Joe was The One to help me

Having been directed to Joe Menges and his office was one of the best things that has happened to me since my husband, Robert, passed away in July 2022. Joe has helped me navigate my way through unfamiliar circumstances, at the same time making a point to ensure I understood everything goin on relat...ed to that situation (and there were a couple of them). He stepped in where needed and did his absolute best, regardless of my personal reality at the moment. I will always recommend him if anyone asks. Thank you, Joe.

Handling my Mother's estate

I live in Europe, my 2 sisters live in the States, we hired Mr. Joseph Menges to take care of my mother's estate and sell her condo because she had passed away and even though I was abroad he gave me exact instructions on where to go and on how to prepare all the necessary docs to handle the estate ...and sell her condo.

Home Purchase

Attorney Menges helped us with our purchase as first-time home buyers. He was very responsive with the many questions that we had. He gives you honest, realistic advice. During closing, he made sure we understood everything that we were signing. Great experience overall. Highly recommended.

Wallace Family Home Closing

Joseph provided my wife and I a world-class experience throughout the home buying process. From start to finish his attention to detail, responsiveness and follow up, and the much needed hand-holding was consistent and he was able to deliver on all asks. The closing was also seamless thanks to his ...communication with not only ourselves but the other attorneys. We HIGHLY recommend Joseph for any legal needs and specifically closing on a home. You will not be disappointed when working with him. Thank you to Joseph and his team!

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.
