This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent Attorney

Joseph is an excellent Attorney. He is professional, but the more important aspect of his services is that he shows you care. He brings the client confident and inspired trust because he looks after you and always has your back to guide you to make the right choices and decisions. I have used his ser...vices two times. I recommend him.

Excellent attorney

Joseph not only dedicated countless hours during my divorce, he also listened and was always patient and kind. He always responded to my emails and calls in a timely fashion, and never left me "hanging". He made me feel like I was his only client and I never felt brushed off. He is very knowledge...able and I always felt confident he would represent me to the best of his abilities.

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.
