September 2021, I was charged with a dui. I called Joe on labor day weekend and he answered while traveling. Joe was very up front with me about my case and informed me of all possible outcomes. Over the 5 or so months he was able to reduce my charge to a much better situation financially and reduce my suspension drastically from what the outcome could have been. I would recommend Joe to anyone looking for a lawyer who will make sure he does the most to better your situation no matter what it may be.

Joe is a caring and knowledgeable Attorney who was able to secure a favorable outcome for me. I was referred to Joe from a previous client who stated that "If anybody can help you, it will be Joe." He was not wrong. Joe helped me to navigate the process. Since I am a Massachusetts resident I had some major concerns about how the process would play out in New Hampshire but Joe kept me abreast of the situation and handled everything from end to end. From consultation until resolution Joe was present during the entire process. It was nice to know I could go about my day to day and had an attorney who could keep me up to date in key issues revolving my case. I would say that Joe was well prepared and shined during all court proceedings and hearings. I am forever indebted to Joe and his team for their work and diligence. Thank you again, Attorney Prieto!

Joe helped me get a reckless operation charge down to a simple speed charge. He was very thorough and helped me obtain the best possible outcome for my case. I highly recommend Joe to anyone looking for legal representation.

Attorney Prieto was recommended by a friend. I consulted with him over the phone on a Saturday morning after being arrested for DWI. His accessibility is great, he or his team have always taken my calls at any time. He has always been on top of my case as far as court hearings and documents needed. He was very easy to work with.

Joe and his team did an absolutely masterful job navigating me through a fairly complicated and drawn out case. Their thoroughness and attention to detail were truly amazing and they made the entire process so much better than it otherwise could have been. They engaged the best experts, exhausted every possible legal avenue, and always took the time to answer all of my questions. Joe made it incredibly easy for me to wholeheartedly trust him every step of the way, and we were ultimately rewarded with an outcome that was better than anything I ever could have imagined. If you are in need of legal assistance, reach out to Joe. You will not find a better attorney anywhere.

My wife and I experienced a big problem during our house hunting in NH. We had to back out of the first house on which we put an offer due to problems discovered by the house inspection. However, the owner refused to refund our $10,000 earnest money. Interestingly, the legal mechanism for this action is called an Interpleader and due to Covid, everything was backed up. Luckily, we had Joe Prieto as our attorney. Fifteen months later, our claim was validated by the court. What was impressive about attorney Prieto was his communication was clear and timely throughout the entire ordeal. Secondly, he was persistent and tenacious to ensure our challenge to get back our money was always in the Interpleader’s hands. Thirdly, his written arguments were so clear and backed up with facts that we knew the court ruling would turn out as it did. Fourthly, we were always presented our options for various scenarios that might occur, thus always feeling secure and prepared for whatever might happen. And finally, everyone at the Prieto law firm was always helpful and supportive. We would recommend attorney Prieto with no reservations to anyone needing legal consul.
