Highly recommend

I recently had the pleasure of working with Joe on an appeal. I found he is extremely smart, thorough, and a wonderful writer. I highly recommend him.

Outstanding counsel

Joe has been de facto General Counsel of my startup for two years. His support has been invaluable. He has expertly negotiated some extremely difficult contracts, helped to extricate me from bad business arrangements, handled my trademark issues, and saved me countless times from litigation. I've ne...ver thrown a question at him that he could not answer. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

A Legal Champion!

This review represents a first for me---a public endorsement of an attorney. I hired Joseph to handle my appeal in my employment discrimination case and subsequent legal matters that have stemmed from this connection. Like many of us whom find ourselves stuck, frustrated, and hopeless with navigating... the pitfalls of our treacherous legal system, I had used several attorneys prior to finding Joseph. Yet, only Joseph made feel seen and heard and that was I was saying mattered. I can assure you his knowledge of law is exhaustive; his writing is expert! Yet, in addition to keen intelligence, integrity and a rare authenticity, he exhibits something that has nothing to do with law and something I do not see in other attorneys. That something is leadership, which coupled with his Ivy League brilliance equals wisdom. I was drowning in despair at the injustices I was facing with my employer and in Court, and am VERY fortunate to have found Joseph to be the number one champion on my team.

Mr. Pace is an excellent attorney

Mr. Pace represented me in a housing discrimination and retaliation case. I cannot recommend him highly enough. I would be truly scared to be a litigant on the other side of him.

Client

I retained Mr. Pace to handle my appeal of an order dismissing my wrongful termination claim. He was extremely attentive, has an encyclopedic knowledge of this area of law, and handled my case expertly!

Appeals lawyer | Dec 06

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have had the pleasure of working with Joseph on two appellate matters. In both cases his contribution proved invaluable. Not just because he offers insights into the federal appellate process that only a former appellate clerk can provide, but also because his legal writing is a model of logic, clarity, and precision. It is authoritative and therefore persuasive in the best sense possible. I highly recommend Joseph for appellate and trial support services."
