Thank you, Joe!

Joe was the third lawyer I consulted with and I retained him because he immediately began action on my case with a winner’s attitude. I consider myself a moderate person and wanted fairness overall. My ex called him aggressive, but I saw him fight for my rights and was extremely pleased that he could... counter her appalling, unfair, and unrealistic advances on my divorce case. My ex even congratulated me on retaining a good lawyer because she still considered the mediation-resolved consent final judgement to be unfair to her! Joe knew exactly how to leverage the TEN undisclosed accounts she was using to hide money from equitable distribution. Joe pulled me out of a previous and unfair legal agreement and set me on the best ground to start life as a divorced parent of three. I also recognize Joe’s decision to work for Zisser Law was an excellent one because of the immediate recognition by everyone at Zisser on what should be done with my case. Joe tirelessly and professionally handled my case and I would highly recommend retaining him for your family law case.

Couldnt have been any better

Joseph has been a savior for my divorce and dealing with my extremely difficult and unstable ex-wife. I have been through a few lawyers and was not getting the assistance I needed. That ended when I was recommended to visit the Zisser law firm as I knew that was one of the top firms in Jacksonville f...or family law. His best quality is what another lawyers struggle with... Communication. I understand that lawyers are busy but the uncertainty of knowing what is going on is important and Joseph seems to understand that. He always had the best interest of my child and is very knowledgeable about the process. Also, he is equipped with some of the best resources in the business working with the Zisser law firm. Cost is reasonable and well worth it. I highly recommend Joseph Alvarez.

  • 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.
