Joe was incredible since day 1. I was in the unfortunate position of receiving an extremely severe charge based on little findings by the detective assigned which really put me in a bad position. From the very beginning Mr. Surman was on top of his game. Due to his persistence and expertise my charges were downgraded and eventually dismissed as Not Guilty. He also got my record expunged of the charges which gave me the ability to return to my job in the financial industry. Because of Joe I was able to get my life back to normal and there isn't anyone out there that could've gotten a better result for me. On top of the result he is an incredibly fair Lawyer. Joe will never over charge and his rates are more than fair especially for what you get. I would HIGHLY recommend him as he is a phenomenal Lawyer.
Joe Surman took my case after numerous court dates all year and I was possibly facing severe consequences. After meeting with Joe, I had felt confident having him take my case. After three short months he was able to get me only probation. Even after the fact, he has still reached out to make sure I'm doing well. Hopefully I would never need representation like that again, but if I did, Joe Surman would be the first person I called. I have the utmost respect for Joe as a person and as an attorney.
Joe is the most amazing lawyer I have ever dealt with, he is very passionate about his work and his clients. Anytime I have had a question legally or just in general he was always there to help. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a lawyer.
Joseph Surman helped me with some traffic tickets I received. He is professional and very knowledgeable. He explained everything to me and helped me understand my options. He explained what to expect. He worked hard and always had my best interest. I would highly recommend him.
I have known Joseph for several years from our mutual involvement in the New Jersey Bar Association. He is one of the hardest working and most dedicated attorneys that I know. He is a great choice if you need an attorney in the New Brunswick area for personal injury or criminal defense.
