Joe is an honest and reliable attorney. He is well versed in real estate and will work tirelessly for you. I hired Joe to represent me with a real estate issue. He was always available when I had questions and made time to address any concerns. If you need a good attorney that is easy to work with al...ong with a winning attitude he is the one!

A lawyer who cares

Joe was referred to us by an acquaintance and he has been a Godsend. He is super at communicating and honest and upfront about the status of your case. You will be glad you chose Joe for your attorney.

Great work !

Brilliant business and transactions lawyer. I handle many complex commercial real estate and development matters. I have always been not only impressed with his ability to navigate the waters of a complex negotiation, but also like working with him as a person. He is professional and knowledgeable ...and a pleasure to work with. He has that quality that is rare in todays world, integrity. Joe Somma is my attorney for all my Alabama transactions. I would not use anyone else. Five stars!!!

Very satisfied customer

First and foremost I would like to state that I do not leave many reviews however with the exceptional service, Communication, and the concern that Mr Joe Somma took in regards to my case, I felt that it was only right to give credit where credit was due! I have had to hire several attorneys in the p...ast for different occasions but I can 100% say that without a doubt I will not use anyone else but Joe Somma, I absolutely love the way he is upfront to the point and is very helpful through the process it's hard this day and time to find an attorney that you can trust but I and I totally trust him and I hope that you find my review to be helpful I have the utmost respect for Mr Somma, thanks for taking my case it was a pleasure working with you, you made my situation so much easier to deal with.. Sincerely, Brad

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.
