

M.T.

Mr. Serpa was amazing. I had a very old court case that I came back to Boston for. He handled everything very professionally and all charges were dropped. I really have to thank him and his firm for handling my case and taking care of all the headaches I would have had to go through.

E.L.

My experience with Attorney Serpa was wonderful! He represented me in two different cases and was impressive to say the least. Always a phone call or text message away. Confident and aggressive when he needed to be. Calming and thorough when meeting with me. Attentive to detail. Both of my cases ended in dismissals thanks to the help of Attorney Serpa. Without any hesitation, I would recommend Attorney Serpa to anyone who needs a GOOD lawyer because he is the best!

F.R.

Diligent, resourceful, client focused with years of experience . Very professional and trustworthy.

L.O.

Mr. Serpa helped me out of a hard time. He prepared me for the proceeding, he took time to answer all of my questions and was very reassuring. He made me feel like he had a handle of what was going on. I'm very grateful, he did a wonderful job.

E.R.

An excellent attorney. He has the requisite skills, temperament, and disposition.

R.C.

Mr. Serpa did excellent work in getting a protection order for my daughter. He returned my call promptly and met with us the same day. He had a plan and worked through the evening so that we could go to court the next day. He spoke reassuringly to my daughter and walked her through the court process. He was very knowledgeable about the proceedings and worked with us to meet our goals of keeping our daughter safe. Joe cares about his clients and makes himself available for consultation during and outside of normal business hours. I would highly recommend Joe Serpa to friends and family.

D.T.

Joe was a great lawyer. He was quick to get to work on the case and always kept me informed in everything that was happening even if that meant he hadn't heard anything and we were still waiting. He was very forthright with what to expect and got me the best possible deal that I could've asked for. Would definitely recommend him to anyone.

E.L.

Mr. Serpa knows what he's doing, and he handled my case keeping my best interest in mind. He was responsive and always available. He ended up exceeding my expectations. I highly recommend him.

L.B.

Joe is an honest, talented, and tenacious attorney. I recommend him to anyone looking for effective representation.

K.C.

Joe is a trustworthy, hard-working and diligent professional. He handled my case in November and I could not be happier with the legal assistance he provided. Joe was extremely well versed and up to date about the current legal and political climate pertaining to my matter. Joe is an attorney that truly cares about his clients and gives his best so they can succeed. Mr. Serpa is a tremendous asset and I would recommend his legal services to anyone in need of a professional lawyer.

D.S.

Attorney Serpa handled my divorce and did an amazing job. Because of that I recommended him to a friend of mine in a tough spot in need of a good lawyer. My friend was very pleased with the way the case was handled and he was back to normal in no time. If you need honest representation from someone who really cares and will fight for you - hire Attorney Serpa. Highly recommended.

C.M.

I've referred several criminal matters to Attorney Serpa. He's handled each capably and with excellent results. He is aggressive, hard working and professional. 5 stars.

M.N.

Attorney Serpa was excellent when I needed legaI advice. I referred him to a close friend and he did fantastic job as their lawyer as well. Highly recommend him.

L.K.

Joe was the sole reason for me to allow my career without hesitation. He is passionate and so kind in the court as well. He helped me seal a case that was initially a felony (which he reduced to a misdemeanor with pre-trial probation) AND it was dimissed after a year. We called a few lawyers and he was the only one who met us right away and one we could trust with something that could impact my career. It was dismissed recently but because I needed to have a background check soon; it needed to be sealed. The court was hesitant on sealing the case; but he was able to convince the judge otherwise. He has an amazing understanding of what to expect from the judge, DA, prosecuters, and knows what to do. If you feel like you were put in a situation that was not under your control or your "fault"; he can truly represent you and save your career. We know he has represented a lot of educationally-driven people who require these sort of cases to be sealed or dismissed in order to work. There is zero hesitation for us to refer him to any collegues who may need him and he is a great lawyer for criminal cases. I hope this review helps others as we know it's hard to find someone online when something so stressful is going on. Had we hired anyone else, I HIGHLY doubt I would still be able to continue my career. All the best for anyone reading this.

A.S.

Words alone will not suffice to express all the gratitude we have for Attorney Serpa. In addition to being extremely knowledgeable, he is passionate about what he does and sincerely cares about his clients well being. When you first call him, he does not jump into talking about his fee structure, which many others do, but Attorney Serpa prioritizes to understand, help and protect his client. He does not waste time nor wait until the situation gets far complicated but gets into action immediately. He goes above and beyond to ensure the client is protected, taking all the pressure onto himself and comes up with a strategy to get the best possible outcome. Having Attorney Serpa represent you means that you are in good, honest, and reliable hands. Not to mention that he is very kind, sympathetic, and a wonderful person. We highly recommend Attorney Serpa- he is like an iron curtain protecting his client.

L.Z.

Attorney Serpa had unbelievable experience and the calmness to handle my case. His calmness was the best thing in my case and especially when I was worried about what would happen. I would recommend 10/10 times. Keeping him on your side will keep your mind at ease.

V.A.Y.

If you have been falsely accused of something, Joe is the best person to go too. He is smart, honest, and hardworking. He spent his weekend to prepare for my court on a short notice case of false accusations against me. At the court he was well prepared and managed the entire hearing with respect and wisdom. I won the case. He saved my job, and my future.

A.K.

Great and professional attorney who gets the job done !

“You want Joe as your advocate!”

"To say Joe is an exceptional lawyer is an understatement. Joe will be by your side every step on the way. He is a caring attorney and is passionate about getting a fair outcome for his clients, i.e. you. His extensive expertise and diverse case load provides you with an attorney that knows the system and can provide you with realistic advice. I wouldn't trust my life or career in anyone else's hands. He offers creative approaches to best advocate for you. He is serious, taken serious, and well respected. You have a sense of calmness, even when faced with stressful situations, knowing Joe is in your corner. He works hard to make your representation the best it can be, and he doesn't miss any little detail. Hiring Joe is the best decision you will ever make. Listening to him will be the second."

Client
“Best lawyer I’ve ever had.”

"I feel extremely fortunate to have had Attorney Serpa represent me. He has a lot of experience and a strong knowledge of law and how our justice system operates. As mentioned in many other reviews, he was always available to patiently answer questions."

Client
"I have a chance at a brighter future!"

"Thank you, Joe, for helping me with my Clerk Magistrate's Hearing. Because of your expertise, I have a chance at a brighter future. With great gratitude."

Client
“Great, attentive attorney!”

"Mr. Serpa represented my son in a criminal case involving a fight in a bar. Things were pretty concerning because there were significant injuries to the other kid in the fight. Mr. Serpa (miraculously) worked out a resolution with the DAs Office that kept my son in college and saved him from a criminal record. I understand now what all the other reviewers said about Mr. Serpa being accessible and concerned about his clients. I don't think I ever waited overnight for a call back, and usually got him on the phone or by email immediately to answer all my questions. I really recommend this lawyer without hesitation."

Client
"Excellent lawyer!"

"Mr. Serpa helped me out of a hard time. He prepared me for the proceeding, he took time to answer all of my questions and was very reassuring. He made me feel like he had a handle of what was going on.. I'm very grateful, he did a wonderful job."

Client
"Would recommend Mr. Serpa to anyone who needs a lawyer!"

Client
“Wonderful Experience!”

"My experience with Attorney Serpa was wonderful! He represented me in two different cases and was impressive to say the least. Always a phone call or text message away.

Client
"Really Ahead of the Game!"

"Joe was really ahead of the game with my case. He predicted three possible outcomes for it and worked to achieve the best of the three possible outcomes. Joe worked tirelessly to understand me as a person and hold up that image in the court room and when speaking to members of the court. He was ambitious and fought hard to get me cleared. He reached the best possible outcome for my case and I was let free of charges because of his hard work and focus on the case. We persevered and made it to the end of the case with no issues and I couldn't be more relieved with the results. I'm so grateful for the work he did following hiring him."

Client
“Represented me at trial falsely alleging rape.”

"My ex’s sister falsely accused me of horrific crimes over several years. I literally watched my life fall apart from one day to the next when I was arrested and charged. Joe Serpa took over my case and instantly put me at ease. Within days I was out of jail on a lower bail. I returned to work and waited the two years for my trial to begin. Mr. Serpa was an active lawyer from day one. His investigation found witnesses to dispute that my accuser we in the places she alleged that I had assaulted her. At trial, he was professional and steady as he dismantled her credibility as well as that of her friends. I was found not guilty. Rape cases are horrifying and without a talented lawyer a false accusation can destroy a person. I owe Mr. Serpa my life."

Client
“College Sexual Misconduct Accusation.”

"I worked with attorney Joe Serpa for a period of over two months. His work on my case was twofold: he helped me settle a harassment prevention order that was brought against me on a false accusation in the Dedham district court and he assisted me with communicating with a college that was accusing me of sexual misconduct. Joe is a very hard working, diligent and trustworthy professional. He made all complex legal aspects very clear and easy for me to understand before and during the court hearing. Joe also provided the best advice when communicating with my accusing party . He is well versed and up to date about the current legal and political climate of college sexual misconduct policies. Joe not on only got me through a though legal situation, but undoubtably also provided firm moral support through this difficult time period . Joe is a tremendous asset and I would recommend his legal services to anyone in need of a professional lawyer."

Client
“I would highly recommend Joe Serpa to friends and family.”

Joe cares about his clients and makes himself available for consultation during and outside of normal business hours. I would highly recommend Joe Serpa to friends and family."

Client
“Judge Threw Out the Evidence”

"Mr. Serpa represented my loved-one in a repeat-offense drunk driving case. The evidence was strong and there was mandatory sentence that would have been devastating to my family. Mr. Serpa argued a motion to suppress hearing for us, and the judge threw out some very important pieces of evidence. The case was weakened so much that the DA’s Office and the judge allowed a reduction of the charges to a first offense, which would have been impossible otherwise. Mr. Serpa has great legal skills and knows the law, and will get you your best result."

Client
“Would Highly Recommend!”

"Mr. Serpa was patient, understanding, knowledgeable and he kept me well informed. He provided his input and opinion on handling my case and still managed to uphold my desires throughout my case. I would highly recommend him."

Client
“Helped a lot!”

"Joe was a great lawyer. He was quick to get to work on the case and always kept me informed in everything that was happening even if that meant he hadn't heard anything and we were still waiting. He was very forthright with what to expect and got me the best possible deal that I could've asked for. Would definitely recommend him to anyone."

Client
“Not guilty.”

"Mr. Serpa took over my case from my original lawyer. He had my bail reduced and me out of jail within a week. My case was eventually dismissed after a hearing in which a judge threw out the evidence against me. Mr. Serpa knew the law and knew how to use it to get me out of trouble."

Client
“Attorney Serpa saved my life and my sanity.”

"I was falsely accused of a horrific crime. There were times I didn’t think I’d make it through. Attorney Serpa was a steady supporter and got me through to a not guilty. He never ignored my case, my constant emails or my calls. I will never forget what he did for me."

Client
“Knows his way around a courtroom. A skilled litigator.”

"Joe handled a very serious armed robbery case in superior court like a pro. I was very happy dealing with him and the way he handled the case. Only a few lawyers could perform the way he did in this type of case. Good job Joe. Will use you no matter what the situation in the future."

Client
“Handled my son’s university drug case. Case dismissed.”

"Joe represented my son in an accusation by his college that he was selling drugs from his suite. The university suspended him and he was charged with Distribution of a Class A Substance. Neither the college nor the police seemed to care that my son was one of four kids living in the on campus suite, and it was a relief to speak to Joe and hear him say what we had been saying all along. You can’t accuse and convict based on guilt by association. Joe wrote and argued a fantastic dismissal motion and the judge dismissed the case. My son returned to school and his criminal record was restored. I was impressed by Joe’s skill in court but more so by how much attention he paid to my son and us, his parents. Great, hard working lawyer."

Client
“Joe is what we should all look for in an attorney.”

"I am not terribly comfortable in describing what I went through on a website, but I will say that Joe Serpa got me out of a serious mess and saved my career and my family. He is an incredibly smart lawyer who is deft in front of judges and with opposing counsel. He was able to find errors in the police work in my case to the extent that the prosecutor agreed (after over a year of fighting and motions) to dismiss my case. Joe always was there to answer questions and he made me believe he cared about me, my future and my family… because he did. I believe lawyers should be kind, smart and tough. That is what you get with this attorney."

Client
“Excellent attorney.”

"Joe represented me in court and my case was dismissed thanks to his hard work and obvious expertise. He was always available to answer my questions or hear out my concerns. I don’t think you can do better."

Client
"Best legal experience one could hope for."

"This was by far the best legal experience one could hope for! Attorney Serpa was diligent in responding to my needs. When you ask him a question his responses and thoughts are expressed in a very clear and concise manner. He prevented a life changing event from negatively impacting my life. If you have any criminal issues, problems or charges or anything, you really should call Joe Serpa. He is one of the few attorneys’ that I know who will give you their cell phone number and take calls and text at any hour day or night. Thank you Joe!"

Client
“Handled my drunk driving case.”

"I was found not guilty of drinking and driving. The jury was out for less than a 1/2 hour. Joe’s cross examination of the officer who arrested me left the DA’s Office”s case in pieces. Highest recommendation."
