Amazing attorney! Couldn't recommend enought.

Joel Sunshine is an incredibly intelligent, hardworking, ethical, honest attorney. He is also a rare find in lawyers these days because he actually cares about his client and fought for me with passion and heart. He is an awesome litigator who is articulate, can think on his feet, prepares ti...relessly and knows how to argue a case. He makes a great team with his wife Stacey, who does a lot of the paperwork while he acts like Perry Mason in court! I cannot thank Joel enough and am so appreciative that I found him. I went back to family court after my ex-husband refused to pay for college, unreembursed medical expenses and then child support after he opened his own financial services company so Suffolk County Child Support Enforcement Bureau couldn't garnish his wages anymore. My case was moved to Supreme Court and I became very frustrated with my first attorney and being tossed from Judge to Judge there. No one seemed to care that this deadbeat dad was not being held responsible for anything. I found Joel and he became my Knight in Shining Armor, fighting for justice in an awful system that seriously needs an overhaul. After almost six years of litigation because my ex counter sued me and tried to bankrupt me so that I would quit, Joel fought diligently during a ten day trial over the course of three months and was simply brilliant! Finally, justice was served. My ex was sentenced to jail to be stayed by finally paying the back child support, college expenses plus interest, unreembursed medical expenses and even $114,000 towards my lawyers fees!!! If you are looked for a team of fair, equitable, caring, honest, diligent, responsive, brilliant, personable attorneys then Joel and Stacey are for you. I cannot thank them enough and love them for what they were able to accomplish for me and my children!
