Chris Joseph for instant hire
From the day I was given Mr. Joseph's name, he and his company of attorneys have been nothing short of what I was told; knowledgeable, experienced and responsive. There is never a day that goes by that he hasn't made himself available by phone, email, text or in person. My company retained Chris fo...

Worthless at any price..much less 300 an hour!
All the supposed facts of my case changed every time we went to court, he acted surprised by every outcome like he did not really know what was happening and half the hearings etc. were needless. I would never recommend Mr. Joseph in any capacity. He started with one story and changed it so many time...
"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."
