Memorize 349-1111

I was in jail due to the most surreal experience ever and after 3 days another woman had Joni's number memorized... She answered the phone immediately, she called my parents from her cell phone while I was holding on the jail phone, her assistant took their payment over the phone and then I was out o...f jail in less than 48 hours (I needed a bond hearing because the judge was planning to hold me for 30 days). She is an excellent communicator who is very protective, informative, explicit, accommodating and outgoing. My case was later dismissed due to no evidence... Memorize her number!

Great lawyer

I hired Joni late into my trial after another lawyer messed up my case. She handled herself extremely professionally and advocated on my behalf. I am extremely impressed with her knowledge and understanding of the law. She is a dedicated lawyer who will fight for you!

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.
