Hired Estate Attorney

I had the opportunity to work with Joseph Somma after my husband passed. The estate involved many issues; multiple rental properties, creditor claims against the estate and heirs' disputes. Joe was excellent in managing every detail of the estate, I appreciated his professional attitude, his courteou...s demeanor and prompt responses to my questions and assistance needed. When faced with difficult situations, Joe clearly represented options required to handle the issue. I would recommend Joseph Somma to anyone needing an Estate Attorney.

Five Star Review for Mr. Joseph C. Somma

Mr. Somma took on a case June of 2022 knowing the long existing problems between my brother and I over a very long period of time. Within several months, Brother and I could have decent conversations concerning the sale and division of parents property. Mr. Somma was always professional with sound ...advice and concern for both parties. I am happy to say that we have been able to reach an equitable settlement for both of us. Mr. Somma went above and beyond to help even to the extent of walking us through sale closing and leading the way through courthouse documents. YOU definitely want Mr. Joseph C. Somma in your corner! Virginia R.

Excellent Support For Out of State Real Estate Investors

We have worked with Joe Somma for almost three years and will continue to work exclusively with him. Joe has provided excellent support on contract review and overall legal guidance on real estate matters. He is down-to-earth and does not “nickel and dime” for every call and email we have. We need mo...re Joe Sommas on our team!

Satisfied client

Joseph Somma is hands down the best attorney. We hired him to do a quit claim deed that should have been done at the time of a divorce. We were trying to refinance our home and the ex gave us a hard time removing her name. But Mr Somma knew just what to do. We had VERY little time to get this done bu...t he made it happen! We couldn’t believe it. We are so thankful him. We will definitely recommend him!! He is one awesome attorney.

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.
