Caring and professional

I hired Joel because I know him to be a caring and honest person . My mother was mine and my children's world . Our world was tragically,and wrongfully taken from us by a careless doctor who lied about his surgical qualifications . My mother went in for a gastric sleeve and came out with a complete g...astric bypass . She bled to death internally one month later in front of our faces . Autopsy revealed the cause of death was a cut spleen , colon deflation and several other medical mal procedures . The doctor refused to move her to a life saving hospital 45 min away , instead I was told the body would heal itself as he sent her home and gave me instructions to care for her . We are from a very small town , and no one would bother touching the case due to the hospital having a cap . Joel took the challenge and went above and beyond for my family . He hired the best of the best to investigate . Joel fought hard , because as you may know a doctor and the hospital is protected so much EVEN if they are in the wrong . Joel won the case. No amount Of money that we settled for would ever be enough to bring my mother back , but justice and accountability needed to be served for their actions . We miss her tremendously, our lives have never been the same , and we’re pretty alone in this world now . However time to time Joel will check in on us and ask how we are . I also hired him for my daughter regarding the school going overboard on allowing her to attend due to acute illness . Joel got her into school and into the 504 program . She is now thriving and getting the assistance she needs at school . If you need someone you can’t go wrong choosing Joel .

smart, organized, reliable, knowledgeable

A driver, under the influence of drugs, run a red light at high speed and hit my vehicle. It was an ugly accident. Unfortunately, I did not hire Joel Pardo from the beginning but hired another firm. The firm was incompetent and created lot of unnecessary delays and missed opportunities. So, when Joel... Pardo from Ramsey Law took my case, I was frustrated and exhausted. Joel gained my trust when I saw his clear and organized thinking and plan of action. Joel is easy to work with, smart and thinks fast. He is very professional and approachable at the same time. He is well organized and knows the ins and outs of what is needed in car accident cases. He is a good listener and took into consideration my suggestions and comments. He clearly explained the status of my case, the steps that followed, timing, and the options & the pros-cons. He kept me well informed. No surprises, which I like. It was easy to reach him if I needed to ask a question or make a comment. Reachability is important. I felt my interests were part of his priority. His team is good too. They are organized, they are on top of dates, schedule, information needed. If we had a disagreement, the discussion was civilized, rational, and intelligent. I valued his open approach. I believe the result of my case was satisfactory. I would recommend Joel Pardo to anyone that has been involved in a traffic accident.

Excellent and Knowledgeable Attorney

I am a medical professional who sought Mr. Pardo’s counsel regarding a complex medical contract and challenging non-compete clauses. I was very impressed with Mr. Pardo’s expertise, broad knowledge and confidence. He successfully advocated on my behalf and I was pleased with the outcome. Mr. Pardo is... professional, courteous, communicates well and ensured that I was up to date throughout this stressful ordeal which I really appreciated. I highly recommend Mr. Pardo as he is an excellent lawyer who is dedicated to his clients and will work extremely hard to represent you well.
