Honesty

Joseph is one of many few lawyers that will always be honest,faithful,and fair. He has always been there and willing to listen and to help in anyway.

Unresponsive Lawyer

We hired Joseph in a child modification case. He did try and fight for any of my rights as a father. His communication was poor. I asked for some specific things and he tried to talk me down on most of them. I asked several times for a balance on my account and never received anything from his offic...e on the balance I had after paying $3,500.00. Then he just quit responding and never got back with me on anything. When I had to testify in front of the judge he knew my ex lied on the stand and he did not call her out on it. It was pathetic.

I would like to give him less than one star!

I paid him to help my daughter-in-law with a life insurance issue after my som died over a year ago. He has not gotten anything accomplished.

Divorce

"Don't get mad. Get everything"! Mr. Wilkinson made my most painful failure a painless success. He achieved an amazing settlement in my case. Thank you.

Best Lawyer ever

I got him as my lawyer in a misdemeanor case that turned into a felony. It had been 2 years since I got arrested and already on probation for 1 charge from that same night and waiting to get my second care taken care of. Since I was already on probation for 1 it made my conditions difficult. But Mr. ...Wilkinson work hard on my case to make sure I didn't get my license taken away since I work for the state. With a felony I would no longer have my license. Well I go to court nervous thinking I'm going to be charged with this felony and I won't have my license anymore. Mr. Wilkinson ended up getting my case dismissed!!! 2 years of waiting to get this over with and it finally is!!!
