Success

Joel Duboff.. what can I say about this man? Great attorney, funny, determined, confident and not intimidated. He has a great office team and when you get there, they’ll treat you just like a family member. You worry about payment when you think about bringing him a case? Don’t! As long as you are ab...le to stick to your promise, he got you with a payment plan. I was charged with assault-second degree on 3 counts and my case was dropped yesterday because he knew how to handle it and how to talk to the judge. Thus, I walked out clean with zero charges! Throughout the preparation of my trial, Mr. Duboff and I along with his office team worked together. He would listen to me every time we spoke and he’s always ready to answer my phone calls. Just provide him with all necessary tools he’d ask and you’ll see the result just like me. Mr. Duboff, thank you!

Joel DuBoff - The Best Lawyer By Far

I retained Mr. DuBoff to represent me in an on going criminal case which was driven by my Divorce. As we continue to work our way through the case, Mr. DuBoff has been genius in his approach. He is the best when it comes to communication and support. Together, we are going to make great things hap...pen for me.

The best lawyer in the business!!!

Mr. Duboff was very involved with my case from the beginning and more concerned about my recovery after my accident. He and the staff make you feel like family. He handled every detail and was able to settle my case with the maximum amount of dollars that he could obtain for me. He is very fair perso...nal professional and handled my case expeditiously. I was well informed daily. Mr Duboff is my only recommendation if you need an attorney. Thank you Mr Duboff for everything!
