The Best in the Business

I was very pleased with Josephs professionalism but equally impressed with his understanding and compassion. This was a very scary time for me yet Joseph made me feel very comfortable and positive about the whole process, he listened to all of my concerns and answered each and every question. Joseph ...provided me with plenty of options to contact him anytime I needed. He is very knowledgeable about all the bankruptcy laws. Overall Joseph Olstein made this a very stress free process which is why I am highly recommending him.

Chapter 7

From my first initial Consultation with Attorney Olstein, I felt comfortable. I was going through a legal separation and a foreclosure and Attorney Olstein was so knowledgeable and precise that I felt a tremendous weight off of my shoulders from the start. I highly recommend his firm.

Really cares

After interviewing multiple bankruptcy attorney's I placed my trust with Joseph. His professionalism and leadership made my case go extremely smooth. I have recommended him to multiple people in my situation.

Great Attorney

Joseph Olstein is an amazing attorney! I filed a Chapter 13 with him and he made the process smooth and worry free. His fees are in the normal range of what most attorneys will charge. Everyone's situation is different but I have sent this man through a lot and he always been very patient and unders...tanding but most importantly debt free!

Made buying my first condo a wonderful experience

Joseph helped me through the process of buying my first condo and was so helpful. Not knowing anything about buying a condo and not having anyone near by to help me; Joseph was knowledgeable and responsive with all the many questions. He helped make what could have been a scary process much smoother ...and a wonderful experience.

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.
