Highly recommend!

Mr. Borsberry successfully guided me through my divorce with a problem ex-husband that filed a lot of frivolous pleadings. He kept me calm and gave me great advice on how to proceed. He brought home a great outcome for me.

Excellent Attorney -

I utilized Borsberry Law for a DUI case. Joe was straight forward, explaining what I options I had and what the law was regarding the charges from incident. After a long legal battle, we had the DUI dropped and a very favorable result. This prevented me from having to work through a reinstatement ...process if the charge had held up. I would recommend Joe and his office to anyone in central IL with a case in criminal or his other areas of expertise. Excellent lawyer. A very helpful staff. Overall, a great law practice that produces results.

Divorce/Custody

Mr. Borsberry has done a great job, representing me during a complex divorce and custody situation. My son was in a very bad situation while living with his mother and now my son is living with me and doing a lot better. Joe is very knowledgeable in the law and is always prepared for court. Joe has g...iven very good advice and counsel through there proceedings. I would highly recommend Borsberry Law.

Highly recommended!!

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.
