Joe Saves Lives and Families

Joe Considine helped save my wife’s life and restord our family including allowing 2 children to have their mother back. With my wife suffering from Alcoholism and refusing to get treatment, I turned to Joe to get her court ordered rehab through the Marchman Act. Within 24 hours of my first call to... Joe, we had a court order and the following day she was in rehab. Joe and his staff worked quickly and efficiently to ensure she received the treatment she needed. He kept me informed and sent me emails with all filings and communications with other parties throughout the process. He prepared me for the hearings and walked me through what to expect so I was fully prepared. There was a very difficult and uninformed opposing counsel who potentially could have derailed our efforts but Joe was able to push forward and get the court order for a full stint in rehab and sober living. Fast forward several months, and a family has been reunited and rebuilding their lives with total sobriety and 12 step programs. Joe is an attorney who is passionate about what he does and cares about his clients and their families. He is the first person you should call if a loved one is suffering from the disease of addiction and needs help.

Peaceful Process

If you are looking for a calm in the midst of your storm call Joseph Considine. He was clear and precise when explaining the law, empowering during a time I felt powerless and direct in handling the other side. His staff was quick to respond to my questions and helpful in resolving issues.

Highly tecommended

I have known Joe for many years and had the need to retain his services more recently to protect my grandson from unfit parents. He is smart, compassionate and while he represented us as our attorney, we have come to think of him as a friend. He knows family law, he gives back to the community and ...he is a class act who will represent you well in and out of the court room.

Joe is a Good Man

I hired Joe Considine to represent me in my divorce. He is not only a good attorney, but a man of good conscience. It was a great comfort to have Joe in my corner.

Peace of Mind

Over the past 10 years I have taken comfort in knowing, no matter what my circumstances, if I need legal councel, Joe is there for me. I have no doubt that he is always acting in my best interest. If my matters are outside of his practice he is there to refer me to another professional who is best su...ited for the job. I am not just a case or a number to Joe and his staff; I am a person and dare I say friend. All of this gives me tremendous peace of mind as I go through life!

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Joe Considine is the consummate professional. Working against Joe for the past 7 years has been a rewarding challenge. He is always prepared and aggressively represents all of his clients. What most impresses me about Joe, however, is his ability to individually tailor his representation to each particular client."

Family lawyer | Oct 14

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I met Joe while working on the opposite side of a family law case. During that case, I was very impressed with Joe's knowledge of the law, his professionalism and his work ethic. When you work on cases with and against other lawyers for as long as I have, you find out really fast which ones are the best. The ones you'd hire for yourself if you had a problem are the ones that are the best. Joe is one of those lawyers. Joe helped me with my divorce and I still confer with him on a regular basis when I encounter difficulties in the family law cases that I am handling for my clients. And, one other thing about Joe that's a real bonus is his demeanor. In this particular area of the law, there is an abundance of stress and anxiety. Joe has a very cool, laid back demeanor that belies his killer instinct. Accordingly, if you're looking for a Family Law lawyer, I would, without reservation, highly recommend him."
