small town ethics, world class service

Joe has been my lawyer on several matters including a child support matter. In every case he was highly professional, exceptionally ethical and always puts his clients interests first. Joe is a"people's" lawyer, offering a wide variety of services from financial to family and criminal. I highly endo...rse.

Avvo Rating

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.
