Joe Poell Review

Used Joe Poell for my divorce attorney for well over a year. He did extremely poor the entire time and even quit on me and my daughter in front of the judge as we were fighting for custody of our three dogs. He is never prepared when we go to court and was unsure of the facts of our case even aft...er representing me and my two kids for over a year. If you are looking for a divorce attorney I would consider any other attorney besides him! He is terrible!!

Divorce

He is the worst attorney ever. He took my money and didn’t do anything. He never answered his calls or responded his emails. I believe that is the reason he doesn’t have any reviews

Divorce / Child Custody

Attorney Joseph R. Poell is an outstanding person. He faithfully stood by my side along with his well trained staff during my consultation and throughout my divorce. I was at the time a stay at home mother with a son a little over one year old. Attorney Poell, looked out for my child and myself as we...ll as our future. He was always willing to answer my questions and help me to remain focused. I am grateful to say that during this painful process it was a great outcome for my sons future and as well as my own. He gets to the point, however compassionate and returns and/or corresponds rapidly. He was a wonderful staff working for him and have been for quite some time. They are also key components and are very friendly as well as caring. Attorney Joseph R. Poell is honest with you and that in itself says enough. I cant thank him enough. I have referred a few people over the years to Attorney Joseph R. Poell, in which is still following the experience, as I had with him and his staff.
