Integrity Plus!

I am speechless after an hour-long consultation with Joseph Ireland! He listened intently and was honest with his recommendations and suggestions. He was professional, yet had the ability to connect on a friendly level with my son who was nervous about the entire legal process. He helped us feel m...uch more prepared with a plan moving forward. Mr. Ireland is a great find for your family law needs!

Would hire him once more, if needed.

Mr. Ireland is intuitive and honest. I hired him to help with school placement for my children, as my ex-husband and I couldn't agree upon the location. He walked me through the entire process with honesty and integrity (despite the unprofessional tactics used by my ex-husband's attorney).

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.
