Review Joseph Caballe

Very honest and self-less in helping me

Posted by anonymousTue Aug 30 2016

I contacted Jose when he worked for another firm a couple years ago. He understood the dire and time sensitive situation I was in. He was honest and up front with me that taking my case on such short notice, while he would do his best, he cannot commit as many resources as he would like given the short turn around time and the other cases on his plate. Having said that, he said he would take my case, but just wanted me to be aware that he might not be able to do the job 100% like he would normally do. But he also referred me to another disability lawyer in case I wanted someone who could dedicate more time to my case. Ultimately, I chose to go with the other lawyer he referred me to because I wanted a lawyer who could dedicate his full attention to my case. And I successfully won my disability appeal. So it is clear that Jose had no ego in referring me to another very good lawyer. I really appreciated Jose's honesty and up front nature. And the amount of time he spent helping me even though he got nothing out of it. If Jose says he can take your case, you can be assured he will dedicate the proper amount of attention unless he tells you otherwise.

Joseph Caballe's response: Based on the outcome, I would make the same referral again! Im very glad things worked out so well for you, and was happy to help. The most important thing is that the client wins!

Great Help at a Difficult Time!

Reviewing policies these days is too difficult and could be really costly, so we were referred to Joe-- and he was great. It really helped to understand where we are and what we need to do.
