The Law Office of Joe Metcalfe: Dedicated to Defending Your Future
Knowledge. Experience. Determination. A commitment to aggressively protect your rights and your future. If you have been charged with a DUII, Measure 11 offense, or other serious crime, you need an attorney with these qualities to effectively defend against the charges you are facing.
I've worked for the country's premier public defense agency, successfully defending those accused of the most serious criminal offenses. I've also prosecuted individuals accused of complex white collar crimes. And I've trained hundreds of attorneys and law students how to do both.

My Approach
My philosophy of criminal defense representation is based on nearly 20 years of experience and a proven record of success.
-
Every case is unique: All criminal cases are different. The facts. The legal issues. The client. My approach is to examine the specifics of the allegations you are facing, learn about your background and goals, and then tailor a defense strategy that best meets your needs.
-
A comprehensive defense strategy for all stages of your case: When someone is first charged with a crime, it is nearly impossible to predict how a case will ultimately be resolved. Trial or plea bargain? Suppression hearing or appellate argument? From pretrial investigation through the criminal appellate process, my background gives me the tools necessary to effectively represent you, regardless of the direction your case takes.
-
Facts are critical: Whether you choose to go to trial or enter a plea, only after understanding the strength of the state's case against you can you make an informed decision. I thoroughly investigate the facts so that you understand your options and can make the choices that are best for you.
-
Aggressively mount legal challenges: Whether you are guilty or innocent may have very little to do with a favorable resolution to your case. I have learned from experience that what frequently matters more is mounting legal challenges to the state's case. As a law professor teaching criminal law and constitutional criminal procedure, I have the experience and knowledge to effectively protect your rights.
