Phone Consultation
I contacted Joe for a phone consultation about a problem I was having with a plumber in STL doing work on my home, without my authorization, where he gained access from keys in a realtor lock box. He returned my phone call within a couple of hours. He listened to my situation and gave me an honest recommendation on what to do given the laws in MO and the language that was on a quote from the plumber. If I would've ended up needing legal representation, I would've gone with him. He's very approachable and a good listener - not pretentious at all like some lawyers can be.
