Joseph Stafford is the smartest guy in the room

After two years of mishandling by other attorneys, my divorce proceedings were a complete mess. Joe agreed to take over my case and settled favorably for my children and I within 5 months. He is brilliant and fearless. He is a results-based attorney who doesn't waste time with lengthy emails or ph...one conversations. Let him do his job- he's truly great at it.

He will fight for you!

I hired Joe when my short marriage was clearly over. He handled various issues regarding my finances and child custody for me. Joe is extremely knowledgeable regarding the law. He will fight tooth and nail for his clients, he made sure my ex spouse did not screw me over. I have already referred two o...f my close friends to Joe, and I would do it again!

When in Rome .....

My magistrate was smoking crack...and is mob controlled The guardian ad litem burnt his occupied apartment building for the insurance money after HIS divorce The judge would not sign a order because he was on the take .... and on and on and on for 15 years not a man of integrity in sig...ht .........except Larry Loeb and they complain about Joe ....LoL He is the least of the problems in DR You get the most flak when your over the target. Domestic Relations is a circus ........if you have the money ......Hire Joe .....and pray you pull Loeb .....the only honest and wise person I met in 15 years in DR . Most of the people working in DR should be incarcerated judges, magistrates ect....and these "family courts' will decide your fate. Prepare for the Worst hope for the best .......and hire Joe. Many thanks Joe and Vince Ken M

Wonderful Attorney

Joe was a great advocate to have. He will fight for you. My ex husband filed to amend our parenting schedule and child support, two months after our dissolution was finalized. I then met with Joe, he reassured me that he would get the results I was looking for. He was correct, not only did he win the... case, he made it as painless as possible. Litigation is stressful, particularly when it involves one's children, Joe made the process as stress free as possible.

Joe provides his clients with the needed sense of comfort & security during an uncertain/chaotic process!

Joe is the best attorney that you could ask for. He has his priorities and values where they should be. Although I did not feel he was fabulous with communicating what was going on, he has a fabulous staff that assisted with that. He is a hard worker and you can guarantee that he is prepared. He read...s people very well and, for me, made other factors in our divorce case the focus so that the case didn't center in on our kids. This allowed the kids to carry on with their lives. I disagree when people say that other lawyers don't like/respect him. I believe they just don't want to go against him! During Joe's time off, another lawyer temporarily assisted me, and my lawyer and the opposing counsel raved about his talents and aptitude. Joe is extremely intelligent and well versed, and not just in the legal system. I would highly recommend Joe. The most beneficial attribute that Joe provided me was the sense of comfort and security throughout the intimidating divorce process. Divorce is a process that affects the rest of your life and with it there are many uncertainties. The assurance Joe provided was even more valuable to me than my outcome! Joe privided me the confidence to carry on with my life during all the chaos and turmoil.
