This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Wisdom and Integrity

Joe counseled my family and I on a very sensitive case. His knowledge of the law and procedure, as well as his consideration of the practical concerns involved in our issue, were more than impressive and extremely helpful. I am an attorney myself and would recommend Joe to anyone without hesitation. ...

My father’s estate finally settled!

Courteous, compassionate, creditable! Even distance (I’m in MD) did not diminish the timeliness of correspondence and questions were answered quickly and precisely. The advice received calmed many fears and eased much tension. I’m proud to have had such a great team on my side.

Wonderful representation

Mr Verser has represented me and family members in two cases. He is very highly recommended by retired Judges. I cannot say enough about how dedicated he is to recommending the best solution to a problem.

Recommended without reservation!

Not too long ago we found ourselves in a legal nightmare and needed a serious attorney. Our search for such an attorney introduced us to Joe Verser. From our first meeting, we knew we were going to receive excellent legal representation. Joe quickly put us at ease by explaining in detail, from a l...egal perspective, our options and what we should and should not expect, His demeanor in the courtroom was impressive. Joe steadfastly assisted us through a legal maze that neither my wife or I completely understood. Throughout our ordeal he provided excellent communication which we greatly needed during this highly emotional period. In my opinion, if it were not for Joe and his willingness to go far beyond the typical “client/lawyer” relationship, we would not be enjoying the quality of life we have now! My wife and I would not hesitate to call upon Joe should any future adverse legal issues come our way.

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.
