Company Contract Review

I consulted with Mr. Dickey in regards to our company-client contact (Event Planning Services). He highlighted the gaps in our current contract and provided concise and clear feedback in a timely manner. I look forward to working with Mr. Dickey in the future.

Posted by Kenneth | January 07, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Contracts & Agreements

Better than the rest!

Joseph has reviewed several of our business contracts and has saved us countless dollars in excess legal fees. Trustworthy, knowledgeable, and professional are just a few ways that I would describe him. I have referred him to several members of our business club and feel confident in any future endor...sements to anyone else.

Always there when I need him, and always gets things done fast

I lean on Joseph primarily contract reviews, but he has also provided counsel on other topics. He is always fast, responsive, and thoughtful. I have nothing but great things to say about him and the legal counsel he's provided.

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.
