Great Strategist

I am going to borrow some from another review because reading it I was thinking that is exactly what he did for me. Joe's ability to strategize my case and our approach then methodically follow through with the execution! He is extremely knowledgeable on not only the laws but court systems especially... locally! His knowledge showed to pay off in many different ways! His personal touch along with bringing the rights assistance in my case when needed was nothing short of a perfectly executed plan with phenomenal teamwork! I had one of the lawyers for men in my divorce trial and it ended terribly with my ability to ever retire due to alimony payments in jeopardy. I chose Joe to represent me in my divorce modification and his strategy paid off so well we ended us settling for far less than I was offering to my EX out of the gate. I could not have been more satisfied. I also recommend anyone who may see themselves in this tough personal situation to take the time to counsel with Joe before making any decisions! The BEST!!

Remarkable

I was referred to Joe's firm by another well respected attorney in St. Louis. I called him recently and thanked him for the outstanding recommendation! Joe's ability to strategize my case and our approach then methodically follow through with the execution! He is extremely knowledgeable on not... only the laws but court systems in the different counties! His knowledge showed to pay off in many different ways! His personal touch along with bringing the rights assistance in my case when needed was nothing short of a perfectly executed plan with phenomenal teamwork! Joe and his firm are undeniably the best in the business! I highly recommend anyone who may see themselves in this tough personal situation to take the time to counsel with Joe before making any decisions! The BEST!!

Got me custody

It's tough for a guy going through a custody case, especially when you think the deck is stacked against you as a father. But by the end of the case, I got everything I was after. I've already referred him to two other family members and friends. I'd recommend Joe to anyone.

Posted by Bob | July 23, 2015

Initial consult and retainer

Joe took time to review the whole process to me with a keen sense of understanding mixed with immense understanding of Family Law. I am a single father of three kids and I feel confident that I chose the right lawyer to protect my interests for my complicated custody case. I am going to rate Joe as ...this case progresses, but at this time I would HIGHLY recommend Joe for your consideration.

Avvo Rating

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.
