Joe "The Man" Dell

I hired Joe a few years back to help in my personal injury case. I researched many firms and kept coming back to Joe. I did not think it was possible to have so many positive reviews but now I know why .It's like Telly Savalas and Yul Brenner had a kid and made him as badass as they were and gave him... a law degree. If that was not enough he brought with him a Belarusian beauty named Olga. Her old world common sense combined with a keen understanding of the law made this dynamic duo impossible to beat. Most attorneys prefer to settle their cases as opposed to setting foot in court but in my case this was not so. I was facing not one but three attorneys all arrogant and all thinking they were up to the task .They could of brought twenty and it would not have mattered. Joe sent them packing one by one .All , left the courtroom looking like someone stepped on their Easter bunny and kicked their collective puppies . In the end EVERY attorney there ceded to Joes demands and my family is going to bet set. I have a feeling that if these attorneys come up against Dell and Dean again they will not want to do that in public . All I can say is Joe your the man thanks for everything .Ken H

Ken, on behalf of myself and Olga I want to thank you for your wonderful and kind review. But more than that we battled together on trial for a month, and you were the perfect plaintiff and a tremendous witness. It was an honor and a privilege to represent you. Although the case settled after the liability phase and during damages, we will always remain friends, always! Much love - JGD.

Great lawyers in the area

I met Joe through a co-worker that was injured on the job. From my first introduction to Joe he made me feel very comfortable and I left his office that first day knowing that I was in very good hands. I have since had a surgery performed and Joe has always been there for me anytime that I have calle...d. If not he has responded in a very short time. Having never gone through this I have been nervous at times and he has always explained everything that is happening at each particular point in detail and made me feel at ease. I would recommend Joe to anyone

Of all the things he does well the thing he might do best is advocate as trial counsel for his injured clients. He views his role as invaluable, and also as an honor.

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. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
