Accident injury (jet ski)

In the summer of 2015 I was involved in a watercraft accident causing severe bodily injury. I contacted Joe and had an appointment set up to review my case. Within a short period of time I was able to meet with Joe, where he reviewed and accepted my case. Joe did an excellent job and exceeded my expe...ctations. Joe was very easy to work with on a personal level and made sure I understood where my case was. Joe was very flexiable with his work schedule and always made time to set up meetings and/or talk on the phone. Joe made sure to update me step by step. Near the ending of my case/settlement, things seemed to be coming to conclusion. Joe did not give up and fought until the very end and completely resolved my medical bills. This case took 2 years which to some seem like a long time but Joe kept at it and did not give up. I was referred to Joe through a friend that had previously used Joe for an accident resulting in injury as well. I had contacted another lawyer about this case before signing with Joe. I could not be happier I signed with Joe and the results. two major points that I really liked working with Joe was his ability to explain things on my level and his ability to communicate on a personal level. Also Joe was very easy to work with scheduling and always found time when I needed to meet. I am more then pleased with the work and results done by Joe and will refer him in the future. I would rate my experience a 10/10.
