Highly recommend

Joe was kind and compassionate throughout a lengthy and unique family law case. He was up front about the intricacies of the case and was thorough and dedicated throughout the case, which ended favorably!

Posted by Dana | June 20, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Wonderful attorney!

I hired Joe to handle a very difficult divorce case. We ended up having to go to court several times and each time came out on top. He has always handled himself professionally and I have the utmost confidence in him. It has been a pleasure working with him and he made a very painful situation as pai...nless as possible.

Contested divorce

I hired Joe as my lawyer just a few weeks prior to my pendante lite hearing to defend my interests and the interests of my children. My divorce was rather painful and I was facing someone who tried to hurt me in all possible ways with very aggressive lawyers. Joe did a fantastic job jumping in and de...fending my interests. I won my PL hearing and got my kids back with me. Joe was very mindful about finances and expenses and tried everything to mediate with the opposing party. At the end I ended up being divorced and able to move forward with my family. I will recommend Joe to anyone going through what I have gone through, he is my hero lawyer. Somehow I wished my spouse had chosen him as a lawyer because it will have saved us a lot of money, pain and suffering.

Great attorney!

Joe was hired by my husband and me in order to obtain visitation rights with our granddaughter. He was very knowledgeable and paid attention to the details of our case and as such we had a favorable outcome. We are so glad we entrusted this very important case to him and would not hesitate to hire hi...m again if another matter arises.

Great and Honest Service

I hired Jo to represent me during my divorce. He first helped me deal with custody issues and later with my divorce. Jo was great; I could always reach him via phone if I had questions and he always put me at ease during an extremely stressful time in my life. Jo was straight up with me, he told me w...hat the outcomes were probably going to be and he was 100% correct, which saved me money. The best attribute to Jo's service was the fact that he didn't push me into anything, he would simply go over different game plans and inform me of the pros, cons and likely outcomes of each one. I am 100% satisfied with the service I received and believe it was money well spent. I can now walk away from my divorce with the confidence that no lawyer could have done better. Thanks Jo!!

"Joe and I worked together for over 7 years and he was one of the smartest, hardworking and caring attorneys I have known. He truly cares about his clients and will do what is needed to get his client the best results. He is a reasonable attorney and has the common sense to know when to try a case and when a settlement is appropriate. We miss Joe a lot as do his clients in Maryland. Colorado has gained a wonderful attorney!"

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.
