HOMERUN

Joey really hit a homerun for me. I was looking at serving a year in jail looking at a DUI 4th, with his help and expertise we got it all the way down to a DUI 1st. I can not thank or praise him enough for his services. Always responded in a timely manner and always was filling me in on what was happ...ening in my case. He also was able to get a DUI for me back in 2014 non-adjudicated even after all these years. Best DUI lawyer in the state hands down.

Really Good Attorney

Joey always tried to help me. When he couldn’t help in a certain area he recommended me to someone who would. I really appreciate his help and knowledgeable advice given to me.

Big Help for a Disabled Veteran

My business was charged with a city ordinance violation. Joey and another attorney teamed up to help me. I really appreciate everything from him. I still call with my legal problems. Love this guy.

Franks law firm

I received a flyer by mail from Mr. Franks that clearly explained his services, and I hired him for what I needed the only thing I did not like was a lack of correspondence I always had to call and follow up with my case but other than that I felt that mr. franks was honest with me and that I can re...ally appreciate and he settled my case quick

Great Attorney

I met with him and he handled my case expeditiously and efficiently. He was down to earth and didn't make me feel incompetent. Great attorney, knows his stuff. Will definitely hire him again if I ever have any other legal matters.

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.
