Joseph Michael Borsberry

Borsberry Law did a terrible job with my case. They allowed apposing counsel to run circles around them and treated my case like an administrative exercise. During court appearances apposing counsel dominated proceedings and appeared to simply overwhelm the Borsberry Law team. At some court appearanc...es the lawyer from Brosberry Law seemed more concerned about making the local bar association meeting on time (I believe he is the president) than making maximum use of time with the judge! The Borsberry team also worked in a sort of Black box fashion, keeping me in the dark, not adequately preparing me or explaining what the potential outcomes might be/ what they would mean. The lawyer would often print/scan the legal code and share it with me as if I am a lawyer and would be able to interpret what things meant in the larger context of the law on my own. I am not a lawyer. The Borsberry team also showed little empathy or concern about gender bias and race prejudice. They team seemed blind to and unaware of the volume of published on segregated schools and housing, disparities in Black and White income/wealth in the city of Peoria and surrounding county. The Borsberry team was reluctant and discouraged making use of those factors in-front of the judge because, they said, the court wouldn't be "sympathetic" to them. For my particular case these factors were relevant, and they are really issues in Peoria. You'd probably be served better elsewhere, especially if you are a Black person/person of color given their lack of knowledge, empathy and deniial of race bias. In my opinion they’re not equipped to advocate well where issues about race bias are a factor. This may not be intentional or unique to The Borsberry Law team, as segregation and poor education and economic outcomes for Black people is the norm that many in Peoria may simply be blind to. Things have changed dramatically for the better since I retained a new lawyer. I clearly see how poorly the Borsberry Law team handled my case.

As our first encounter with a legal issue, Joe Borsberry and his staff were very pleasant to work with throughout our entire case. He is very knowledgeable and able to explain the legal jargon in ways we can understand, exceptionally responsive to phone calls/emails and very easy to work with in the ...office and in the court room. We would highly recommend him and his staff with accolades to their customer service and legal representation.

I have now used Joe twice as a lawyer and have had an exceptional experience both times! Him and his team are very friendly and passionate! They will answer any questions that you have to the best of their ability!! I got the outcome I was hoping for and couldn’t be more pleased with how Joe went abo...ve and beyond to help me achieve it! I would definitely recommend him to anyone and everyone!!

I am very pleased with the job that Joe and his team did for me. His consultation was FREE and he answered my questions in down to earth fashion that I could understand. I did have a few questions before we went to court and I was able to contact him at any time. When we went to court he was very wel...l prepared and he produced the out come that I was hopeing for. He and his team kept me well informed as to what was going on and they gave me reminders as to when my court appearance scheduled. I will defiantly use Joe and his team again. I would defiantly recommend him and his team to anyone who needs an excellent and experienced lawyer.

...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.
