Posted by jennie | March 25, 2014 | Insurance

answered numerous questions on this site, called me back many times. down to earth and helpful.

I have yet to meet him in person until later this week but just knowing over the phone he was the lawyer for me. I asked several questions on avvo and he responded to me many times. i was stuck as a pedestrian by a truck and do not have car insurance or drive and suffered some damages that could resu...lt to surgery. He walked me through the traffic/criminal case I have tomorrow. He gave me more info in the amount of time i spoke with him in comparison to the lawyer i was referred to 2 weeks ago who only cared about my lifestyle and degrees. He was up front and honest, and most of all wanted to see me in person and very concerned about my injuries unlike some of the other lawyers. Just by the questions answered over interview on the phone i feel very comfortable with him. He knows the NJ laws and offered to set me up with pliga which i knew nothing about until i was being denied at drs and labs. Now I am confined to be bed due to the amount of pain i am in after seeking treatment outside the area who proved i was injured due to accident. looking forward to sitting down and talking about my case who he seems to be interested in. After speaking with and dealing with numerous lawyers who are all about money and jumping on my case popjoy seems to be knowledge and sympathetic unlike the one i was dealing with for 2 weeks who made my situation much worse., popjoy was more concerned about my health. Glad he found me answering each question i posted. Cant wait to see him in person and provided the evidence and hear where this takes me. Much calmer after him telling me what to do during court tomorrow, especially after my defense lawyer bailed, which is ok as well..

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.
