About Joseph
Biography
As a trial attorney I strive to deliver the best possible results for my clients at all times. I have obtained settlements and judgments for my clients in excess of seven figures and defended matters with millions of dollars at stake. My practice tends to be focused on personal injury matters, insurance defense, debt collection defense and general litigation. Other attorneys in my office also handle criminal defense, traffic, DUI, felonies, misdemeanors, divorce, family and custody and a range of other legal matters.
I work for both individuals and insurance companies - in other words I undertsand both sides which gives me a well rounded view of matters I handle and assists me in advising my clients.

Joe is the best-helped lawyer I have ever met. Met some debt collection issues and I am abroad, and got voice conference communications + discussions + zoom helping, all three at once! Definitely rate 5 star and return to him when other issues popping up!
