Great Attorney

Joseph B. Battaglia is a very professional and great attorney. He was always there when we needed him. Quick in getting back to us when we needed him. He was great at guiding us through our process. We will always recommend him to anyone who needs a bankruptcy attorney

Posted by Gloria | October 17, 2018 | Hired Attorney

Highly recommend his services

Working with Joe Battaglia was a great experience. He was more than kind and helpful. I was very distraught when I came to see him and he immediately put me at ease. He was there for me every step of the way and always available to answer any of my questions and concerns. His knowledge and expe...rience were more that I could have asked for. I will forever be grateful for his help and kindness.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
