Jo was able to get my misdemeanor dismissed after a short period of time. She was responsive to emails and did not oversell what she was able to do for me. Jo also helped guide me through the arrest and arraignment process. I would definitely recommend Jo!

Jo helped me through my DWI case which has been one of the toughest times i’ve dealt with. She’s very knowledgeable in what she does, represents her client with professionalism and integrity. She was always there when i had a question, she made sure to keep me updated in a timely manner with all changes regarding my case, and was quick to counteract unpredicted changes in my situation with amazing solutions/outcomes. Hopefully i will not need a lawyer going forward, but if i do, she is who i’ll be calling. I would recommend her to anyone going through what i went through, she will make your case 100x smoother than what it would be without her, 11/10 would recommend. Thank you, Jo.

We hired Jo to intervene into my niece's CPS case where we had been the kinship foster parents for almost a year and half. CPS was not doing their job and there were a lot of information being left out. Jo stepped up in every way, spending countless hours getting to the bottom of all the information, and advocating for us and our sweet baby. We had the best possible outcome and that would not have been possible without Jo. I will forever be grateful for this amazing woman, she is truly the best.

She worked on my case and showed great dedication and integrity. This lawyer went above and beyond on my behalf and I will be forever grateful and thankful.

Jo combines her subject matter expertise with case specific knowledge to help keep her clients informed, put together a cause specific approach, and to find a just conclusion. I never questioned her advice or approach. Her ability to communicate helped me understand what she needed from me, provided a clear picture of what to expect, and gave me the confidence to deal with an extremely stressful situation. If you ever find yourself in need of an attorney that specializes in an area that Jo provides services for, Jo is an easy recommendation. You should absolutely consider contacting Jo, I trust her work, recommendations, and advice.

I am so pleased that I was referred to Ms. Poenitzsch. She was so easy to correspond with and was diligent in getting a solution for my situation. Will definitely call her in the future if other legal problems develop.

I want to let everyone know that Jo is very very different than any attorney out there. We interviewed several and she is in a class all by herself. She met with us outside business hours for starters. She is professional and knows her stuff. She is a mean negotiator and knows the system inside and out. She runs circles around her competition. She is responsive and driven for her clients. My nephew had a court appointed attorney who basically said there was no way he would stay out of prison based on his prior offences even though he he had been drug free with a great job and housing for 6 months. She fought for this young man until they listened. He is currently sober for over a year with a home of his own, multiple raises at his job and just adopted a dog! He is thriving in a world where he wasn’t suppose to based on his past. Our family will be forever grateful to Jo. If you want change and are ready she’s your girl!

She has done what all the other lawyers said couldn’t be done… I have several priors and prior pen trips against me and she got one of my felony’s dropped “the worse of the 2” ,and got me time served on the other one… Before hiring her they were offering me prison time over and over and in just a couple months she got me off without having to go back to jail.. she is amazing and I recommend anyone who feels like they’re not getting what they want in the court room to hire Jo because she’s going to get it done..

Jo helped me understand everything I needed for my case! It was the first time I had been arrested and had no idea what to do or how to do it. Jo was there to help me step by step for what I needed to do so everything would go as smoothly as possible. Today was my second and last court session and my case was dismissed thanks to everything Jo helped me with! I'd definitely recommend her to anyone interested in a lawyer who takes their job and their clients time seriously! Thank you for everything!

Jo is amazing. I had a court appointed attorney for over a year and was unable to contact him once, even though I consistently called, texted, and emailed him and I would call the Court Office as well. I found out that he was also pleading guilty on my behalf without consulting me. However, after talking with Jo, my charge was dropped after just a month, and it could have been sooner if I was more available. She replies within a day to all emails and was constantly working for a better arrangement even after getting a deal with the prosecutor. I would recommend Jo to anyone and I am incredibly thankful for all her work, she saved my life and my relationship with my family.

I was Falsely accused of hurting my kid and in a pinch I hit up jo and she rocked got right on the case and quickly and efficiently took care of me and my family. Thank you so much for everything you did for my family we are all greatful

Jo is the best. She solved my case in the best way and very quickly. I recommend her 100%
