I have been defending people accused of committing crimes in the New York State and Federal Courts for over 36 years. I wrote a book: What You Should Know if You're Accused of a Crime. I have taught and lectured extensively and been quoted and profiled in the media numerous times. I have handled many serious, complex and high profile trials. I was the first (and only) woman President of the Kings County Criminal Bar Association.

Had great results using Joyce. Retained her for two criminal cases after being abandoned during pre trial by my initial high profile Attorney (Gerald McMahon) who became angry when I would not accept two unfavorable dispositions. He claimed the offers would not get any better and was unwilling to f...ight for me any further. Thanks to Joyce and her willingness to continue fighting on my behalf both cases were Dismissed. Her fees were way more reasonable than the aforementioned attorney and she worked harder for less money and achieved better results.

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.

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.
