I was fortunate to find Joseph through the AVVO Talk to a Lawyer service as I needed immediate advice on my landlord/tenant issue. Not only did Joseph provide excellent advice, but he went the extra mile to provide me with a critical document that saved me a lot of time and money! GREAT attorney an...d great service from AVVO. Thank you!!!

My wife and I had a dispute with a previous landlord regarding our security deposit. We contacted Joe to discuss the situation. Joe decided to represent us in our dispute with the landlord. From the very beginning, we were very impressed with Joe's knowledge of landlord/tenant law. The landlo...rd failed to amicably settle the dispute so Joe represented us in a lawsuit against the landlord. To be honest, we knew an attorney like Joe would be a very busy person, so we didn't expect too much. But to our surprise, Joe handled our case like it was the ONLY case he had. The attention to detail, the preparation and the knowledge of the law he brought to the case was no less than remarkable. In the end, Joe won our case against the landlord. We had a landlord that was very intractable and seemed to not care about the fact that we had a very good case, so Joe took the case all the way to trial and won the case for us. All we really wanted was our security back but Joe managed to recover the security deposit as well as money that we spent as a result of the landlord forcing us to move prematurely. Bottom line, if you want an attorney that's going to vigorously defend your rights every step of the way, hire Joe. You'll be glad you did, particularly if you have a valid dispute with a landlord. And, unfortunately, there are a lot of landlords out there that have a blatant disregard for tenants rights. But you can rest assured that Joe will fight for you all the way to the end.

I contacted attorney Hughes to recover the depoit from my mom's landlady who refused to give it back in full, despite my mom being an 88 years old lady. Mr. Hughes was always available and willing to answer to my questions and calls. At the end he managed to recover the full amount of the security de...posit and made the unfair landlady pay for his fees. I trully recommend Mr. Hughes as a great lawyer. Thank you Joe!
