About Joel
Biography
I am a trial lawyer. I practice family law. Most of my cases are in Will County, but I also have cases in DuPage County, Grundy County, Kane County, Kendall County, and Markham and Bridgeview in Cook County.
I have been practicing law for over a decade and I have dozens of jury trials and thousands of bench trials and hearings under my belt.
