About Joseph
Biography
I was born and raised in Seminole, Florida. I am a graduate of Largo High School and attended Florida State University earning both a Bachelors of Science Degree in Social Science Education and Master's in Planning Degree.
While earning my Master's Degree, I interned with the Florida Senate’s Community Affairs Committee. Following this internship I worked for several years with the Florida Department of Community Affairs as a Community Planner. It was these professional experiences that my facilitated my passion for a career as a real estate attorney. To further my ability to assist others with real estate related issues, I decided to attend law school at Stetson University College of Law in Gulfport, Florida.
I was blessed with the opportunity to work as a law clerk with DeLoach, Hofstra & Cavonis, P.A. while earning my law degree. After graduating from Stetson University College of Law, I stayed on with DeLoach, Hofstra & Cavonis, P.A. practicing in the areas of Real Estate Law, Civil Litigation and Injury Law.
I pride myself in providing my clients with a candid analysis of their legal issues and practical strategies through which those issues may be resolved. While most people hope to never need the assistance of an attorney, it is important to have an attorney whose opinion you can trust and who will zealously and efficiently advocate your best interests.

My wife and I were taken advantage of by an unscrupulous car dealership. The first problem was that even though they had agreed in writing to provide a second key fob, they stalled for several weeks after being presented with a legitimate bill.
