Why Hire Joe
I had a really bad situation where my ex wife filed an injunction against me on behalf of my kids and I only had less than a week to presented myself on court, the worst part was that I leave in Orange County and my case was in Polk county. All of the lawyers that I contacted ether didn't want to go that far or want to charge me double amount of money, so my divorce case lawyer recommend Joe Knape and I didn't think it twice. From the first moment he was very helpful and took his time to explained the case to me, and he not only went to Polk county for my case, he also charge me less than half of what the other lawyers were charging me. Mr Joe fought for my case and we won the case, thanks to him I have my kids back and they enjoying vacation with me.
I would strongly recommend Joe Knape for your case in Florida. Responsible and diligent. He handles most counties and situations. Never thought I would have had my case resolved with such ease and professionalism, no stress at all thanks to his work. Today a new chapter of my life starts and I have to thank Joe for helping me resolve it. Call Joe, then Look around and compare prices also, what a big difference ! He works for your case and you, plus the price is right. I looked around and was almost depressed to hear how lawyers treat their clients like "walking money" hidden fees everywhere, not "human factor" Not Joe, he is friendly and knows his business. Thankful I was recommended to call him ... You will not be disappointed ! This guy is a professional, and I will let him handle anything legal me and my family may need from now on. Thanks Joe.
I have worked with many lawyers over the years having been in law enforcement as a profession. I have also had to use attorneys for myself and friends. Joe was referred to me from another attorney who said that the relief we needed by the court and state attorneys office would be like winning the lotto and would be to time consuming for him, four other attorneys others said the same. Joe took the task and went to bat for us as he saw we had been wronged by the system and believed in us. He returned every call if not answered , ever email and worked endlessly on our case until we won. My partner and I Carlos can never thank him enough for his work and dedication. I believe Joe went to law school to help clients , something have not seen before in attorneys. We highly recommend him.
Prior to calling Joe, we called six attorneys and were turned down by them as it’s “too complicated”. The last to turn us down, said it’s just too time consuming for him and not easy, but wow he felt we had been burned by the system and wished us luck, I asked this attorney if he could refer someone to help us as I broke into tears. He said ,”CALL JOE, HE IS THE BEST”.. wow was he right! Joe went to work like a bull dog on the case because he cared. I think he is the type of attorney one would think they all start out like wanting to help and then as time goes were just another number, but not with Joe he is there to help and cares about the case and how important it is to us. Joe has compassion, always returned all calls, kept us informed and worked like I never saw before, he also offers fair prices. We have a complicated case and I think he might be the only attorney around that was willing to help. We plan on placing an ad in the paper of the thanks we owe Joe.
First of all, if you have been arrested for DUI you only have 10 days to request an administrative review of the suspension through the DHSMV. As a result of this, many people miss out on protecting their driving privileges right from the start!


If you refused the breath test following the arrest your driving privileges are suspended for 1 year.
If you took the breath test and your Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) was greater than .08 your driving privileges are suspended for 6 months
Hiring an experienced Orlando DUI attorney immediately after arrest is the most prudent way to protect your rights. Pre-Trial Motions to Dismiss the case or Suppress Evidence obtained against you must be timely filed with the Court. Delays in obtaining documentation and reports are common.
