Quick resolution with highest integrity

Joel has represented our corporate interests at both medium and large corporations. Joel expertly handled our case and it resolved things in the most expeditious way. I would never hesitate to recommend Joel to any corporation or for any personal legal needs.

Tenacious

Joel is extremely responsive and knowledgeable. He always kept me informed and included me in making strategic decisions. I have learned that litigation is very much like a game of chess, and Joel thinks at least four moves ahead!
