This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent service

Joe Wojciechowski helped on a litigation case where I lost close to six figures in Crypto due to negligence from a large firm. This happened early in 2022. Joe and his team took on the case, understood what had happened and told me what information I needed to provide. I provided the details requ...ired and Joe saw the case through to ensure I got a pretty reasonable settlement. Joe is responsive, informative and someone I would trust and work with again.

Suit of Financial Advisor for failure to do his fiduciary duty

Joe won a suit for me in his suit of my Financial Advisor for his failure to do his fiduciary duty pertaining to his advice to invest into what turned out to be a ponzi scheme. The Financial Advisor pretty much guaranteed that we would make 5% interest on our investment of making loans on real estat...e. The company we invested in went bankrupt and turned out to be a ponzi scheme. Joe was very up front with us and professional in helping us win our suit.

Kelli's C

"I hired Joe Wojciechowski to help me. I was unsure of the type of Attorney I needed to help me with my situation. Joe took the time to listen and walk through the steps of what I needed to do. I truly enjoyed working with Joe. He did a fantastic job with my case, along with educating myself on my l...egal rights. Joe was prompt with responses, updates, and keeping me informed on the next steps. I would, for sure, hire Joe again!"

Joe

I thought Joe did an amazing job on my case. He was easy to contact when I had questions, and he answered them in a way that I could understand easily. I thought him and his team were very thorough and honest about what to expect. I do not feel like he gave me any false hope. Even though it is n...ot fun going through a lawsuit, Joe made it manageable. I would recommend him any time to a friend. He worked his butt off for my case.

Balanced and Professional

Joe gave us a good overview of what we were dealing with, kept us informed of progress and provided support when we were in mitigation. He truly enjoys his work so his approach was very focused, but not aggressive. He has a way of seeing the big picture while dealing with the hundreds of details.... He works with a good team who all respond quickly to inquiries and were nice to work with.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have had the privilege of working with Joe for over a decade. When I first started with Stoltmann Law Offices, Joe was a full-time paralegal and balancing law school at the same time. His ability to handle such a full workload carried over when he became licensed. This area of law is truly Joe's passion. I could not have asked for a better mentor and you are not going to find a better attorney out there to help you recover your investment losses."

"Joe is the best in the business. He's been the driving force behind his firm's success for the last ten years. Although frequently working behind the scenes Joe is a star in his own right. Joe is an absolute expert at FINRA Arbitration and Securities and Investment Fraud. Despite still being in his 30's you'd be hard pressed to find another attorney with more experience in FINRA arbitration and securities litigation. Hiring a a lawyer is like buying a car... its the miles not the year. Joe has a ton of miles!"
