Joel Nass Saved my Family

My wife and I were blind-sided when my former spouse let us know of her relocation plans with only 30 days notice. We were devastated at the prospect of no longer being able to play a significant role in the lives of my young son and my special needs daughter. I had been told that dad's typically d...idn't win these types of domicile restriction cases and the fact that my daughter had special needs made it even more unlikely. Not long after we hired Joel, we knew we had found the right man for the job! Joel did a wonderful job of orchestrating and managing all aspects of pre-trial discovery and depositions, but what was most important, was his masterful performance in the court room. Over the course of a five day trial, Joel ensured that my children would remain in Houston and that we would be able to fully participate in their daily lives. We will always be grateful to you Joel.

High quality, highly recommended

I highly recommend Joel Nass and his team. Through every step of the way they were competent, thorough, courteous, and reachable whenever I needed them. They put extensive preparation and maximum effort into my case, which always contributed to successful outcomes. Processes involving hearings, motio...ns, mediations, trials, and such, were handled professionally. They are a high quality team and worth the investment.

Avvo Rating

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.
