Great Attorney

My experience with Mr. Stanley was amazing. He was professional, honest, he was swift with communication, he was very informative and always patient. I had lots of questions, he always made the time to answer via email or a phone call. He was very thorough in explaining the process and what to expect.... He fought for me, and left no rock unturned. He went over our options and I walked away from this incident, very pleased!

Best Lawyer

From our first meeting with Joe to discuss our situation, he was very informative, patient, and he gave us hope that we had a chance to resolve our legal matter. During the whole ordeal he kept in contact with us and informed us of what to expect as time went on. Joe was very clear on what our opti...ons were and laid everything out of how things could go as we worked through the court process. We were so pleased with how compassionate Joe was and how he was able to handle everything for us due to the stress of situation and being nervous of the whole process. We could not be any happier with our experience. Joe Stanley is absolutely amazing and we will definitely recommend him to anyone who is in need of a lawyer.

Professional lawyer who actually answers his phone

Joseph Stanley represented me after I was hit by a car while driving. I had not done anything correctly or called the police, an ambulance, he really had to go out of his way to settle my case. Despite how aggravating it must have been he was always very respectful and polite. He answered every email... and returned every call in a reasonable time until I had my compensation and felt it was resolved. He gives lawyers a good name by being a kind and patient person who really makes you feel like your case is just as important as any other one he may be handling. I recommend him highly to anyone seeking legal help.

Dedicated and Dependable

I was involved in a car accident April of 2017, my car was totaled in the accident I was without my own transportation although I was not at fault, I was given a traffic violation which I had to show up to court for. After I had the accident I was afraid and unsure what to do. So it was my Mom who re...commended Schwartz and Schwartz Attorneys at law, I made an appointment Joseph Stanley was hired as my attorney and even though there was no settlement in my case (other driver unavailable) Joe was still available even when my case was closed I got a notice to appear in court Joe met me there and even gave me a ride back, (the court was 30-45 minutes away) he was very knowledgeable about my issue and was helpful in answering legal questions for other people waiting for court I was extremely glad I had him there and enjoyed watching others line up to ask him question after question he’s a awesome attorney and a great person.

Personal Injury Miracle Worker!

When I was injured on the job I wasn't sure how to proceed. I was missing work, my company wasn't being helpful, and I wasn't sure what to do! I was trying to take care of myself while trying to pay the bills that were steadily piling up. Once I hired Mr. Stanley he walked me through my options and e...xplained my rights in a way that was easily understandable. I am really glad I decided to reach out to him and extremely pleased with his services and the outcome of my situation. He is intelligent, made me feel comfortable, listened to me, and made sure I was well informed to make the best decisions possible. I would highly recommend him for any personal injury. His negotiation skills, advice, demeanor, and professional knowledge saved me a lot of money, time, and greatly diminished the stress I was under so I could focus more on healing. Best decision I could have made, would consult with him/hire him again in a heartbeat!
