Stop search fir an attorney and hire this great fighter. Mr Joseph is a very passionate, great fighter for justice, nice, angel in a human form. I have never seen his type since I was born. Mr Joseph worked so tirelessly and got a felony charge dismissed. . He is not after my money he was in for my freedom and justice. I never meant him in person but he worked until justice is served. After all these months of sleepless nights I can comfortably sleep. Mr Joseph you are a God sent. Thank you. I can't thank you enough. You're indeed a great man with a very golden heart. May God continue to bless you with good health and protection. Grateful client

Joe is an amazing attorney. His level of experience and expertise are outstanding. He was able to work with me on a very difficult issue, of which he provided the most excellent level of representation. He was able to provide me with calm, patient, and incredibly educated guidance. His response time is very prompt and timely which is such a great attribute. His work ethic is above any that I have seen or worked with in my career. He goes above and beyond for his clients to represent them in the best possible manner available. Joe has a wonderful client demeanor but be assured when representing you and defending you, he brings THE BIG GUNS to the battle. I recommend Joe to anyone that needs a wonderful, educated, intelligent, calm, and patient attorney.

Attorney Joseph Hougnon handled our case with the expertise of an attorney who knows the system. He is a professional who understands the laws, knows the steps necessary to complete the process and will lead you through the judicial maze providing compassion that provides you with the comfort of knowing you have someone on your side. He was able to get the false charges in our case dismissed without a trial or us even having to set foot in a courtroom. Highly recommended if you want someone who will fight for what is right and gets the job done.

I called Joe with some advice about an attorney mishandling a retainer I paid for an arrest that occurred in 2018. Joe immediately recognized the misdeeds the attorney was responsible for and shared my sentiment about said attorney's misconduct. Without hesitation, Joe offered his advice and offered to review the documents necessary to file a complaint against the attorney with the CA state Bar association. The fact that Joe bore witness to my vulnerability and offered to assist me in the process to get my retainer back by reviewing documents and offering his time for free to a non-client, goes to show what kind of attorney Joe would be for people who are paying clients. It is obvious that Joe has integrity and would go above and beyond for his clients ensuring that they are represented to the best of his ability and knowledge. Thanks Joe!

Mr. Joseph P. Hougnon has been a pleasure to work with. He has been very precise, prudent, and attentive to all aspects of my case. He took full control of all aspects of preparing and arguing my case and made it a seamless process for me. In return i was able to focus on my work which I found extremely valuable. As far as a criminal defense attorney in Sacramento county goes Joseph P. Hougnon is the best! My case was a 17b felony reduction and also expungement, for the purpose of helping me obtain professional licensing in my painting career to further advance myself in my profession. Not only did he successfully prepare my VERY complex case, all motions were granted and he is now assisting me in my application for licensure process! He has truly been a blessing in my life and I'm very thankful to have met and worked with such honorable and integral lawyer. I intend to mimic his professionalism and work ethic in my own future business!
