Smart and Honest Lawyer

Joe is an extremely smart and competent lawyer who conducts himself with integrity and compassion. In my consultations with him over the past 20 years, he has always considered the likely outcome of potential litigation before engaging the legal process and he strongly advocates for compromise betwee...n parties as a first effort to resolve issues. I highly recommend Joe for complex and simple disputes. I trust his judgment and his honesty.

A client's experience and perspective

I have worked with Joe for a number of years on a variety of business and real estate transactions. Joe and his associates have been timely in their work, provided me with alternative strategies and their associated risks, and have guided me successfully. Some of my issues have been simple and s...traightforward. Some of my issues have been more complicated, involving both legal issues and business judgments. Joe's advice and counsel have been valuable, effective, and have contributed to my success in business.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
