About Joseph
Biography
Since moving to Aledo in 2006, my wife and I have been increasingly involved in our church, The Crossing, and in support of our Aledo schools. My sons have given two of my pastimes, the first being public address announcing for various sporting events. I have served as the voice of Aledo Baseball since 2009, and two years ago added Aledo Bearcat and Ladycat soccer to my duties.
From doing highlight videos for our youngest son, who played Bearcat football and eventually finished his football career at Texas A&M, I learned to love editing videos.
My wife and I are both privileged to serve as part-time missionaries - Corinne to Cambodia and me to Portugal.
I love reading, really love my law practice, and now spending time with our two grandchildren, ages 3 and two months.

I feel 100% taken advantage of… Sad
This was not a positive experience for me, and I would not work with this attorney again. I spent several thousand dollars on legal services and ultimately walked away without any usable work product or resolution in hand.

Professional misconduct
This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2001.
Fully Probated Suspension issued in TX, 2001
updated on 11/10/2016Fully probated suspension means an attorney is technically suspended but may still practice law. The State monitors the lawyer's activities during the suspension to make sure that he or she does not repeat the behavior.
Joseph’s comment:
“In 1999, I elected to leave private law practice to accept a position as Trust Counsel for a non-profit investment firm managing $2 billion in assets. Of nearly 400 clients represented by my firm, three ignored my notice to secure a new attorney to represent them and filed complaints that were directly traceable to their own inaction. The SBOT refused to dismiss the complaints, however, and I eventually decided it was best to accept a period of probation. I harmed none of complainants involved.”
