Incredibly horrendous service. Inability to make good on communication and commitments. Four months of wasted time in a time sensitive situation, failed to listen or adjust legally so much so had to be dropped for another attorney. Would not recommend.

He will leave no stone un-turned and will make sure all of his filings are of the highest quality for his clients to give them the best chance of winning. He's a great lawyer."
"Having worked with Joseph in the Virga Law Firm's Orlando office from the Summer of 2018 until January of 2020, I can wholeheartedly endorse this attorney. Joseph is knowledgeable, experienced, and fights zealously for his clients - often working late, accepting calls after hours, or working on the weekend. He cares about his clients and their cases, and has invaluable court room experience in front of a large number of judges in the Orange and surrounding county areas. He is a valued member of our team, and constantly impresses us with his knowledge and information."
