No one wants to be in a situation that requires a criminal defense attorney. However, if you ever are, hire Joel. He is professional, dependable, and he will go to bat for you. He offered to come and meet me at the courthouse during my first panicked call to him, and he had my situation resolved with all charges dropped that same week. He is a straight shooter and he cares about his clients. I hope to never need that kind of representation in the future, but I’d hire him again in a heartbeat.
Schechet took on my mother's case that involved multiple felonies. He handled it like it was easy! He is very responsive and easy to talk to. He did a great job and both my mother and I totally reccomend him.
