Best Attorney in Greensboro

Joel is the best criminal defense attorney. He has helped us twice in the past with traffic offenses and I highly recommend his service. He is very professional and loves what he does. If you are looking for a fair trial, Joel is your attorney.

Hands down the Best!!

Four times I've retained Mr. Joel N. Oakley, he's truly a man of his word, and the best guy to go to bat for you if you wind up in any trouble. All four times he got either got the case dropped, or in the really HUGE one he got me probation on a charge that the DA really wanted prison time for. Thank...s pal, Robert

Very Personable and Expedient

I highly recommend Mr. Oakley as he was very personable from day one and worked quickly to have my case resolved. In a situation that could have been very stressful, he provided me relief. I cannot thank him enough for his work!

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.
