Outstanding Attorney with Exceptional Dedication and Professionalism

We wanted to express our deep gratitude for Attorney Markey's help in getting the wrongful accusations against us dismissed. Attorney Markey responded to our call on a Holiday time without any hesitation. He explained what would happen and guided us through the process of dealing with such incidents..., which reassured us and boosted our confidence. We feel fortunate to work with an attorney who listens to his clients and fights for righteousness with such logic and professionalism. Joe meticulously prepared everything, covering all aspects and spending hours helping us collect facts and evidence for the hearing. His high standards and dedication were evident throughout. I wish I could give him 10 stars for his exceptional support and advice.

Top Notch Attorney

As a fellow attorney and a elected Massachusetts Governor’s Councilor in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts I highly recommend attorney Joe Markey. I constantly consult and refer cases to him in multiple practice areas. Although he is a young attorney he has the legal skills and creativity of someon...e who has been practicing for years!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
