Beware
Joel represented me on an OP case in 2019. He was not familiar with the law on multiple occasions and was not prepared in court. He failed to bring in a witness telling me he didn't have time although I gave him the name and phone number. He failed to subpoena documents needed as I requested. While questioning a witness, he failed to identify discrepancies. He misspoke often, struggled with names, and did not know what the word "hear say" meant. He also lost a thumb drive that was to be given to me. He is very disorganized.
