Posted by Bill | August 10, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Commercial

Joe Dudley has represented me for 20 plus years.

I am a long time client of Joe's and over the past 20 years he has represented me in the purchase and closing of two residences, a complicated commercial land sale and multiple "life situations". He is very down to earth and easy to talk to and understand; he does not use a lot of "legalese" and prac...tices a common sense approach to the problem. He is tough and determined when it is called for, and always an advocate for finding the best solution to your problem. Over those years I have recommended him to many of my friends who have also been pleased with his representation.

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.
