Posted by Hugo | November 1, 2016 | Hired Attorney
Mr. Joseph was very upfront, honest, and knowledgeable during the handling of my Federal case. He and the staff are always available to answer questions. I was extremely pleased with the outcome of my case. I couldn't ask for better counsel.

Mr. Joseph impressed me from our first interaction and his counsel proves superb. In fact, he immediately recognized what proved the key to arriving at a successful outcome. Mr. Joseph's demeanor is so steady that it confers rare comfort while concerned with legal matters. You should look back...

I needed a Federal lawyer after some troubling times and I picked Mr. Joseph from the internet and called him. Someone must have been watching over me, because this was the best thing i could've done at the time. He was not only helpful for me to understand my rights and my options, but also listen...

I looked for a long time to find an Attorney who had the skill, knowledge and ability to fight a state law that I believed was unconstitutional.

"I endorse Christopher. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."
"Chris is an excellent attorney. He has the ability to identify the pivotal issues in any case and litigate them effectively. I have referred several clients to Chris and they have all been very well represented."
"I first had the privilege of working with Mr. Joseph while I served as a prosecutor in Shawnee county, Kansas, one of the many northeast Kansas counties in which Mr. Joseph practices. Mr. Joseph was always very well prepared to defend his clients and as a prosecutor I found him to be a zealous advocate. As a prosecutor, I always knew when I went to court with Chris Joseph I'd better be on my game! Now as a defense attorney peer, I again have the privilege of working with Mr. Joseph. He is always well prepared and communicates regularly and effectively with his clients to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of their case. Mr. Joseph is learned in the law and a terrific trial lawyer. I would recommend Chris Joseph without equivocation."
