Cares about his clients

I believe that Joe does everything in his power to get the best possible outcome. He takes the time to listen to you and is compassionate. He charged less and gave more. If he is pretending, hes good at it. That is more effort than most attorneys give in Mid Michigan.

Very helpful

My case is still winding through the system but I’ve put all my faith in Mr. Blata after meeting with several other attorneys. He listened well and attentively to my concerns and history. Even taking time out of his day, twice, when I arrived unannounced to talk with me. I’ve been very impressed ...by his professionalism, knowledge of the law, and is honest responses to my queries. I’ll update this post after a resolution of my case but so far so good.

  • 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.
