Great attorney!

In the past, I have had horrible experiences with attorneys addressing child abuse and custody of my children. They often did not know the details of my case, rarely returned calls or emails, and overall was not effective. I hired Joseph to further address child abuse and custody of my children. J...oseph and his firm work closely together to meet client's needs. I am astounded by the level of professionalism, dedication, and great customer service that Joseph and his firm provides. Joseph and his staff ALWAYS respond to phone calls and emails the same business day. He understands the sense of urgency when dealing with sensitive issues like the protection of your children. Joseph always presents himself professionally and ethically. He is a wonderful negotiator and is an effective advocate. If you utilize Joseph's services, you can feel confident that you will have a strong attorney and firm by your side. My case went to a trial and I could not have asked for more. Joseph proved our case and the judge ruled on our behalf. He was prepared, focused, and was our tool to have justice and protection FINALLY. This was truly life changing and my family and I will be forever thankful to Joseph and his staff.

Do Not Hire Joe Nigh

No representation in terms of advocacy nor legal guidance / direction was provided. I hired Joe January 2025 and fired him November 2025 in the middle of divorce settlement negotiations. He was ineffective, absent, and well overpaid for a lack of services. His associate Jessica Rowland is inexperienc...ed, nonchalant and impersonal. Between the two attorneys I received no strategic planning nor advocacy on my behalf. Neither attorney was worth the money charged. Do not waste your money with this firm.
