Proficient Lawyer - Criminal Defense - Legal Hero

I was referred to Joe thru a mutual friend when I was going thru a crisis in need of an unexpected criminal defense. If it was not for Joe, and his expertise/resources to help me so proficiently with background checks to support my case - the result in my case could have been much worse . I owe many ...thanks to this qualified personable man who took the time to navigate and represent me superbly. All criminal charges were dropped and I owe this terrific guy many thanks. I would refer any locals finding them selves in need for legal matters to Joe 100%.

Home Buyer’s Hero!

Joe guided my wife and I through the complex process of purchasing our home and his expertise made all the difference. Joe went to bat for us time and again and was a calming presence in a stressful situation. We will be using Joe in all of our future endeavors.

First time home buyers

My husband & I used Joe when we were purchasing our first home this past summer. Joe was in constant communication with us, making sure all of our questions & concerns were heard and answered. Though the process of buying a house can be overwhelming, our experience with Joe made all the difference. H...e made the process as simple as possible, helping us every step of the way.
