Joe is an excellent trial attorney. He is extremely well respected by the judges in whose courts he appears. Very few attorneys have the respect of the Richmond County Bar Association that Joe has earned. He has received many awards from the Bar Association and is due to receive another in two weeks. You cannot go wrong choosing Joe as your attorney!
