Fastest and most responsive attorney ever!

I contacted Joel via text message about an order I needed done at 1:41pm, by 2:30 the order was filed in the court! I have never worked with anyone so efficient and timely. Thank you Joel for your help and professionalism!

Outstanding Lawyer!

Joel did wonders in less than a month! Won my case for early termination of probation before I even hit my half way mark of completing it! Highly recommend. Also has great pricings, he doesn’t cost and arm & leg! Thank you again Joel!!!

AMAZING

Joel is an amazing attorney with great compassion. He went over and beyond to help me through the worst year of my life. I came out of my situation as a winner thanks to him and his hard work. He is my attorney but now a great friend.

The best lawyer I've ever had!

Joel is a great lawyer and that's a fact. He has handled several cases of mine over the last several years and I couldn't be more satisfied. Joel is a very competent attorney and he will shoot straight with you. Joel took the time to really discuss my options with me and answered all my questions. He... told me what he thought the best possible outcome would be and then he made it happen. I always felt that Joel had my best interest in mind during the entire process. I always recommend Joel when I have a friend in need of legal services simply because I trust him. If you're looking for a great attorney then call Joel, and I promise you won't regret it.

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.
