also known as Joe Mathis
I primarily focus my practice in the areas of estate planning, estate and trust administration, and elder law. I believe that everyone should have a well-structured and carefully thought out plan for disability and death. As a result of this philosophy, I have built my practice by representing a wide range of clients, including parents with young children, parents with special needs children, business owners, retirees, elderly individuals, and others. I do not believe in a “one size fits all” approach to planning. I take time to learn my clients' needs and objectives and then develop a plan that is customized for their unique situations. If you would like an experienced attorney to represent you in one of these areas of law, or even if you think you may have some other legal need, I welcome your call and am happy to discuss your specific situation with you.

A kind and Considerate Attorney
I met Joseph Mathis during a very difficult time in my life. I needed an attorney to review my will, my advance directive and my long term care policy. Joe did all of this in a timely manner (and time was of the essence), with kindness and professionalism, both qualities needed at the time. Joe h...

Highly recommend
Joe has been extremely helpful to my wife and I in crafting estate plans including strategies for wills and trusts for our daughters. When my elderly parents became ill, Joe helped us again with POA’s and plans that would help us address a very negative situation. We brought my elderly parents (wal...
