Joel S. Trilling

Do you want someone who fights for you, but - at the same time - will always shoot it to you straight? I do, and I'm glad that I found Joel. He is a candid, tough, no-nonsense attorney who will not lead you down the wrong path, no matter how sidetracked you might get because of the nature of the case... and because you're mad at your spouse. He knows the law, but - more importantly - he knows people, including the opposing attorney and the judge. I don't mean "he's part of some black helicopter cabal"; I mean "he knows what they want and is able to boil the issue down to its essence." I wish more attorneys were like Joel. Don't tell him you don't own a gun, though.

Mr. Trilling was appointed to me by the court and, in my humble opinion, I'd rather have a box of bricks defend me. Our client-attorney relationship was brief as I ended up firing him and hiring an attorney out-of-pocket, but I knew I would be better off with anyone else. He was rude, insulting and o...verall I would not recommend him.
