Posted by Donny | October 16, 2015 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

The best of the best is all i can say

I hired Joseph for 2 outstanding warrants that i had from a probation violation ( not my fault ) and i did not even spent one second in jail he took care of everything on his part and was vary personal and helped me every step of the way. I cant thank him enough, Joseph pate is the best hands down.

Posted by AshLee | June 10, 2015

I would recommend him to anybody.

He has helped me with my case. He always either answered my calls or returned them with in minutes. Mr. Pates answered all my questions, he was very patient with me, never made me feel rushed, and you can tell he genuinely cares. I hope I will never need his services again but if so he will be the on...ly Attorney I will use.

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.
