About Joseph
Biography
My practice focuses on litigation in the areas of family law, criminal defense and probate contests. I have over 25 years experience in counseling individuals in very personal, difficult disputes. In matters of divorce, child custody, child support and probate, we will try to avoid destructive arguments in court whenever possible, through negotiation toward compromise. However, when the intervention of the court is needed, my significant courtroom experience and aggressive advocacy benefits my clients.
Experienced representation for real people with real problems.
