NoName

Do not hire. Does not respond. Leaves work to paralegals, does not file motions in time or at all. Lack of professionalism.

Dedicated/Driven/Professional

Joel is extremely educated and proficient in his work; he can handle it. If he is in court late, he makes sure he has the answers to your questions before calling to try to accommodate his clients' busy schedule. I got lucky in a guessing game when I chose Caddell Reynolds.

An EXCELLENT attorney!!!

Mr. Hargis is truly an amazing attorney! I felt very comfortable talking to him. He listened to all my concerns and provided the best option for my situation. His level of compassion and professionalism is extraordinary.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

He helped from losing everything including our beautiful home. He excepted our case on Thursday morning worked day and night.

He did exactly what my family and friends said he and his wonderful wife would do, if they could. They kept there word! Never delayed always on top of our needed next step. And prepared us during our chapter 13 bankruptcy.

Professionalism

Joel and his wife Mandy have really helped me during this extremely stressful time of filing for Chapter 13 Bankruptcy. Any time I have a question they respond so quickly. I really appreciate all their hard work and assistance!!!

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.
