Well pleased

Excellent understanding of people and their situations. My family member had multiple issues and violations in different Courts all of which he managed carefully and efficiently. The outcomes were appropriate and acceptable. Could not have had a better representation.

Mr Fletcher is a great Attorney!! I had a Domestic case and i was falsely accused! Joe stood up for me and he fought to prove my innocence! The legal process of courts were very draining. The court appointed attorney did not fight to prove my innocence! Mr Fletcher proved my innocence! Also Mr Fletch...er resolved the matter in record breaking time!! If you have legal problems, call Mr Fletcher immediately! I guarantee you will be happy with Mr Fletcher working for you through the legal process! Thanks a million Joe!!

Happy with my decision in hiring Mr. Fletcher.

I ended up needing Mr. Fletcher's help in a case and i couldn't be happier with my choice. He was understanding helpful and in the courtroom he didn't take any crap. He was right to the point and helped me out in one of my most times of need. I would suggest him to anyone. Class A lawyer. On top o...f being very reasonable when it came to my payment.

Terrible lawyer

I hired Joe for my divorce case. At the beginning I had hoped to work things out with my ex amicably but she hired an aggressive lawyer who made up his own facts and Joe was unable to defend me against this. What bothers me most is the fact that he is unwilling to admit any fault on his end. He ke...eps trying to push the blame all back on me. I am sure he will come back and claim I am distorting the facts or that what I say is not true. His famous line to me is "I told you to take the settlement". For the reason of misconstrued facts and hearsay I did not feel comfortable with that agreement and he did not fight anything that the other attorney claimed. For example they claimed extensive repairs to the house that my ex was living in that she would have to be responsible for. However there was no evidence of this whatsoever and Joe just bought all of this. i could go on but will try to keep this short. The fact that I am writing a bad review and Joe will come back and put a lot of effort in to defend his reputation aggravates me even more. If he put this same passion and effort into my case we may not be in the situation we are in now where I feel compelled to write a bad review.

Mr. Alpert: There are significant facts missing from your review, which makes the review unreliable and inaccurate. It is unfortunate that you have never bothered to express any dissatisfaction with my services over the appx year I represented you, which you also advised the Court of on the record at the time you told the Judge you wanted to have the Court close Trial proofs and move forward with a decision. You also expressly stated under oath that you wanted to end the Trial and have the Judge decide the case on the evidence admitted at Trial. While I agree that the outcome was not what you and I desired or believed was equitable, and that is why I recommended you consult with appellate counsel and follow the proper appellate channels, I cannot be blamed for your unilateral decision to ultimately take a very unfavorable set of facts to the Court. You were advised on several occasions over the year I represented you to resolve the case through mediation or through agreement with your ex-spouse. You rejected all settlement proposals at 3 different mediation sessions, even after being reminded by the mediator, that the risk of Trial was likely not in your best interests. You failed to mention in your review that I immediately notified the Court prior to Trial of a crisis in your family just before the Trial and I promptly filed an emergency motion to adjourn the Trial. The Court denied that. I don't feel like I need to say much more because I maintained the same level of professionalism and compassion to you even even beyond the conclusion of your case. Frankly, this is a very unfair and inaccurate review. It is very clear that you are attempting to shift your dissatisfaction with the outcome onto me and that is completely inappropriate and misleading to those reviewing me for possible representations. Regardless of your negative feelings and false review, I wish you and your family the best. Sincerely, Joe
