Creative and Aggressive
I referred a challenging matter to Michael. He soon developed a strategy that resulted in a substantial judgment against the defendant. Michael was communicative and collaborative throughout the process.

Terrific lawyer
Michael Joseph took my case, which involved very unusual circumstances, but after hard fought negotiations, he was able to achieve a favorable outcome for me. I was very satisfied with Michael and would highly recommend him.
