Great Lawyer

Joel was a great help in my situation as my legal council. He was very professional, very knowledgeable, and extremely affordable. I would definitely recommend Joel if you are in need of legal assistance.

On point and On Time

Joel really bailed me out of a tight spot. His advice was dead on, his execution was timely and his attitide and professionalism was personable and exemplary. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Extremely pleased and satisfied!!!

I started using Joel as I started opening my businesses. I interviewed many lawyers but he was the only one that gave me the truth right from the start. He was clear on how he could help and was honest if he couldn't I could go elsewhere. This team can pretty much help you with everything!!! From g...etting you started from square one on a business, being a shark of a lawyer when your business is running, to doing divorce and child custody. I have used Joel and his team in court, to start up my companies here and overseas as well to just over the phone support. While him and his team have been AMAZING support and help they are honest, fair, and affordable. With the editions they have added they can pretty much cover you in any aspect that you need a lawyer for. Having them I know I have a real power team!!! If you decided to not use them for any reason I'd probably put them on retainer just so they can't be used against you. If you decided against both of those options I would suggest we don't get into a legal dispute because I have all the confidence on my side!!!!

Very satisfied client

Joel is an outstanding Real Estate attorney. He is extremely knowledgeable, sharp, and responsive. I was particularly impressed with him answering calls and responding to my messages within such a short period of time....even on the weekends! Joel knows how to handle a real estate matter flawlessly... from beginning to end. I will certainly continue to use his services when real estate matters are involved in the future. I cannot recommend him enough.

Estate Planning

Mr. Funk helped me and my family in creating our trust and wills in order. Mr. Funk was very knowledgable and patient with all of our questions, resulting in a very concrete and effective trust and will. I definitely recommend Mr. Funk to any and every individual that is looking into creating their t...rust and wills.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Joel and I were on opposite sides of a contract dispute, but he and his firm were very professional during our rather heated negotiations. Subsequently, Joel and I became friends and he is now my constant guide for real estate matters, as he is one of the most knowledgeable attorneys I know in the matter of real estate and trust law. I highly recommend him and his firm, Hart & David, LLP."

  • 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.
