Excellent attorney!

Joyce helped me in a very difficult family law case. She is an exceptional attorney that knows the law. Joyce handled an appeal for me and not only won but it made case law! Joyce is not just a kind - hearted person that has compassion for her clients, she is a fighter in the courtroom. The opposing ...party put up a difficult fight but Joyce had to "think quick" and prevailed. She is a fighter for her clients and was a pleasure to work with. A brilliant attorney!

Kosak Has Been Our Lawyer for YEARS, For A Good Reason

Joyce has handled many cases for us, on several different fronts, and has never lost a battle. In fact, she was responsible for the success of a case we were involved in to such a degree that lawyers senior to her took her advice. We've recommended her to several people since we started working wit...h her years ago, and never have we heard a bad word about her. We'd recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat. She is no shark of a litigator, she's a huge-hearted human with a hell of a head on her shoulders. And she's tough in court. I'd never want to go against her!

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.
