What makes me unique as a family lawyer is that I have directly represented children in court who often have come from divorced/separated parents where physical and/or emotional abuse is often present. This has given me insight into how to effectively advise my family law clients in navigating the court system in order to reach their goals and to minimize the emotional damage that often comes with litigation. I have been recognized throughout the state for my passion in protecting children and I offer these experiences to my clients beginning with a FREE consultation.

Best Lawyer in Berks County!
I have always been a little skeptical of lawyers so I made sure to do my research when my husband and I were looking for a lawyer to handle his new child custody case.

"Joe is an honest attorney and a zealous advocate for his clients. I have had several cases with Joe and commend his professionalism and his knowledge of the Courts. I would recommend Joe for any domestic and/or family law matter."
"I have worked with Joe on many issues and always find him to be professional. He cares about his clients and is very knowledgeable. Joe is a pleasure to work with."
"I've known Joe since I began practicing law in Berks County in 2005. I've worked alongside him defending Juveniles accused of delinquent acts and I've seen him advocate for his divorce and custody clients. I can say without hesitation that if you hire Joe you will have a highly skilled and passionate attorney on your side. Joe has a well-earned reputation in the community for zealous and ethical advocacy. I look forward to continuing to refer matters to him when our office has a conflict."
"Joe is a very zealous and passionate advocate. He has a broad knowledge of the domestic relations law and process and has a great rapport with not only other attorneys but also the judges. He also has a great rapport with minors. If I needed an attorney in a family matter, I would hire Joe."
"Joe's a great attorney. Always well prepared, knows his cases and, importantly, has a good relationship with all the judges and staff at the courthouse. I recommend Joe."
