Great Person to represent you!

Joe and his staff are absolutely amazing. I went through a nightmare case and sadly hired him late in the game but he still put in all the effort he could to get me a good outcome even though he was late to the game. Can i also just point out that when i was crying and having a panic attack after one... of the hearings he calmed me down and let me cry on his shoulders! he didnt have to stay late he didn't have to talk through things and make me laugh but he did! He and his staff were always there to answer my questions and work with me even down to the bill. I will always go to him and recommend him in the future if i ever need help again! let's hope i don't but if i do its him ill choose. Thank you Joe for everything!

EXCEPTIONAL

...I couldn't be more pleased with the time and generosity I've been shown by the staff of Borsberry Law Office!!! Mr. Borsberry has invested a great deal of effort to ensure a favorable outcome for my Child Support Modification. There may be other attorneys who's fees may be less expensive, howeve...r, the relationship of trust, respect, gratitude and dignity that's been mutually developed with Borsberry Law is invaluable! I highly recommend Joe Borsberry and his office!! ~Erica A.

EXCELLENT REPRESENTATION

I am so very satisfied with the whole team that Joe Borsberry has in his office. We were able to get a free consultation right away. He heard our case & took it on right away with NO hesitation. He and his staff are so very nice & professional. I felt that they do truly care & want to help vs seein...g just number's. I love the professional courtesy I had with Denise. When I did call she would get me answers right away or I would hear right back from Joe with answers. If I ever need their expertise again I will not hesitate to call & know they are on my side.

Best attorney in Peoria IL.

Joseph is by far the best attorney I've delt with in the central Illinois area. I would highly recommend to anyone for any kind of legal advice. Not only that, but his staff will promptly answer any and all questions you may have.

Third Custody Case

Since my divorce back in 2010 I’ve been in 3 custody battles with my daughters father, this last one I hired Joeseph Borsberry to take my case. It was a long process but not due to Mr Borsberry but due to my ex husband and his attorney. Mr Borsberry is located an hour away from the town we lived in, ...he did everything in his power to work with us to save money on traveling fees, we were able to do most of our meetings via phone, during this process we only had to go to the court house 2 times and kept most of it very civil. He and his staff kept me up to date regularly through email and phone calls it made it so much easier as I couldn’t drive due to a health condition. He and his staff were very courteous and were always prompt with answering any questions I had. During our depositions with my ex husband and his attorney, it was a pleasure to watch Mr Borsberry work, he was able to get information from my ex husband that no other attorney could in the past, he kept me up to date with the ever changing laws so I knew what was going on and where we stood. I highly recommend Mr Borsberry and his staff, as they were prompt, courteous and very friendly, in the end I’m very pleased with our outcome and has finally brought some peace to our lives. They never made me feel like I was a burden or a hassle they always made me feel like our case was a top priority!
