Thorough and Honest

We were referred to Joel Price by a friend for our (step-parent) adoption case. We weren't 100% confident going in, as we were told it would be a "fight". When we met with Joel, we explained our situation, and he was very thorough in his evaluation of our case. His extensive knowledge of family law a...nd persistence turned what we thought would be a grueling court battle into an expedited adoption. Throughout the whole process, Joel kept a positive, yet realistic outlook on every aspect of our case. His assistant, Lynsey was also fantastic to work with. She communicated with us regularly and was always aware of what was going on within our case. Thanks Joel and Lynsey for the great work!

Saved My Grandchildren

Guardianship cases are long drawn out propositions. Because of this, you'll need a lawyer that will stay on top of your case and not let an opposition lawyer take advantage of any situation. Joel Price did just that for us. Listen to what he has to say and DO IT! Write down what he tells you to write... down, and list what he tells you to list! If you don't, he'll tell you about it in no uncertain terms, and you WANT him to, he doesn't like to lose! Because of his expertise, We have 2 of our grandchildren that live with us instead of living somewhere we don't even know of or couldn't begin to find. Thank you Joel, you were an answer to our prayers. We get to go to bed knowing our grandchildren are safe.

30 year drug sentence reduced to probation

First, let me preface this by saying that I'm not the type to write reviews, however, I feel that the representation I received was so outstanding, that it merited the time. I retained Joel Price in 2015 after being referred to him by multiple people. I had an initial consultatation with him and we w...ent over the details of my case together and he explained all of the possible outcomes. I was very impressed with his knowledge of the law and legal process. Unlike other attorneys that I've had, Joel always kept me informed and made me feel like my case was important; This by itself put me much more at ease. After we received our motion of discovery, he was able to negotiate a possible 30 year prison sentence down to probation without myself ever seeing the inside of a courtroom. Retaining Joel was one of the best decisions that I've made.

An awesome bulldog attorney

In October of 2014, my husband and I were both facing misdemeanor and felony charges as result of an altercation with threatening and harassing neighbors. A friend recommended us to Joel W. Price. Joel was awesome, and took care of us from day 1. many face to face meetings, phone calls, and emails.... He explained ever minor detail, explained what he could do, and advised us on what path to take. He kept us well informed though We do not regret hiring Mr. Price one bit! Mr. Price has an impressive knowledge of the law and court procedures. He was on top of every detail (even if it was filings from the State). He is a well-respected attorney by other attorneys (even the prosecutors) as well as the court. We could not have asked for a better attorney to paint the picture for the court of our situation. Joel knew immediately our situation and how to bring to light the intent of the other party. I would highly recommend Joel W. Price is you want an attorney that will work for you and be in your corner to fight for you every step of the way. Joel and his assistant make a great team, and catch stuff that would otherwise slip thorugh the cracks.

Looking for a Lawyer? Look no further. Mr. Joel Price is all the Lawyer you will ever need.

I was referred to Joel Price by multiple people after finding out I was being investigated in a criminal case. I hired him before a warrant for my arrest was issued. Mr. Price was immediately on top of things. Mr. Price is a very straight forward person which is something that I not only appreciat...e but admire about a person. We had several meetings to sort through all the information I provided and what the investigators provided. I would ask him questions about laws and he would turn around in his chair, grab a law book, flip to the correct page and show me the answer all within just a very few short minutes. I have never seen someone know that much about the law until meeting Mr. Joel Price. Mr. Price always made sure that I have a copy of every letter that was either sent to or from him. I never felt left out of the loop and was always made aware of what Mr. Price was doing in my case. Of course I can not leave out Mr. Price's assistant, Lynsey. She was always helpful in keeping me on track with meeting dates, court dates, letters, etc.. Mr. Price and Lynsey make a great team and definitely made me feel comfortable even with me having a criminal charges filed against me. Mr. Price taught me a lot about the law going through this whole process. Because of Mr. Price, I am not in prison, still have my kids, got my felony charge changed to a little misdemeanor charge that will be expunged from my record in a year, and won my second court case. I would recommend Mr. Joel Price to anyone and will continue to use Mr. Price in the future.
