Top notch service

I had a wonderful experience working with Joe. He assisted me with an eviction and also the closing of my home. He always got back to me in a timely manner and worked above and beyond. I would highly recommend Joe to anyone that is looking for an excellent real estate attorney.

clueless and unprepared

I called this attorney up to see if he can help with a real estate situation, either he was half asleep or something because he was confused by everything, asked the color of the house as if it mattered and honestly just seemed like he was surprised that he is a lawyer. Well I am surprised someone ga...ve him the license as well.

Often when a cold call comes in and no background is known by myself it can be hard to understand what the individuals issues are with out asking questions that may seem out of place. Also the individual calling in often have a hard time articulating their issue which would result in some sort of confusion. This potential client never set up an in person meeting and a two minute phone call seems a little bit of a small sample size when calling into question my licensing.

Hassle free sale

Joe handled the sale of my house and all of the details associated with the sale. I met with him only one time in person and we had a few phone conversations, and Joe did the rest. It was a hassle-free sale for me which I appreciated very much because I had already moved to a different state by the t...ime my house was sold. Thank you Joe, for all your help and attention to detail that made this sale so easy for me!

Sale of my house.

Joe provided both advice and legal service in the planning for the sale through closing. He even provided guidance to the eventual purchaser. All went smoothly and effortlessly on my side of the sale. If you have a property for sale you should seriously considerJoe Menges.

We highly recommend - Joe Menges Law

My wife Pam and I lived in our home for 45 years before deciding to sell and move near our children/grandchildren. The thought of putting our house on the market and all that went with it was mind numbing. We have used Joe Menges Law for other legal assistance such as wills, etc. so we turned to him ...to handle our closing once our home sold. We couldn’t be more pleased with the job Joe did for us! We had so much on our plates with the sale and move we decided to leave all the legal matters in Joe’s hands. With his expertise, what we thought would be a nightmare was actually a non-event! He took care of everything! If you’re looking for an attorney that will lower your stress level and do an outstanding job for you, look no further then Joe Menges Law!
