Stupid, low IQ & scammer attorney.

Joel is a P.O.S., nasty, dumb, arrogant, low class, perverted, low intelligence guy who would be better off working as a circus clown. I should have done my homework and researched all his horrible reviews online before I hired this loser. Search him up online and you’ll see what I’m talking about. H...e has so many crimes and scandals in his recent past it’s almost unreal. Joel screwed me over so badly and he ruined my case. His fees are outrageous especially for how stupid he is. What a rip off!

Total Loser

I wish I would have read all the horrible reviews on this joke of an “attorney” before I hired him. Joel Spitzer is a nasty low class guy who has no clue what he’s doing on family law & criminal law. I was horrified when I read the court case in Delaware County that he filed and lost. This case rev...ealed all his shady and criminal acts. Look up Spitzer v. Knapp, 2019-Ohio-2770. Read it and it tells you all you need to know about him. Im shocked he is still allowed to be an attorney with a history like his. All he does is lose cases, even cases he files for himself personally. Total Loser!

Bad Attorney

Joel did not know what he was doing on my case. He practices in so many areas of law I don’t think he is very knowledgable in any one area of the law. He's also very arrogant and rude. I also heard he’s been arrested before numerous times and so he legally changed his name years ago so people couldn’...t search him up and see all his crimes.

This guy is a scum bag!

I believe this man is a terrible attorney and an even worse human being. Search him up online to see how he was arrested when pulled over with a woman in his car who wasn’t his wife. Or search up his political scandal in Delaware County.

Responsive, smart, and efficient

Joel was great to work with. He was prompt and responsive. He was available at all hours and days. He worked through my divorce finalizing things quickly with good command of the law.
