This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Smart and Kind Lawyer

I had a few consultations with Joe. He is very smart and kind and thorough. He makes you feel at ease and comfortable which is a rarity with some of the abrasive will county lawyers out there. He was always warm and inviting and easy to get ahold of. I would recommend him for family matters.

Great communicator

Joe was excellent in communicating the options that I had throughout the divorce process. He was able to complete the process in about 4 months and meet my desired timeline. He understands the nuances of complicated relationships and works for the best outcome.

Excellent lawyer

I have nothing but positive things to say about Joe Janusonis. Going thru a divorce is already difficult enough, but Joe made the process very smooth. I couldn’t have done it without him. Joe is extremely helpful and very compassionate. If you’re going thru a divorce, I definitely recommend him! He ...will get you thru it every step of the way! Thank you

The right man for the job

Joe was amazing. He is a great listener which made his responses genuine. From the moment I met him, I was treated as a person and not a client. I am so grateful that I made the decision to have him represent me. He gets it.

Divorced Momma

Joe is fantastic, understanding and extremely patient. I had no idea what to do or how to do it with divorce. He walks you through it and made sure my kids and my future were protected. No need to look elsewhere - Joe is the lawyer for your needs!!!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
