Knowledgeable and easy to work with
I hired Joe to represent me in finalizing a pro se divorce case. From the initial consultation, to the filing of the final paperwork, I found it easy to arrange meetings, and always had quick answers to my questions. He took care of paperwork that I never would have known about, and kept the communication going so that I was fully aware of important dates in the timeline. If I needed representation again, I would definitely give him a call.
