Posted by AJ Smith | November 25, 2015 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Extremely knowledgeable and overall a great person!

In 2011, I walked into Joseph's previous employers office to get a DUI handled. I paid the office and assumed that it was taken care of. I never called them and they never called me. I just wanted to pretend it didn't happen and go on about my life. Come to find out, it wasn't taken care of by the... previous firm that Joseph worked for. Just recently I received a letter in the mail stating that I had a new court date. Obviously I freaked out and went to the old firm that I paid back in 2011 to handle it and asked them why it wasn't handled. They proceeded to blame it on Mr. Welch's negligence and told me that they would need more money if I wanted them to represent me again. I was furious because I already paid them in 2011 for something that didn't get taken care of and had proof of it. They couldn't have cared less. After declining their insulting offer of taking more of my money to do nothing for me AGAIN, I decided to reach out to Mr. Welch to see what happened back in 2011. He told me what happened, was more than apologetic, and told me that he would either get them to represent me for free or just do it for free himself. I was shocked. I didn't realize that those type of people still existed in the world. He didn't have to make the wrong of HIS PREVIOUS EMPLOYER right, but he did. Not only did he do the job that his previous employer was PAID to do, but he did a fantastic job (multiple court appearances, with an eventual winning result for myself). Words cannot express how grateful I am of Joseph and the type of person he is. He is just a genuinely good person. He didn't have to help me out over four years after the fact, but he did. Overall a great lawyer and an even better person. Thanks again Joseph!
