PFA

After being served with a PFA from my ex husband, I'm grateful that I connected with Joseph Jerrytone. I couldn't have asked for a more knowledgeable and caring attorney. Even though he was handling several other cases he ALWAYS made me feel as though I was his only case. He was VERY responsive to al...l my calls and emails. I had total confidence that he would win this case and he did. I highly recommend him!

Criminal defense lawyer | Jan 28

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I doubt there is anyone as young as Attorney Jerrytone with the legal resources he possesses. Further, he is one of the most fiercely zealous advocates for his clients in and out of the court room. Many attorneys put themselves out as "trial attorneys" or "tough." Most often, these are the same attorneys who will avoid confrontation and trials at all costs. Attorney Jerrytone is one of the few who has the confidence and fearless attitude individuals with a criminal matter need representing them. Why can I say this all with zero exaggeration? Because I've witnessed it first hand."

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.
