Posted by Barb | November 02, 2016 | Employment & Labor

Wonderful lawyer, very personable, I would call him again if I needed a lawyer.

I am very happy with what Joey did for me. He spent several hours helping me with FMLA and keeping my job. I did not end up having to go to court to keep it and since he requires payment only if he wins, and I did not have to actually file papers and go to court he did not charge me anything. Several... hours of help, A LOT of good information, I kept my job and he did not bill me at all. If I need a lawyer again, he will be my first call and I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone else that needs a lawyer.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
