This individual was one of the worst hires I have ever made. He behaved in an unprofessional, unpredictable, and reckless manner throughout the case. His decisions were impulsive, poorly thought out, and reflected a lack of experience and basic professionalism. His conduct gave the impression of some...one immature and unreliable, which seriously harmed the chances of success in my case. Rather than providing competent legal guidance, he relied on aggression, shouting, and false confidence, apparently believing that being louder and more confrontational would somehow impress the court. In reality, this approach only damaged my position and made matters worse. Judges and court systems are not fooled by this behavior, and his methods showed a complete misunderstanding of how the legal process actually works. In my own custody case, his behavior escalated to outright misconduct.

Joel was referred to me by another attorney with whom I had a consultation with but could not afford ($700 per hour). All throughout his representation of me I found him to be professional and VERY attentive. I would receive call backs the same day of each call (this was my second divorce and I can ...tell you that this is not the norm), he was fully prepared for court and his papers were always well drafted. Get him while his rates are what they are right now because I only see them going up based on his growing reputation for strong representation.
