I hired Joe as my divorce attorney in September of 2020 and my divorce was finalized in September of 2021. Joe and his staff were very attentive to my needs and they made sure this very difficult process went as smooth as possible. He advocated for me to the fullest extent. If you’re looking for an attorney who takes the bull but it’s horns, Joe is the one for you!
