Outstanding

Mr. Joyce is sure footed, confident and has earned an undeniable respect within the courtroom. His comprehensive knowledge of the law coupled with an intuitive understanding of courtroom dynamics were invaluable as he helped me to slog through the trenches of a very difficult and high conflict custod...y battle. I was impressed also with his ability to grasp and remember some of the nuanced aspects of my case even as it dragged on and how those details were ultimately used to articulate my position so thoroughly. He is sharp and misses nothing. I felt safe and confident with Mr. Joyce's representation. I highly recommend his services.

Don't Waste your time

Don't waste your time or money. This guy is arrogant and likes to take short cuts. If the judge scolds him for not being prepared, he will throw you under the bus. He does not communicate anything and if you ask him questions he is short and says he doesn't know or remember.

This individual received more than seventy (70) hours of pro bono representation - but was dishonest with our office and ultimately caught perjuring herself during trial. We can’t help those who are dishonest with us and disregard our advice.

Words cannot adequately describe how wonderful a job Mr. Joyce did in representing me.

Kevin Joyce is an amazing attorney. He made me feel very at ease and reduced my anxiety exponentially throughout my custody hearing. It was an extremely stressful situation, understandably, but he was very competent at all times. The main thing he stressed was that it was important to be honest at al...l times throughout the hearing, and this worked so well. He was very intuitive about the personalities of the opposing parties, as well as the predicted outcome of my case. Kevin Joyce went above and beyond for me and my son during the hearing. When problems arose, he handled them so efficiently while still keeping me calm. I could never express how happy I have been with how things went and with how great Mr. Joyce was.

Custody Case

Kevin & Christine are knowledgable, hard working, attorneys who gave their best in a difficult case. They were available and accessible, answering my many questions with patience and compassion. I would hire them again!!

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.
