This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Great Desk-Side Manner, But Don't Let That Fool You in the Courtroom

Joe was very kind, accommodating and explained everything in simple terms so I understood each step of the process and what our strategy would be. He won me primary custody with his killer instinct in the courtroom...He doesn't stand for BS from opposing attorney and advocated for what was right. I w...ill be back for all my future legal needs.

A true class act

Very impressed with his work on my divorce. Always professional with me and a monster in the court room. Highly recommend!

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.
