Great lawyer!

Worth every penny! Extremely successful outcome! I highly recommend Joe Stafford! You want him on your side in a "Bar" fight. Joe took over my complicated case after previous counsel withdrew representation. He listened, heard what I said, and acted in my best interest. Joe fought with knowledg...e, competence, and uncanny navigation of the legal battlefield. He performed the task for which he was hired and let me live my best life. Joe's expertise was just what was needed.

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

I put my trust in him, because I knew he would take care of me and my children. That's all I had to hold on to.

Divorce is a terrifying process. As a single mom, I was terrified for the future. All I had to hold on to during this time was my trust in Mr. Stafford. I had to trust that he was doing his very best for me and my children - that's all I had to hold on to during those horrible times of fear and de...spair. My experience with Mr. Stafford and his firm was excellent. I would recommend him to anyone in need of help. I'm well aware of what other attorneys and individuals have to say about him but I never experienced such things. I believe Mr. Stafford unites the profession because they can all agree to dislike him. He creates a common ground for his opponents. He is smart and he can win. This creates jealousy from his peers. Mr. Stafford changed my life and I will be forever grateful.

Joe Stafford

I would recommend this lawyer to every friend getting a divorce. He tries to keep things amicable if possible. He doesn't even respond to frivolous things that go on during the divorce and doesn't fuel the fire. If it can't be amicable then atleast you know that you will not be taken advantage of ...ever. I would not have trusted my family in any one else's hands. He may not call back all the time because everything is ok. Just trust him..he won't let you down.

absentee lawyer

This lawyer promised he would have no trouble in obtaining results quickly . The only thing he is quick about is asking for more money. It appears to all our freinds and family that he is dragging this on to run up the bill. He his all talk and the end is never in site. Will keep this site updated as... he continues this on and on and on.
