Client

Mr. Cardinal provides on-point legal advice and provides excellent representation in courts. He asks the questions to understand the situation and offers sound advice.

You couldnt possibly find better attorney

There arent enough words in the english language. That would detail the upmost gratitude I have for him, and his assistant. He took on an extremely difficult case, I had went to other attorneys before I found him and they all said it cant be done. This man did it for me. Im extremely grateful. If I e...ver hit the lottery. He will be the first on my list. :-)

A great person and wonderful attorney

I have used Mr. Cardinal in the past and currently using his services. He is very polite, knowledgeable and most importantly he is NOT the stereotypical kind of lawyer you hear about. He truly cares about his clients and his rates are very reasonable. He is completely upfront and honest with his cost...s. A true gem.

child support

I hired Mr. Cardinal to represent me in my child support case. Upon me hiring we had some difference of him not properly providing me with legal documents of my case or representing me to his duties as a lawyer. When i paid him all his money he decided to reside as my counsel I'm furious and i recom...mend no one hire this lawyer as a attorney. and reason he reside because i email him requesting somethings he needed to do and him and his secretary did the most. Joe is the worst lawyer too have when you going through child support court.

This is incorrect factually. However, professional obligations do not allow me to respond as I would wish.

He will take advantage of you!

Hello, I used him for my divorce and a civil case and he quoted me a flat rate and after I took my kids to Florida for a family vacation he then requested I pay him a monthly rate. He never responded to text, emails, he didn’t read motions, discovery, what I requested he never done just showed up to ...zoom court showed his face and continued the case not one argument he did for me. He really kept hitting around the second month how much work he had to do trying to set me up for more money. In the end he didn’t write motions we agreed on. Didn’t accept phone calls and to be very honest he took advantage of me.
