Outstanding!

Joel Salinger is not just an amazing lawyer but also an amazing person. His ability to jump in and make great observations and quick decisions was just what was needed. Very appreciative of his professionalism and expertise. I would give him 10 stars if i could.

Client

Joel was straightforward with me from the start. I felt good working with him he explained everything in detail and the end result was a dismissal.

Won full custody because I listened to Joel Salinger

I was granted full custody of my teenage son after a short & very direct legal battle. This was all because I listened to Joels advice. He was blunt, direct, and exactly what you need / want in an attorney. I highly recommend using him for your legal services. He was able to explain everything in a s...traightforward, no frills type of way. He fought hard, showed his legal accumen & didn't leave the meter running. For great counsel -with a fair price point- I'd say you're on the right track if you listen to Joel Salinger.

Highly Recommend!

Joel Salinger is probably one of the most honest, realistic lawyers I've ever worked with. He brought his extensive expertise to my case, giving me sound advice. I really appreciate his direct, empathetic approach. The outcome of my case was fair to both parties and I couldn't have been more pleased ...with his representation. He is worth every penny (and more). I highly recommend Joel's legal services.

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.
