Josef Hirschman Review

Joe went above and beyond to help us with our case and I am grateful to have worked with him on our situation He was upfront with us front the beginning and was in contact with us constantly. I am extremely excited to have the right to officially call my stepdaughter my daughter now and wouldn't ha...ve been able to it without Joe. He worked extremely hard with us in achieving me and my wife goal with the adoption. He will definitely be our lawyer in the future for anything we need.

Best Experience

Joe was so personable and straight forward. I was turned down by so many other lawyers who told me my legal desires were impossible. Joe analyzed my case thoroughly and told me the facts. I always knew what to expect and with his help my husband was able to adopt my oldest child and complete our fami...ly. I tell everyone in similar situations my experience with him!

Avvo Rating

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.
