Professional Integrity

Joel has represented our business and family for over 20 years. I have always found him to be of the highest integrity and his services to be fairly priced. I rely on his expertise in business, real estate, and will/trust issues without concern. In his legal actions he works well with others at need,... knows how to listen to your desires, and keeps you informed at every step. I would highly recommend him.

A Credit to His Profession

My wife and I consulted several attorneys, prior to meeting with Joel and of the numerous attorneys we had meet with; Joel was the only one who meet with us, listened to our concerns and made us feel at ease with the whole bankruptcy process, and unlike many of his colleagues, utilized understanding ...and genuine compassion and never made us feel like bad people, but people in a bad situation; in need of help. Joel's knowledge of the bankruptcy laws, established relationships within the court, and easy going demeanor, made a bad situation; manageable and tolerable. It was also apparent in working with Joel that he was well respected by his peers and the court. Joel truly made us feel like he was on our side and wanted to do whatever he could to ensure that we made it through a rough patch as painlessly as possible. It isn't often that in todays society, a person can be labeled as "a credit, to their profession,' but Joel is. In fact; since our bankruptcy, Joel has also provided invaluable council and legal advise beyond bankruptcy and is part of the reason I recommend Joel to anyone seeking legal advise or representation in any of the arrears in which Joel practices. For the reasons stated above and the fact that Joel; is great about follow up; returning phone calls, emails, etc. Joel's ability as an attorney, are in my opinion, only over shadowed, by his genuine concern and commitment to helping people navigate the legal landscape, with compassion, professionalism, and a fair pricing structure.

I highly recommend Joel for all your legal needs!

Joel has been my primary business attorney since 1992. He is the finest and most detailed researcher that I have ever known! And he is a darn good litigator and negotiator as well! I highly recommend Joel for all your legal needs.
