We hired Joe recently and I was a basket case before meeting him. This was my first incident with the law and I didn’t know what to expect or what to do first. After meeting Joe, it was almost like a weight lifted off my shoulders- he made me feel supported and sat with me to walk me through everything. He really put my mind at ease and I am grateful he was by my side. Joe is compassionate, knowledgeable about what to expect/the law, responsive, and passionate about fighting for you and your case (he got mine dismissed too!). Best of all, he truly cares for you and your well-being and will be there for you and your family every step of the way.
He is the kind of guy you want on your team! His tactics and extensive knowledge got me out of a corner and assured a full dismissal on a bunch of fabricated-non sense allegations. He knows how to navigate the system successfully and will not let it go until justice is rendered. Expectation + 1 = Success
Joe is a very professional top-notch attorney who did a terrific job representing us during a very complex case. He went above and beyond and was often calling and texting us late at night and on the weekends. He is well-respected by the courts and other attorneys.
We chose Mr. Colarusso based on my Stamford case and him being a local attorney. We made the right choice! Based on his experience and history in the local area, he knew the procedures and what to expect based on his extensive history in this location. His fee was more than reasonable considering the amount of court appearances over a lengthy year and a half (non trial) case. His knowledge and experience along with Covid complications resulted in a dismissal of my case of a 3rd DWI. I am eternally grateful and cannot recommend him enough.
In 2019 I was arrested for a DUI. I didn’t have much money at the time and because this was my first DUI I didn’t understand how serious it was. So, I decided to get a public defender. BIG MISTAKE. Once I hired Mr. Colarusso my luck changed. Mr. Colarusso is very well-respected at the Courthouse and this alone made me feel very confident. He was on time for every court date. In all, I only had to attend court 3 times after hiring Mr. Colarusso. The first time was to resolve the mess the public defender had gotten me into. The second time was to negotiate the final classes I needed to complete that were appropriate for my charges, and the third time was after a year was given to me to complete these classes. Most importantly he was able to have this DUI off my record! If you have been arrested for a DUI or have ANY criminal charges call him first! While Mr. Colarusso was more than affordable, you cannot put a price on your freedom. I am so grateful for finding him. -MD
Joe is an excellent lawyer who cares and goes the extra mile. Bright, organized and very well versed not to mention respected by the Court, Attorney Joe Colarusso will fight for you and win! Just because you are accused doesn’t mean you are guilty. Jim S.
I hired Mr. Colarusso's services when I made several poor mistakes resulting in the high possibility of severe legal penalties. Mr. Colarusso was extremely professional and handled my case with outstanding results. I will forever be grateful to him for his work. He is also very kind and supportive, and generally encourages his clients to succeed and move on with their lives in a positive direction. I recommend no other in criminal defense, and thank him for allowing me to lead a better and more positive life.
I came to Joseph in need of representation after an unfortunate accident. The result, and how quickly he got it done was absolutely unbelievable. I honestly didn’t dare to hope for the result he was able to achieve. This man works hard for his clients and is worth every penny.
Joseph did an incredible job. My case was handled in record time and the results were far beyond my wildest hopes. Worth every penny and a man worthy of trust.
Joe did an amazing job, and saved me from ruining my whole life with one dum decision, and worked it so I will have no record in the end. I can’t write the relief his outstanding job brought me. He went above and beyond, but more importantly treated me as an individual he wanted to help and not just a number... He was worth every penny. His legal expertise were easily recognized and truly helped my case. I feel it may have been the entire difference, as I never thought it would end this good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will be thanking him later in life, as without him, I wouldn’t of had a chance at one. thanks joe!!! You saved me!!!
