Joseph Michael West

Joe West is an exceptional attorney! My wife and I were at wits end with harassment from a neighbor about our farms' roosters crowing and about us having a farm in general. Joe was very attentive to our concerns and able to give us valuable guidance. He was always very quick to respond to our cal...ls/texts. Even when writing us legally framed responses to our 3rd party concerns, his work was completed forthwith yet his word-smith quality was in spades! He has a way of writing that is rarely seen. On top of that his work is very complete, nothing left to chance. As an attorney, I have the highest respect for Joe West and am relieved when he is working for us because I know he is professional, caring, diligent and thorough.

My family and I are from Ohio. We are relocating to Michigan and entered into a complicated home purchase that needed title review and legal advice. I found Joe on Avvo and compared him against other attorneys solely based on reviews. After speaking with him it was evident that his reviews did not... sing his praises enough. Joe is a stellar attorney. He provided great advice and reviewed the title work thoroughly and efficiently. His quotes and billing hours were straightforward and competitive. Joe even worked over the weekend for us as well as made himself available to attend our closing. I am so glad we made the right choice and hired Joe West as our legal consultant.

I started my own business and the company I worked for previously was sending me "legal letters" from their attorney threatening me and my company. A friend of mine recommended Mr. West to represent me and after the first phone call with him I felt very comfortable that he could get this resolved. Al...l it took was one of Joe's well written letters to their attorney and the previous company backed right down. If you're looking for a well verse legal counsel that knows the law and how to get things done quickly, then Mr. Joseph West is your man. I would highly recommend him, in fact if any other issues come up, he will be the first one I call. Dave

We needed a lawyer to help us with a particularly sensitive real estate transaction. Joe provided exceptional legal representation-- he was thorough in his analysis of the issues involved, responsive every time we emailed him (regardless what time of day or night!), and his fee schedule was fair and ...reasonable. I was particularly impressed when he proactively reached out after our closing to make sure it went without a problem (as it turned out, we did need his advice on some follow up matters). I would recommend Joe very highly to anyone who needs legal assistance.

As a real estate investor and user of legal services in general it is refreshing to deal with someone like Joe. Joe is a smart, smart lawyer that has his clients back and genuinely cares about each deal. Joe has presided over two multi million dollar complex commercial real estate deals for me. ...His ability to clearly and concisely address issues, go to bat for my interests appropriately, and conduct himself in truly effective manner has been a major asset and component of closing those deals. One of which, I don't think we would have closed without Joe's ability to diffuse a hostile sellers attorney in the face of delays brought on by third party reports. Without Joe's firm management we got our necessary extension and closed the deal! In my experience with many lawyers Joe stands out someone of integrity. His billing practices are great and extremely fair. Working with Joe has saved me money when I have asked him to collaborate with other lawyers on deals forcing those lawyers to up their game and not waste time. Joe is the perfect lawyer for complex transactions of any size and someone who is looking for value and loyalty. His integrity makes him of particular value to people involved in commercial transactions that they may not otherwise know how to handle as some legal professionals have been known to take advantage of such a situation. To an experienced commercial real estate market participant, Joe will bring value time and time again.
