Lawyer Review

James is a professional, who cares about his clients. Throughout my case, James was persistent and precise with each situation that came our way. However, he was always conscience of what was most important to me. I never had a question that was unanswered with detailed information. He was very clea...r of what the expectations were for my case and he was relentless in navigating my case in the directions that would be satisfactory to me. He established realistic goals for our outcome, however he never lost sight of what was important to me. He handled every situation with compassion and was sensitive to even to the most delicate issues. He took the stress and worry out of my hands and handled everything with a level of confidence and competence that was very much reassuring. I could not have been more satisfied and pleased. I am truly grateful to have known James and to have had him work so hard on my case.

Help in a difficult time

James helped me during my divorce after two other attorneys led me astray. he guided me with patience and sensibility that I didn't possess because of the highly emotional process I was going through. James always had my wellbeing (emotional and financial) at the forefront of his practice. I suspe...ct being a good person makes him an even better lawyer.

Unconditional Recommendation

James and his team are extraordinary advocates, counselors and advisors. Going through a divorce is obviously a highly emotional and charged process and while I felt (and knew) I was receiving exceptional legal counsel and representation, I also felt it came with genuine care and compassion. James he...lped me deftly navigate the hardest period of my life. I would recommend James and his firm without hesitation.

Amazing advocate

James Joseph is an incredibly clear advocate and gave specific fair and excellent recommendations. He was an excellent negotiator and was able to prevent a potentially drawn out, contentious agreement into a prompt, fair and reasonable agreement that saved both of us thousands of dollars. I would hig...hly recommend his firm.

Family lawyer | May 26

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. James is a top notch lawyer that I met through the New York Association of Collaborative Lawyers. I have been very impressed with his knowledge, ethics and dedication to matrimonial and family law alternative dispute resolution. I recommended James's firm in a litigated matter to the wife of one of my client's on a Family Offense or Order of Protection case in Family Court. I was conflicted from representing both my client and his wife at the same time that were both defending themselves against allegations from my client's ex-wife. He assigned a top notch lawyer from his firm to handle the case and we worked together to achieve victory. I endorse this lawyer and his firm wholeheartedly."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"James has an unsurpassed and well-deserved reputation for diligent advocacy on behalf of his clients with integrity and civility. He is a leader in the matrimonial bar whose efforts to improve his firm and the profession are unending. When working with a client, he remains focused on efficiently and reasonably reaching the goal. While a zealous litigator with the highest skills, James is at the forefront of the practice of Collaborative Law, a forum that gives his clients the opportunity to transition through divorce with unique solutions while minimizing trauma for them and and their families."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"James and I have been opposing counsel on many matters over the years. I have always found him to be a true professional. James is experienced and knowledgeable. Not only is James an excellent lawyer, he is a gentleman, yet a strong advocate for his clients. Although James tries to take a realistic and pragmatic approach with an eye toward settlement, he nonetheless is always willing to vigorously litigate on behalf of a client when necessary. I endorse this lawyer without reservation."

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.
