Don't let his young face fool you... Joe's performance in and out of the courtroom is beyond exemplary as well as honorable. From the first day I met Joe I have not stopped being impressed with his attention to details, his ability to provide realistic outcomes, his viable communication perspectives, and for his gift in helping facilitate measured results between other layers. Joe accepted my case after it had been batted around the courts for over a year and a half. According to the previous lawyers involved the current dispute I found myself in was one of the most extreme scenarios. Joe was able to help secure the custody and visitation needed to ensure my child's well being for the present time as well as future considerations. Without a doubt his work in this case helped define what was truly in my child's best interest. I am so thankful for Joe being apart of my life. For my child and for me. Thank you Joe!

I would recommend Joe to any one. He has been there with me for the last two years from visitation with my grandson, to divorce , to guardianship of my grandson. He is right on top of everything. He is very knowledgeable about the law. When I wasn't sure of the right thing to do, i've been able to call him and if Joe was busy, he always returned my call as soon as he was able to.He has always given me the right advise. I couldn't ask for a better attorney.
